Australia’s Spodumene: Advances in Lithium Extraction
2024.1.25 Abstract. Among all of the lithium-bearing minerals, spodumene possesses the highest theoretical lithium abundance. Since the 1990s, Australia, with the world’s largest spodumene (LiAl (SiO 3) 2) reserves, has been producing lithium as a mineral concentrate rather than a refined product.

Selective and efficient extraction of lithium from spodumene
2024.4.5 Li + ions are relatively stable in this structure and exhibit high chemical inertness, making it challenging to directly extract lithium from α-spodumene with nitric acid. As a result, it is necessary to subject α-spodumene to roasting and convert it into the β-phase before it can enter the autoclave (Wang et al., 1987).
