“…Geothermal brines refer to hot, concentrated saline solutions that flow through hot rocks and are used to generate electricity via geothermal power plants (Al Radi et al, 2022). These brines mostly consist of water, while also being rich in major elements and minerals such as potassium, arsenic, boron, silica, and most critically, lithium (Al Radi et al, 2022;Stringfellow & Dobson, 2021;Warren, 2021). The extraction of these elements and minerals from geothermal brines is useful as it provides alternative sources of their supply, as well as important in order to avoid their harmful impacts on geothermal power plant components (Al Radi et al, 2022).…”
