Summary

Description
English: Lithium mine at Bolivia´s Uyuni Salt Flat, on a CBERS4 MUX yesterday´s image. That´s the highest and largest salt flat in the World at 12,000 feet and 3,100 sq mi. Covered by a thick salt crust, appearing in white, it is completely flat. Lithium rich brine covered areas appear in green and light blue. Brine evaporation pools, part of lithium extraction process, appear on a checkered pattern with 3 miles from North to South.
Português: Mina de lítio no Salar de Uyuni na Bolívia, em imagem CBERS4 MUX de ontem. A uma altitude de 3.700m, o deserto de sal de Uyuni é o maior do mundo com 8.000 km2. É coberto com uma crosta de sal, em cor branca, de alguns metros e é completamente plano. Áreas em verde e azul claro estão cobertas por salmoura, uma solução concentrada de sal em água, rica em lítio. As piscinas para evaporação e concentração da salmora, parte do processo de extração do lítio, aparecem em um padrão quadriculado, com 5 km de Norte a Sul.
Deutsch: Lithiummine am Salar de Uyuni in Bolivien. Mit einer Höhe von 3.700 m ist die Salzwüste von Uyuni mit 8.000 km2 die größte der Welt. Sie ist mit einer weißen Salzkruste bedeckt, die einige Meter dick und völlig flach ist. Die grün und hellblau gefärbten Gebiete sind von Sole bedeckt, einer konzentrierten Lösung von Salz in Wasser, die reich an Lithium ist. Die Becken zum Verdampfen und Konzentrieren der Sole, Teil des Lithiumgewinnungsprozesses, erscheinen in einem Gittermuster, 5 km von Norden nach Süden.
