1. In the United States, lithium is recovered from brine pools in Nevada. 2. Deep-sea and Antarctic brine pools can be toxic to marine animals. 3. Lithium salts are extracted from water in mineral springs, brine pools , and brine deposits. 4. Under the right conditions, including favorable ocean floor topography, a brine pool may be created. 5. These are sometimes called brine lakes, but are more frequently referred to as brine pools . 6. Both countries recover lithium from brine pools . 7. Commercially the element is easily extracted from brine pools , mostly in the United States, Israel and China. 8. Lithium salts have to be extracted from the water of mineral springs, brine pools , and brine deposits. 9. These craters mark the formation of brine pools , from which salt has seeped through the seafloor and encrusted the nearby substrate. 10. Iodine is found on Earth mainly as the highly water-soluble iodide I ", which concentrates it in oceans and brine pools .
