Lithium Carbonate Production from Alpha Spodumene
Production Cost Report | Chemicals
Details: Germany - based plant Q1 2024 | From $ USD
This report thoroughly examines lithium carbonate production from alpha spodumene or triphane. The process involves the calcination of alpha spodumene to give beta spodumene, followed by sulphating beta spodumene, which is led by the leaching of lithium sulphate in water to give a pregnant leach solution. The pregnant leach solution is then subjected to an impurity removal step followed by the addition of sodium carbonate. The product thus formed is led to an ion exchange step for further purification, finally adding sodium carbonate to precipitate lithium carbonate.
