Lithium Salts

Lithium salts are produced from spodumene ore, from pre-concentrated natural brines, or recovered by concentration of wastewater.

Multiple Effect Evaporator (MEE)

Mechanical Vapour Recompression (MVR)

Thermal Vapour Recompression (TVR)

Flash Evaporation / Crystallisation

Rising Film Evaporator

Forced Circulation Evaporator / Crystalliser (FC)

Value

  • Fractional Crystallisation reduces precipitation reagents
  • Reduction of CO₂ footprint 
  • Generation of clean water 
  • High purity product
  • Possibility to utilize renewable energies

Process

  • The method of production depends on the solubility of the salt
  • Evaporative or reaction crystallisation
  • All types of crystallisation equipment may be employed 
  • Centrifuges or filters are utilised for separation of the product crystals
  • Upgrade product quality through recrystallisation
