A TRIAL to boost critical minerals production has shown that fake plastic lily pads could be a second Sun for lithium manufacturers. Trials have shown the discs boost heat absorption in the large ponds used by the mining industry to extract lithium. These ponds recover valuable minerals from brine, which is pumped to the surface from underground deposits. As the water evaporates from the pond, concentrated minerals are left behind.
