On the 06th of December 2022, the SPE RWTH Aachen Student Chapter had the pleasure to welcome Mr. Valentin Goldberg M.Sc. a geoscientist specializing in Lithium Extraction within the geothermal research area, to hold a presentation about “Lithium Extraction in the Geothermal Exploration”. The session has participated from students of RWTH Aachen applied geoscience student and international participants either came from industry or academia, and there were 31 people who took part in the event.
Mr. Valentin started his presentation by talking about the Lithium market in general and followed by Germany’s future Lithium demand. Mr. Valentin also shared a comprehensive review of the Lithium extraction technologies, starting from liquid-liquid / solvent extraction, inorganic sorbents, the comparison between each extraction method, and an example of an extraction scheme.
After that Mr. Valentin continued to explain the Lithium production scenario. Mr. Valentin also provided a detailed technical description of the chances and challenges of the Lithium Extraction activity in Germany.

At the end of the presentation, a Q&A session was open where participants had the opportunity to ask questions either through the chat box or directly to Mr. Valentin. The high level of interest in the topic was demonstrated by many questions regarding the optimization of the extraction process, favorable structural geological conditions for the manifestation of lithium in the geothermal field, and the development of Lithium over time. Mr. Valentin answered and discussed all questions. On behalf of all students and the SPE Student Chapter at RWTH Aachen University, we would like to thank Mr. Valentin for sharing valuable insights into Lithium Exploration in Geothermal Exploration and we would like to wish him all the best in his career and hope to see him again in our SPE Student Chapter.
