What is Lithium carbonate?


Lithium carbonate, is an inorganic compound, chemical formula Li2CO3, molecular weight of 73.89, colorless monoclinic series crystal, slightly soluble in water, dilute acid, insoluble in ethanol, acetone. The thermal stability is lower than that of the carbonate of other elements of the same group in the periodic table, which is not delirized in the air, and can be added with lithium sulfate or lithium oxide solution to sodium carbonate. Its aqueous solution can be converted into carbon dioxide into acid salt, boiling hydrolysis. Used as ceramics, glass, ferrite and other raw materials, components to spray silver paste, used in medicine to treat mental depression.

What is the production method of lithium carbonate?


Lithium is extracted from primarily two sources: spodumene in pegmatite deposits, and lithium salts in underground brine pools. About 82,000 tons were produced in 2022, showing significant and consistent growth.



What is the use of lithium carbonate ?


This medication is used to treat manic-depressive disorder (bipolar disorder). It works to stabilize the mood and reduce extremes in behavior by restoring the balance of certain natural substances (neurotransmitters) in the brain.Some of the benefits of continued use of this medication include decreasing how often manic episodes occur and decreasing the symptoms of manic episodes such as exaggerated feelings of well-being, feelings that others wish to harm you, irritability, anxiousness, rapid/loud speech, and aggressive/hostile behaviors.

What is the future development situation of lithium carbonate in 2022?


Lithium carbonate is the basis of lithium industry products, China is a country is rich in lithium resources, this for the demand of lithium carbonate supply is an advantage, with lithium carbonate in battery, medicine, glass and ceramic industry, many applications, lithium carbonate in aluminum industry, lubricants and other fields also plays an important role. Especially at present, the demand for lithium ion battery cathode materials, the demand for lithium carbonate is greatly increased, therefore, the future development of lithium carbonate industry will be related to the battery, automobile, energy and other industries.

Li2CO3 is the most important lithium salt among lithium compounds. China is extremely rich in lithium brine resources, accounting for 79% of the national lithium resource reserves, with extremely high potential economic value. The development and utilization of these resources is of great practical significance for meeting domestic requirements and promoting regional economic development.

With the expanding application scope of lithium products in the high-tech field, the demand for lithium salt at home and abroad is increasing day by day, and the requirements for product purity are also becoming higher and higher. Therefore, it is imperative to develop high-value-added and high-purity lithium salt products.

At present, we should seize the good opportunity of western development, make use of the advantage of rich lithium resources in western China, and accelerate the pace of deep work of lithium products. But at the same time, we should also pay attention to the sustainable development and comprehensive utilization of resources.
