Lithium. Lithium is an element valuable for the production of glass, aluminum products, and batteries. It is mined from ores of petalite LiAl(Si 2 O 5) 2, lepidolite K(Li,Al) 3 (Al,Si,Rb) 4 O 10 (F,OH) 2, spodumene LiAl(SiO 3) 2 and also subsurface brines. Australia and Chile are the world's largest producers of lithium.
Lithium production in China mainly depends on hard rock lithium ores, which has a defect in resources, environment, and economy compared with extracting lithium from brine. This paper focuses on the research progress of extracting lithium from spodumene, lepidolite, petalite, and zinnwaldite by acid, alkali, salt roasting, and chlorination ...
The escalating demand for lithium has intensified the need to process critical lithium ores into battery-grade materials efficiently. This review paper overviews the transformation processes and cost of converting critical …
Salar deposits hold the largest Li reserves, can reach up to 7 Mt Li, but are more difficult to exploit. Allowing for recycling, the current predicted demand up to the year 2100 is 20 Mt Li; world resources are currently estimated at more than 62 Mt Li. Thus, abundant resources exist, and no long-term shortage is predicted.
