| Abstract Scope |
Lithium with increased usage in lithium-ion batteries to power portable electronic devices and electric vehicles has resulted in its global increasing demand for energy sources. Consequently, the treatment of a Lepidolite ore was investigated for lithium extraction and purification for considerable application in energy generation through combinations of sodium carbonate roasting and water leaching techniques. Various parameters such as ore : salt ratio, roasting temperature and reaction time on the extent of total lithium extraction were studied. Experimental results showed formation of various compounds as the roasting cum water leaching process proceeded. A yield of 91.2% lithium extraction efficiency was achieved and subsequently beneficiated to produce 99.1% pure Zabuyelite (Li2CO3 : 83-1454, m.p. 720 oC). The product as characterized could be used as precursor in lithium-ion batteries. |
