Material
Cínovec gypsum-method mother liquor
The solution remaining after lithium carbonate has been precipitated: the OTHER output of the precipitation stage, which the route recorded as producing only the carbonate. The source characterises it and states that its own continuation would address recovering lithium from it, which is the clearest sign that what leaves in this stream is not nothing.

What Lithoen records
Each claim states how it is known and cites its evidence.
Establishedthe mother liquors remaining after lithium carbonate precipitation, as the source’s Table 2 reports them: Li 3,221 mg/l, Rb 1,460 mg/l, K 55,600 mg/l, Ca 4 mg/l, Na 982 mg/l
Measured at this deposit
The solution left behind after the lithium carbonate was precipitated still carries lithium at 3221 mg/l, with rubidium and potassium higher than in the liquor it came from. The source states the total efficiency of the precipitation as about 73 per cent and that its own continuation would address recovering lithium from these mother liquors. What that says about how much lithium leaves in this stream is a question of mass and this corpus has no volume for either solution, so it asks it and does not answer it.
