Electronic waste is full of toxic components. When we throw them away (or they go into the trash), they are exposed and react with the air, sun or rain. They then emit chemicals that pollute the atmosphere, water and soil. Sooner or later these substances enter our bodies and make us sick. Find out here which are some of the most dangerous ones and what health problems they cause. Have you ever thought about what happens to them when the devices are no longer useful and we throw them away?

The name of the metal lithium (from the Greek λίθoς -ου, (“stone”), comes from the fact that it was found in a mineral, while the rest of the alkali metals were discovered in plant tissues.

Lithium (Li) is the lightest metal, its density is half that of water. Like the other alkali metals, it is monovalent and very reactive, although less so than sodium, so it is not found free in nature.

All the others were sintered through nuclear fusion in main sequence stars or during supernova outbursts. It has the following basic physical and chemical characteristics:

800,000 tons of automotive batteries, 190,000 tons of batteries for industrial use and 160,000 tons of batteries for domestic or citizen consumption enter the European Union markets annually. These batteries contain lithium and other valuable metals such as cobalt, copper, etc., in their composition.

Globally, the lithium-ion battery market is estimated to generate revenues of $46.21 billion in 2022.  Due to the increasing supply-demand tension in the market, lithium prices increased by 47% in 2016, and demand is estimated to increase by 64% by 2020.
