Edward R Anderson TRU Group Inc Canada
TRU Group Inc has probably the most qualified lithium team in the world - a strong capability in all aspects of lithium technology and industry - lithium brine, spodumene ore, lithium clay mining, compound & metal extraction, manufacturing, engineering and refining and has also worked extensively in the applications for lithium including in Li-ion, cells, batteries, compounds, ceramics, lithium quartz crystals, metal and lithium alloys. We are expert in the production and refining of lithium intermediates such as brines, lithium carbonate, lithium hydroxide, lithium chloride, butyl-lithium, lithium metal, lithium alloys and compounds. We know, have visited and have assessed most of the lithium facilities in the USA, Chile, China, Argentina, Bolivia, Australia, Canada, Russia and Zimbabwe etc.

My interests are primarily in diagenesis of clastic rocks and geochemistry of formation waters. I recently became interested in the geochemistry (ions and stable isotopes)of clastic sabkha pore waters by trying to interpret early cements in ancient (Permo-Carboniferous) desert sandstones. I began collecting pore waters from modern desert sedimentary environments on weekends here in Saudi Arabia as a hobby, and this ultimately became part of a research project this is on-going. As part of this study I also began sampling modern salt pans and playas in the Kingdom.

For the calculation of the thermodynamics properties the formulist of Pitzer and collaborators, is applicated. The purpose of these studies is contribute antecedents on the nature of the waters in desert environmental and the relationships of interactions between dissolved element and precipitate. Keywords: andean lake, Geochemistry,Hypersaline environments, Mineral deposits of saline lakes, Naturals brines,Evaporites. Do you write me for interchange subjects.
