THERMODYNAMIC ANALYSIS OF LITHIUM ORE PROCESSING PROCESSES
Article Sidebar
Main Article Content
Abstract
The article presents a thermodynamic analysis of lithium ore processing methods. Increasing demand for lithium in energy and automotive sectors necessitates technological advancements in lithium extraction from ores. The study provides thermodynamic analysis results for sulfation, hydrometallurgy, and chlorination of lithium-bearing ores, such as spodumene. The potential to obtain Li2SO4 and Li2CO3 through processes involving sodium sulfate, sodium carbonate, and chlorides is demonstrated.
