Abstract: This invention relates to a method for the selective recovery of manganese and zinc from brines that includes the steps of contacting a brine with an ionic liquid in order to selectively extract manganese and zinc from the brine into the ionic liquid; and treating the ionic liquid containing extracted manganese and zinc with an aqueous solution to selectively precipitate manganese, producing a manganese depleted, zinc rich ionic liquid. The method can further include the steps of treating the manganese depleted, zinc rich ionic liquid with an aqueous solution to selectively precipitate zinc.

Abstract: The invention generally relates to methods of removing potassium, rubidium, and/or cesium, selectively or in combination, from brines using tetrafluoroborates. Also disclosed are methods of producing potassium, rubidium, and/or cesium chlorides using ionic liquids and exchange media. This invention also generally relates to treated geothermal brine compositions containing reduced concentrations of silica, iron, and potassium compared to the untreated brines. Exemplary compositions of the treated brine contain a concentration of silica ranging from about 0 mg/kg to about 15 mg/kg, a concentration of iron ranging from about 0 mg/kg to about 10 mg/kg, and a concentration of potassium ranging from about 300 mg/kg to about 8500 mg/kg. Other exemplary compositions of the treated brines also contain reduced concentrations of elements like rubidium, cesium, and lithium.
