SSGF Mineral Major Elements and Lithium Concentration
Presented are major element and lithium concentrations of minerals from the Salton Sea Geothermal Field (SSGF), located in the Imperial Valley, California. With a recent increase in demand for lithium, the area is now being studied as a source of geothermal brine for lithium extraction. This study was performed to help quantify lithium storage in the SSGF brine and surrounding minerals. Rocks and brines sampled in this study are from surface rhyolitic domes on the South Eastern shore of the Salton Sea, the sedimentary and evaporitic rocks in the Durmid Hills, rhyolitic drill clippings previously studied by Schmitt & Hulen, commercial drill wells, and CA State 2-14 well.
