Lithium carbonate is lithium salt of carbonate used widely in processing of metal oxides. Due to its low melting fluxes with silica and other materials it is an essential industrial chemical. Lithium carbonate is the first lithium compound that is extracted from the brines. It is the first compound in the production chain and is building block for other lithium derivatives. Lithium carbonate is used in various applications such as glass & ceramics, aluminum production, pharmaceuticals, and li-ion batteries. Lithium carbonate can be used for both battery grade and technical grade. It is primarily used in li-ion batteries due to improved specific capacity and power density. The advanced technology using lithium-sulfur and lithium-air technologies are used successfully to run portable devices and electric vehicles. The lithium ion and lithium polymer batteries are becoming most important source of power technology. Lithium is used to reduce the melting point of silica used in ovenware glass. In ceramics it is used to give color & shine. Lithium carbonate is also used in adhesives & cements to decrease the setting time.
Lithium carbonate is the largest derivative in the lithium compounds. The segment is growing at a CAGR of 9.06% between 2015 and 2020 in terms of volume. Lithium carbonate is mainly used in glass & ceramics due to low melting fluxes with silica and other materials. Lithium carbonate is used in number of medical application such as usage as a new solvent for stones in the bladder, treatment of bipolar disorder, anti-depressants etc.
Li-Ion Batteries is the largest market for lithium carbonate derivative segment. Existing battery applications comprise watches, cell phones, portable computers, wireless handheld devices, electronic games, calculators, video cameras and handheld power tools. Almost all cellular phones and laptop computers now include lithium batteries because of their advanced energy density and lighter weight than alternatives.
