Spodumene

The processing of lithium-containing minerals such as spodumene, in general, comprises crushing, wet grinding in a ball mill, sizing, gravity concentration, and flotation using a fatty acid (oleic acid) as the collector. The major lithium mineral in lithium ore is spodumene, which is considered insoluble in water and dilute acids.

Lithium Pegmatites – Is This the Right One?

One of the main sources for lithium is pegmatite crystals. A pegmatite is an igneous rock that is created underground when interlocking crystals form during the final stages of a magma chamber's cooling. The name pegmatite has nothing to do with the mineral composition of the rock, but rather describes a rock's physical structure.

Pegmatites are more expensive to process than brine, but typically have higher ore concentrations (0.60%). Lithium is also extracted from sedimentary rocks, including clays, which can have up to 0.7% concentrations, but this is a much less common form of deposit than brines or pegmatites (Gruber, 2011).
