Lithium production in China mainly depends on hard rock lithium ores, which has a defect in
resources, environment, and economy compared with extracting lithium from brine. This …

With the rapid development of new energy devices, a large amount of spent lithium-ion
batteries (LIBs) are produced every year. Recovering valuable metals from spent LIBs is …

The end-of-life management of a large number of discarded lithium-ion batteries (LiBs) has
become a global issue because of the steady increase in their usage every year. In this …

Recently, the cost of lithium-ion batteries has risen as the price of lithium raw materials has
soared and fluctuated. Notably, the highest cost of lithium production comes from the …

The increasing global demand for lithium, driven by its critical role in battery technology and
nuclear applications, necessitates efficient and sustainable extraction methods. Lithium …

The present study has proposed a selective Li+ extraction process using a novel extractant
of dibenzo-14-crown-4 ether functionalized with an alkyl C16 chain (DB14C4–C16) …

In this study, lithium extraction from a Li-rich kaolin is performed by roasting with Na 2 SO 4
and water leaching. The thermal analysis of the Li-rich kaolin is characterized by TGA and …

Efficient magnesium-lithium separation is a critical step in extracting lithium ions from salt
lakes brine. Precipitation of Mg 2+ from liquid to solid is the simplest separation method, but …

Lithium hydroxide monohydrate (LiOH⋅ H 2 O) is a crucial precursor for the production of
lithium-ion battery cathode material. In this work, a process for LiOH⋅ H 2 O production …

The second recovery of rare earth elements from the bastnaesite-rich slags can effectively
alleviate their industry demand and achieve cleaner production, but it still remains unclear …
