Found this from FMC interesting

In 1991, FMC Lithium, after entering the energy storage market as a supplier of lithium salts, supplied commercial lithium carbonate to Sony Electronics for the first lithium cobaltate battery production. Just four years later, in 1995, FMC Lithium began supplying advanced lithium materials for the cathode market.
In 1995, FMC Lithium facilitated two major breakthroughs in the development of a brine-based resource for lithium. First, FMC Lithium purchased the Salar del Hombre Muerto, an Argentine salar containing high uniform concentrations of lithium with low levels of other contaminants. Brine-based deposits hold high concentrations of lithium in ranges from 200 to 2000 parts per million which can be further concentrated using solar evaporation. Second, FMC perfected and commercialized a selective purification process that extracts lithium chloride from the salar brine in a 95+ pure form with minimal processing.

​

The Salar del Hombre Muerto is located in the high Andes (13,200 feet above sea level) about 850 miles northwest of Buenos Aires. The location is convenient to major rail lines and seaports. Covering a smaller area than most salars of the region, it contains lithium brines at depths much greater than its neighbors. Lithium reserves are sufficient for well over 75 years.
