Prepared the first lithium battery for portable computers with 100%"DNA" Argentinean

In October, the Dell Latitude D620 lithium battery, first in Argentina, as a result of work by a team of scientists from the National University of Cordoba (UNC), National University of La Plata, CONICET, CNEA (National Atomic Energy Commission and Company "Sol ar.

"In October of this year will be approved for the production of hard drives for notebooks. In four years, the car is ready," said physicist Daniel Barraco, a researcher at UNC and CONICET and coordinator of the project.

"Our goal is clear, has all the salt of the battery in Argentina," he added.

Barraco said: "We are the first Latin American country, lithium batteries and develop its" great project of import substitution, not only but also for export could mean in the 21 st century, to the northwestern provinces of Argentina , that is, is .. Pampean agro-century century. "

The activity of lithium is iProfesional.com announced since its inception. (Note: Argentina has a future "star" of the recent wealth of raw materials and Argentina, in other hands Ten foreign companies already control the raw material of the future)

According to the bill in the provinces where mining occurs, and the tasks of scientific research, where they are currently qualified researcher.

In 2013, there was a national system with a patented technology for lithium in the salt mines of Puna with a purity of 99%, which is necessary to get the fire of the batteries. There is another medium-term plan: to build a pilot plant for cleaning.

"Our goal is to make the country the potential of the production line of lithium. In 2020, there will be 200 million cars with batteries of this type in the world," said Barraco.

Key resource

Argentina is the third of world reserves of lithium, Bolivia and Chile

This metal, causing a fever for international instrumental in the production of Mini 1012 batteries for electronics, hybrid electric cars and they say, is a strategic resource in the province of Jujuy.

While in 2001, 70,000 tons were used, the global demand in 2010 was 127,000. During the same period rose from Argentina produces 6,000 tons per year to 17,000.

Carbonate consumed by everyone, Chile provides 40%, Australia 29%, Argentina 14%, and 11 percent in China. Asia (Japan, China, Korea) consumes nearly 60% of production, 20% in Europe and the United States 12 percent.

Currently, 50% of production for lithium alloys, ceramics, lubricants, 30% for air conditioners, metal, car batteries, medicine, and 20% on mobile phone batteries, laptop and tablet.

Projections indicate that by 2025, the battery market will grow to have a market share of 50%.

The country is ranked in importance compared to the global supply of this "white oil", with 11 million tons (TNM) said third position, behind Bolivia, which represents 50% of the Salar de Uyuni and Chile, which owns 25 % of the Salar de Atacama.

Overall, the salt of Argentina, Bolivia and Chile for 85% of world reserves of this mineral. The Puna is 83% of lithium in the world, 15% more in Tibet and a meager 2% in Nevada, USA

The average cost of marginal production of soda is $ 3,300 OS / t. Lower in salt lakes in Chile, with 1,500 € ob / t. For its part, the FMC, in Catamarca, shows a number of $ 2,200 per tonne.

Like gold and oil, today, this metal is a renewable natural resource that is attractive to business groups around the world.

Business card

Lithium has been shown as a resource and mining companies by the producers.

The main production company in the world is in Australia Talison lithium, followed by SQM in Chile

Argentina is facing experience to produce a big bang, on the basis of this mineral, as in northwestern Argentina is one of the vertices of the triangle, which Forbes magazine as "the Saudi Arabia of lithium".

The results of the first seminar on extensive use in Argentina, by the Ministries of scientific innovation, technology and products, industry and the province of Jujuy in San Salvador, the wealth that keeps the country can be organized a turning point in the model mining conducted on the basis of technological development.

Tecchi Rudolph, head of the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology of Jujuy and Government on the subject, admits that "if you repeat the behavior that is applied to the exploitation of other natural resources, development n 'have not reached the level Local. If all that remains are the use of lithium mining royalties and that some jobs, it is best to keep the salt mines of future activities in a different way. "

And "the point of the Province of Jujuy, in line with the national team, the use of lithium is the start of production lines, to protect the environment and the value added through the application of knowledge and technology.

Waiting

And "in the medium term and long term, a significant increase in prices and demand for lithium XPS M1730 notebook Battery, which could double over the next ten years, organized according to the conclusions of the High Level Group on Sustainable Development in Latin America, Li said that the Commission Economic Commission for Latin America (ECLA) in 2010, at the end of the Santiago de Chile.

The international price for a ton of lithium carbonate have doubled in value in recent years, reaching $ 6,000. The reason is the exponential growth of the industrial production of rechargeable batteries for netbooks, laptops and mobile phones.

Sooner or later, said that the province of Jujuy, 7592 decree last year, the reserves of minerals, lithium as a strategic resource and tried to save as a non-renewable resources "should be a source of value creation and market participation local labor and the involvement of Jujuy. "

For this purpose, a panel of the National Council of Scientific and Technical Research (CONICET), National University of Jujuy (UNJu) for review and approval of plans for lithium. The Salar de Jujuy province of minerals Olaroz is the best quality for the low concentration of magnesium.

Refers to the last Congress of the Association of the metallurgical industry of Argentina (ADIMRA), President Cristina Kirchner of "lithium deposits very important" as a source of wealth in the new millennium, the challenge has said, is to "industrialize at source "and started the '" rural industry "slogan.
