Description
The global transition to sustainable energy demands validation of unconventional lithium reservoirs, particularly pyrite (FeS₂) within organic-rich black shales (Bhattacharya et al., 2024). This study proposes the application of Synchrotron X-ray Fluorescence (XRF), an accelerator-based, high-resolution materials characterization technique, to investigate sediment-hosted lithium enrichment in the Makum Coalfield and surrounding formations of Upper Assam, North-East India (Misra ,1992).Building on evidence that lithium substitutes for Fe²⁺ or occupies vacancy sites within framboidal pyrite, Synchrotron XRF will generate precise spectroscopic data to confirm the measurable lithium concentration and its binding mechanism in this regional geological setting. The research aims to establish a strong experimental and theoretical foundation using accelerator science, thereby advancing materials science and supporting national efforts toward sustainable energy resource assessment.
