Jun 01, 2012 The most important processes for the extraction of lithium from lepidolite are the sulfuric acid and the lime methods (Distin and Phillips, 1982). However, the extraction of lithium by sulfate acid method uses high concentration acid and the purification procedure is complex. The lime process uses limestone and requires a large amount of energy.

Introduction Lithium (Li), the lightest metal in nature, has unique electrochemical properties and the highest specific heat of the solid elements. Moreover, some lithium compounds possess flat
ContactJul 18, 2012 The lithium extraction efficiency of 91.61% could be reached with a mass ratio of lepidolite/Na 2 SO 4 /K 2 SO 4 /CaO of 1:0.5:0.1:0.1, and roasting at 850 °C for 0.5 h. XRD analysis showed that sulfation roasting caused the decompositions of the original aluminosilicate to NaSi 3 AlO 8,KAlSi 2 O 6 and CaAl 2 Si 2 O 8 .
ContactMixed grinding with Na2S followed by water leaching was performed to extract Li from lepidolite. The leachability of Li increases dramatically in the ground mixture, regardless of the mixing ratio over the range of 1:1 to 3:1, while only 4.53% of Li was extracted in lepidolite ground without Na2S. The leachability increased with an increase of the grinding time, and ultimately, 93% of the Li
ContactAbstract Sulfation roasting followed by water leaching process was used to extract lithium from lepidolite. Various parameters including roasting temperature, the amount of additions, and solid/liquid ratio in leaching process were optimized. The lithium extraction efficiency of 91.61% could be reached with a mass ratio of lepidolite/Na 2 SO 4 /K 2 SO 4 /CaO of 1:0.5:0.1:0.1, and roasting at
