- Publish Date: Upcoming
Lithium is the third and lightest of all the elements in the periodic table and is a soft, silvery-white alkali metal. Lithium does not occur as a pure element in nature, it is enclosed within stable minerals in a range of hard rock types or in solution in brine bodies within salt lakes. In sea water or geothermal brines. 20 parts per million of lithium is found in Earth’s crust and 0.17 parts per million is contained by oceans.
Lithium metal has many modern day industrial uses. The most prominent and fastest growing application is Li-Ion Battery used in electric cars and combo cars. The other application includes Medical, Metallurgy, Polymers and Others. The end-use application of the Lithium metal includes cell phones, include continuous casting, air treatment, polymers, pharmaceuticals, smartphones, tablets, electric cars, scooter, electric bikes, buses, forklifts, laptop computers, power tools, and many other mobile consumer devices. The emerging application of Lithium includes grid energy storage, solar and nuclear energy generation, and other industrial uses.
The global lithium production is composed for sustained growth in the years ahead. Polymers followed by li-ion batteries application are expected to be the largest contributor to the future growth in the global lithium market through 2020. Between 2015 and 2020, the overall lithium consumption will likely post 11.93% YoY growth in terms of volume. Chile and Australia are the largest producers of lithium followed by China, Argentina, Zimbabwe and U.S.A among others.
The properties of Lithium metals like extremely high co-efficient of thermal expansions, fluxing and catalytic characteristics, acts as viscosity modifier in glass metals, highest electrochemical potential of all chemicals etc. makes it the most preferred element for application like batteries, lubricating grease, air conditioning, metallurgy, medical, aluminum, polymers and others.

Lithium Concentrate Lithium mineral ore is subjected to separation processes for upgrading the lithium content and removing waste materials. Different separation processes produce concentrates with differential content of lithium. These can be used in chemical-grade and technical-grade applications. Chemical-grade lithium concentrates are most widely used in lithium batteries. Apart from their use in lithium batteries, chemical-grade lithium concentrates have other applications. It is used in lubricants as a thickener in grease. In aluminum smelting, it is used for reducing power usage and increasing electrical conductivity. |
