Separation techniques for mineral recovery from fluids with the list of minerals that can be extracted with each method. (a) An applied voltage will cause a metal to be electrochemically reduced and deposited onto a cathode; (b) Exchange of similar charged ions between the resin and solution; (c) The mineral is extracted using another immiscible solvent through a chemical process; (d) The adsorbent targets specific charged ions; (e) Selectively permit certain components across a semi-permeable membrane; and (f) The mineral is precipitated by adding a chemical to the fluid.
