Ecology and Raw Materials: Coexistence in Siberian Technologies is Effective!
In this article, the ecological and economic efficiency of Siberian technologies is assessed using the example of the achievements of scientists of the SB RAS in the complex processing of lithium raw materials. It is proved the need for urgent changes in the calculation of efficiency in investment planning to account for the environmental and economic damage prevented by the best available technologies. Such for all approved criteria are sorption enrichment technologies and other technologies given in the article. Substantial positive effect of ecological effects on the economic efficiency of fundamentally new Siberian technologies in the complex processing of polycomponent lithium brines of the Siberian Platform is substantiated. The reasons retarding these technologies are estimated. Administrative and legal measures are proposed to accelerate the implementation of the best available technologies in industrial production.
