Several methods have been developed to separate lithium from brines, including: calcined leaching 56, adsorption 57, precipitation 58, nanofiltration 59, electrolysis 60 and solvent extraction 61 ...

The process involved roasting a predetermined amount of lithium-mica concentrate with either gypsum, limestone or sodium sulphate at various temperatures and subsequently leaching the pulverised materials in water at 85oC. A lithium extraction efficiency of about 84% was obtained using gypsum at 1050oC while rubidium extraction was very low at 14%.

Generally, lithium present in clays can be recovered using the processes of roasting with gypsum and limestone followed by selective chlorination, or limestone-gypsum roasting then water leaching. The conventional acid leaching method for processing pegmatites can also be employed in the lithium extraction process from clays.

Rare earth-bearing gypsum tailings from the fertilizer industry are a potential source for an economically viable and sustainable production of rare earth elements. Large quantities are generated inter alia in Catalão, Brazil, as a by-product in a fertilizer production plant. Hitherto, the gypsum has been used as soil conditioner in agriculture or was dumped. …

Lithium extraction from primary resources such as ores/minerals (spodumene, petalite and lepidolite) by acid, alkaline and chlorination processes and from brines by adsorption, precipitation and ion exchange processes, is critically examined. Problems associated with the exploitation of other resources such as bitterns and seawater are highlighted.

The calcines were allowed to cool and were then water-leached to determine lithium extraction. A 5:3:3 mix was found to be optimum (table 14); lithium extraction from this mix was 90 pct. Extraction of potassium, sodium, and fluorine from the same mix was 95, 85, and 2 pct, respectively. Lithium extraction from clay roasted alone was only …

Zelikman AN et al. (1966) studied the calcination of potassium sulfate and α-spodumene to extract lithium. However, this method has the disadvantage of the high cost of potassium sulfate and lithium products polluted by potassium (Zhu ZH et al., 2008). Replacing part of potassium sulfate with sodium sulfate can reduce the cost of this method.

Abstract. Key factors controlling the extraction of lithium from a lepidolite concentrate (2.55% Li) using a two-stage process based on roasting with Na 2 SO 4 and water leaching were determined in this study. HSC software was used to predict lepidolite decomposition characteristics and products yielded from roasting.

Lithium-rich clay is a potential lithium resource. In this work, a novel, green, and efficient leaching process using a ferric salt solution was demonstrated for lithium extraction from calcined lithium-rich clay samples. Calcination treatment of Li-bearing clay was necessary for subsequent lithium extraction.
