Semi-Industrial Scale Preliminary Test of Silicon Thermal Reduction Lithium with Internal Thermal Resistance Furnace

Article Preview

Abstract:

With the development of vacuum technology and the demand of lithium increasing rapidly all over the world, vacuum thermal extraction lithium will be applied widely in future. A new internal thermal resistance furnace for lithium smelting was designed, which can be used for the thermal decomposition of Li2CO3 and reduction of Li2O. The production capacity is 7.5kg lithium per test. Semi-industrial scale preliminary test was researched in the internal thermal resistance furnace. The results show that the decomposition efficiency of lithium carbonate can be above 98%, the calcined product meets the requirement of reduction lithium. But the lithium reduction rate is 63.86%, which is below the reduction rate of basis experiment, so the design of crystallizer and technological process should be improved.
