In 1970 the Russian exploration in northern Afghanistan have led to the discovery of oil and gas still in use now, in 2000 U.S. geologists have discovered a new mineral highly lucrative.
It is estimated that in Afghanistan, there are deposits of copper and lithium for the value of 1,000 billion dollars, making it the new spot for the extraction of hot metal in the world today.
Webandrank The team thinks that this has huge implications for future technologies.
Lithium has traditionally been used for liquid cooling and heat transfer applications, but now is used as anode material because of its electrochemical potential. Lithium is used also in other industries such as pharmaceuticals, fine chemicals and nuclear fusion.
served several volumes of books, to understand the many applications that the lithium in the modern world, in this article we focus on the technology of lithium-ion battery (LIB).
The user may not know that the lithium-ion battery is the 'battery pack' and is commonly used in all our common portable electronics (laptop computers and mobile phones). LIB are increasing in frequency for military products, electric vehicles and aerospace applications, due to their energy density.
According to the Handbook of Lithium and Natural Calcium, lithium is an element of extraction is difficult.
Lithium is a relatively rare, although it is in many rocks and some salt deposit is always in very low concentrations. And only relatively few of them are actual or potential commercial value. Many are very small deposits, others are too low concentration
Before the recent discovery of deposits of lithium in Afghanistan, only in Bolivia there were other large fields, but not yet extracted. With the discovery of these deposits in Afghanistan can expect to see a huge increase in mobile technology in laptop and electric cars. These new deposits of lithium should hopefully bring down the price of technology LIB and we will all be able to drive a Honda hybrid, while we use our BlackBerry.
The paradox about the discovery of this mineral is that it changes the shape of the war. If the United States, as many believe, are fighting to secure oil supplies have now found an alternative supply of minerals that may cause them to stop this "evil crusade" to search for oil. Afghanistan is set to become the world's largest mining town, being called by the Pentagon as 'Saudi Arabia of lithium'.
We hope that this discovery puts an end to violence in Afghanistan, and face so that we can get the iPhone to have cheap and eco-friendly car to drive.
