Abstract

Due to its different properties (low electrode potential and specific heat capacity), lithium is widely used in many industries (battery, ceramic and glass industry, lubricating greases, polymer, metallurgy, air treatment). In recent years, due to the developing technology, the demand for lithium has increased with its use in new fields (electric vehicles, grid storage). Therefore, lithium has been included in the critical raw materials list by the European Union Commission. Lithium production is mostly carried out from brines and ores (i.e. such as spodumen, lepidolite, zinvaldite, ambligonite, pedalite). Also, in resent years, it is produced from secondary sources such as lithium ion batteries. Lithium recovery from ores or concentrates such as spodumen is commonly accomplished by the sulfuric acid/roasting process. In this study, the importance of lithium as a critical raw material, resource potential of lithium in the world and Turkey, and industrial processes for production of lithium from ores/brines are reviewed in detail. Previous studies on the recovery of lithium from ores and brines are discussed. In addition, process flowsheets of various industrial plants for the recovery of lityum in the world are presented.

从矿石和卤水中回收锂

由于其不同的性质（低电极电位和比热容），锂被广泛应用于许多行业（电池、陶瓷和玻璃行业、润滑脂、聚合物、冶金、空气处理）。近年来，由于技术的发展，对锂的需求随着其在新领域（电动汽车、电网存储）的使用而增加。因此，锂已被欧盟委员会列入关键原材料清单。锂的生产主要来自卤水和矿石（如锂辉石、锂云母、锌钒石、安锂云母、踏板石）。此外，近年来，它是由锂离子电池等二次来源生产的。从矿石或精矿（如锂辉石）中回收锂通常通过硫酸/焙烧工艺完成。在本研究中，详细回顾了锂作为关键原材料的重要性、锂在世界和土耳其的资源潜力，以及从矿石/盐水生产锂的工业工艺。对以往从矿石和卤水中回收锂的研究进行了讨论。此外，还介绍了世界上回收百胜的各种工业装置的工艺流程。

期刊介绍： Scientific Mining Journal, which is published i n open access electronic environment and i n printed, is a periodical scientific journal of Union of Chambers of Turkish Engineers and Architects Chamber of Mining Engineers. The name of the journal was "Mining" until June 2016 and it has been changed to "Scientific Mining Journal" since September 2016 because it can be confused with popular journals with similar names and the ISSN number has been updated from 0024-9416 to 2564-7024. Scientific Mining Journal, published four times a year (March-June-September-December), aims to disseminate original scientific studies which are conducted according to the scientific norms and publication ethics at national and international scale, to scientists, mining engineers, the public; and thus to share scientific knowledge with society. The journal is in both Turkish and English. The journal covers theoretical, experimental, and applied research articles, which reflects the findings and results of an original research i n the field of mining engineering; review articles, which assess, evaluates, and interprets the findings of a comprehensive review of sufficient number of scientific articles and summarize them at present information and technology level; technical notes, which may be defined as a short article that describes a novel methodology o r technique; a case studies, which are based on the theoretical o r real professional practice and involves systematic data collection and analysis.
