    Now english is not my first language, but “reactor grabs 97.5% of lithium from geothermal sources” and “…it achieved a lithium purity rate of 97.5%.” do not sound like the same thing.

      Yeah, English might be the author’s first language but I’m not sure they have an editor. It helps to have a second person read what you write! One I caught: “largely driven by the continued adaptation of electric cars.” I am 99% sure the correct word there would be “adoption,” not “adaptation.”
