Extraction of lithium from ores requires a wide range of hydrometallurgical processes, in marked contrast to lithium extraction from brines (Flexer et al., 2018), which requires different upstream material inputs in the production process.
1) The document discusses various lithium extraction methods from its ores, including base exchange with alkali sulphates, roasting with lime, and the Lithium Corp process. 2) Base exchange processes involve heating finely ground ore with alkali sulphates like potassium sulfate, while roasting with lime mixes the ore with calcium oxide or …
The chlorination roasting-water leaching method also has a good performance in extracting lithium from muscovite ore. The study by Shan et al. (2013) shows that the best chlorination agent was the mixture of NaCl and CaCl 2, and the muscovite/NaCl/CaCl 2 mass ratio of 1.00: 0.25: 0.25. The extraction efficiency of …
