    South African farmers up in arms over fears of losing productive land to open-pit lithium mines

    They probably could but i would think the engineering problem is the issue then to separate sodium from lithium. In normal sea water for every 1ppm of lithium there would be about 60000ppm of sodium.

    South African farmers up in arms over fears of losing productive land to open-pit lithium mines

    It's not economically viable as it requires extremely complex engineering and energy. Complexity comes from the fact that Sodium and Lithium are, chemically, very similar so separation is very difficult. Concentration of lithium in sea water is very small. To produce 1kg requires the...

    Home Affairs publishes tender for service provider to maintain its data centres

    If it's anything like their IT partner that handles their emails then it's going to be a disaster. I tried to email one of the contacts but the mail kept rejecting for spf and dkim failure. Checking the message header they have a poorly implemented forwarding system which keeps the original...

    Borehole Water Treatment - Iron - Irrigation only

    Hi, I actually don't have any issue with my first bit of borehole being dirty but to answer your question about automating the header to move to backwash and then back to normal I have not yet found a way to do this and always do a manual backwash when needed. To be honest though I haven't had...

    Legal warning for anti-vaxxers in South Africa

    It's actually the first injection given at 6 weeks but I do agree that people don't tend to keep up with the boosters, I know I havent

    Legal warning for anti-vaxxers in South Africa

    Same. Some of the vaccines on the government provided list I would say is almost non-negotiable. Meningitis ( specifically pneumococcal) I would consider one of those, along with mumps, chicken pox and measles (although mumps and chicken pox are not government provided / subsidized which I find...

    Fraudsters wipe out pensioner's savings, Nedbank offers just R20,000 'goodwill gesture'

    The whole premise of "the banks should do more to protect customers" is a double edged sword. On one side yes, those that are easy prey for these sorts of things would need extra protection methods but on the other side you have security savvy people that would not appreciate having to jump...

    ATT: Small Business Owners / RE: Biometric Clocking Machine

    I am interested in the cloud solution they are providing if you can provide some insight into that. I've tried to look at alternatives to my provider, not necessarily due to cost but the support is a bit of the PITA when needing to add people. A free solution would obviously be nicer since I...
