Advanced solutions for effective for lithium production
Producing battery-grade lithium compounds requires tight control over impurity removal, pH management and reagent efficiency across complex brine and hard-rock flowsheets. Lime plays a central role in achieving that control.
At Lhoist, we support you across all major lithium feedstocks:
- Spodumene concentrates, treated via acidic roasting (H2SO4) or alkaline pressure leaching (Na2CO3)
- Lithium brines from salars, geothermal resources and oilfield operations
- Lithium rich clays, micas and borates
- Technical grade lithium carbonate
Our lime and quicklime products bring you measurable process advantages:
- Impurity removal (Mg, Si, Al, Fe) before lithium purification
- pH control in DLE (Direct Lithium Extraction) systems to maintain optimal adsorption or ion exchange performance
- Conversion of lithium carbonate to lithium hydroxide
- Effective flue gas treatment for HF, HCl, Hg and SO2 generated in high temperature roasting and calcination
By stabilizing process conditions, improving impurity control and enabling cleaner operations, we help you achieve higher yields, consistent purity and more efficient production.
