Description
Description | Tesla's nearly $1 billion lithium refinery in Robstown, Texas, uses an alkaline leach method for lithium refining, touted as an "acid-free" process producing benign byproducts. However, independent testing found toxic metals including hexavalent chromium and arsenic in the wastewater discharge, leading to a cease-and-desist order from the local drainage district. The district recommends installing a multi-stage wastewater treatment plant with reverse osmosis and heavy metals removal systems. |
