Abstract: The carbothermal reduction process of spodumene ore effectively separates Al and Si components from spodumene ore while also extracting lithium (Li). The high value-added sputum heat reduction process of spodumene ore was proposed. Fe 2O 3 was used as an auxiliary agent. Si is combined with Fe to form Si-Fe alloy and Al is enriched in the

Lithium cycle in nature from the occurrences of ore deposits, their exploration, chemical characterization ... Geothermal fields where high concentrations of lithium, in Puga Valley, Kashmir, India were …
In step 1, to convert spodumene into lithium sulfate (Li 2 SO 4), the raw ore is crushed and separated both mechanically and via floatation.Next, the concentrate undergoes energy- and chemically intensive hot acid-roasting. This process (as shown in Figure 1 below) sees concentrated spodumene powder roasted at 1050°C, cooled, …
The ore sample is an unsorted spodumene raw ore. The chemical composition was shown in Table 1. The XRD patterns of the raw material was displayed in Fig. 1. It reveals that the sample is primarily constituted of α-spodumene, quartz and albite, with a few microclines.
Spodumene is a lithium aluminosilicate that belongs to the pyroxene family of minerals. Spodumene has the chemical formula LiAlSi 2 O 6. It is the most abundant lithium ore. Discovery. Spodumene was first discovered around the year 1800 by the Brazilian scientist Jose Binifacio de Andrada e Silva while in Sweden. اقرأ أكثر

Among all of the lithium-bearing minerals, spodumene possesses the highest theoretical lithium abundance. Since the 1990s, Australia, with the world's largest spodumene (LiAl(SiO3)2) reserves, has been producing lithium as a mineral concentrate rather than a refined product. Nevertheless, the country is now moving forward to fortify …
