The uneven distribution of mineral resources in the earth’s crust and the unequal concentration in brine and sea water reserves also causes lithium exploitation to be of critical importance.
Recovery of Lithium from Ore. US Patent No. 2983576. Novel process for the extraction of lithium from β-spodumene by leaching with HF Extraction of lithium from neutral salt solutions with fluorinated β-diketones J. Inorg.
The commercial processes for lithium exploitation from brine are not much different from the technologies discussed in the preceding section. A commercialized process of Outotec Ltd. ( Fig. 16) in Australia and China involves solar evaporation to concentrate the lithium up to 6–7% from brine solutions ( Outotec, 2013 ).
Many resources, such as spent batteries, sea water and clay, are yet to be commercialized for lithium production, which places pressure on the current methodologies for exploitable resources. In minerals, spodumene is the main source, which has a high energy requirement to convert lithium to a leachable phase.
The commercialized practice in lithium (salt/s) production includes the processing of minerals and brines. A large reserve of lithium exists in ocean/sea water, and the processing of hydrothermal water and end-of-life LIBs accounts for future reservoirs (yet to be commercialized for lithium production).
