Hydrometallurgical Process:
Hydrometallurgical Process:
-
Lithium is extracted from ores or brines using chemical solutions, usually involving leaching and precipitation techniques.
-
This process is often used for lithium-containing minerals such as spodumene and petalite.
-
The extracted lithium solution is purified through precipitation and solvent extraction to obtain high-purity lithium compounds.
03
Lithium Carbonate Precipitation:
-
Lithium-containing solutions, typically obtained from brine sources, are treated with reagents to precipitate lithium carbonate.
-
The precipitate is then separated, washed, and dried to produce lithium carbonate, a key precursor for lithium-ion battery cathodes.
04
Thermal Decomposition
-
Lithium-containing minerals are subjected to high-temperature processes, such as roasting or calcination, to convert them into lithium compounds.
-
The resulting materials are further processed to obtain lithium carbonate, lithium hydroxide, or other lithium compounds.
