Downstream consumption of lithium carbonate

The downstream consumption of lithium carbonate mainly includes the application of industrial grade lithium carbonate and battery grade lithium carbonate in the market.

Industrial grade lithium carbonate, as an important industrial chemical, is widely used in industries such as batteries and metal oxides. Unlike sodium carbonate, which forms at least three hydrates, industrial grade lithium carbonate only exists in anhydrous form. Compared to other lithium salts, its solubility in water is very low. The lithium separated from the water extract of lithium ore can utilize this poor solubility. Lithium carbonate production line, pressure vessel, Jiangxi Zongheng Special Equipment Co., Ltd

Industrial grade lithium carbonate application:

1. As a raw material reagent for the synthesis of other lithium compounds;

2. Used for the production of ceramics and electrical insulating ceramics;

3. Manufacturing heat-resistant ceramic coatings for combustion chambers and nozzles used in jet engines;

4. As acid resistant coatings for glazes, enamels, aluminum, cast iron, and steel plates;

5. As a glass additive. Glass mixed with lithium carbonate has high strength, atmospheric resistance, and high;

6. As a flux for aluminum manufacturing (used to improve the productivity of electrolytic cells);

7. Used as a soldering flux for welding aluminum and magnesium;

8. As a part of the fireworks mixture;

9. Fuel cell;

10. As an additive in the cement industry, it improves the acceleration and rapid solidification process;

11. As an emotional stabilizer in psychiatry, it is mainly used to treat depression and depression; Materials such as lithium carbonate and silicon dioxide form low melting point fluxes.

The chemical purity of battery grade lithium carbonate is higher and contains fewer impurities, which can effectively ensure the performance of the battery. Battery grade lithium carbonate is mainly used to prepare positive electrode materials for lithium-ion batteries such as lithium cobalt oxide, lithium manganese oxide, ternary materials, and lithium iron phosphate. With the continuous development of the times and the increasingly tense energy situation, the use of batteries is increasing. As the main raw material in the battery industry, lithium carbonate, its market demand is also constantly increasing.
