In a best-case scenario, the 2,000-square-mile Rock Springs Uplift could harbor up to 18 million tons of lithium, equivalent to about 720 years of current global lithium production. Recovering and marketing lithium from the brines would produce significant revenue to offset the cost of brine production, treatment and CO 2 storage operations.

A production prototype machine is under test at a customer site, with an additional gain of 1% absolute cell efficiency and process speeds up to 200 mm/sec having been demonstrated. The technique uses a solvent such as sodium or potassium hydroxides, converted by reacting with CO 2 to aqueous carbonates or bicarbonates.

A power production loop is located at the Arvada, Colo., Sienicki (2009) Investigation of alternative layouts for the supercritical carbon dioxide Brayton cycle for a sodium-cooled fast reactor. Because of the extremely high power densities and fluid density, Sandia has filed a Technical Advance for the TAC design. Wright et al.
