The Flotation Process of Lepidolite in Jiangxi Province in China

Article Preview

Abstract:

Because of the extraction difficulties from brines in China, it is necessary to take advantage of the lepidolite resources, driven by the huge economic benefit and social benefit requirements. Several factories use refined lepidolite to produce lithium carbonate in Yichun city because of the rare metals and high price of battery-grade lithium carbonate. The primary separation of lepidolite from complex silicate minerals is froth flotation. In this paper, the froth flotation process for production of refined lepidolite from Ta & Nb waste minerals in Yichun city and in Yifeng town is discussed.
