The invention enables “green” and “conflict-free” acquisition of critical minerals via refinement from aqueous sources. These advantages are impactful in applications including refinement of rare materials such as certain metals, especially metals necessary for production of energy storage devices required to advance environmental goals, such as in the Paris climate agreement. The inventive concepts include economically viable approaches to refinement, as well as economically viable apparatuses. In some approaches, valuable materials such as metals are refined from salts obtained from aqueous sources. Power required to refine materials is provided by renewable energy sources. Real world implementations involve co-locating a dissociative reactor with a geothermal energy plant near an aquifer with salt(s) therein. Refined minerals are produced on site. Practice of the disclosed techniques reduce or eliminate many negative environmental impacts such as those incurred by legacy mining based techniques.

A process for the preparation of purified potassium chloride comprises the at least partial removal of one or more class 1 heavy metal impurity (lead, arsenic, cadmium and/or mercury) from potassium chloride process liquor by an ion exchange step. The process uses an ion exchange resin and achieves high levels of purity and is compatible with high flow rates. A recrystallisation step (e.g. a cooling crystallization step) may be employed subsequent to the ion exchange step.

A method for purifying sodium bromide by the waste circuit board pyrolysis coke, belonging to the field of purifying sodium bromide and high-value utilization, and more particularly, relating to a method for reducing and purifying crude bromine salt enriched from waste circuit board smelting ash by using waste circuit boards pyrolysis coke. The main steps are as follows: carbonization conversion, purification filtration and vacuum exsolution. The pure sodium bromide crystal was obtained by reducing crude bromine salt enriched from waste circuit board smelting ash by using coke in waste circuit board pyrolysis residues, realizing the resource coupling and high-value utilization of the two wastes, avoiding the secondary pollution in the process of recycling the waste circuit boards. It has the characteristics of simple operation, high resource utilization rate and no tail liquid discharge.
