Lithium, as a critical strategic metal, plays an indispensable role in modern industry, especially in the new energy sector. The widespread application of lithium-ion batteries has led to explosive growth in demand for lithium. Lepidolite serves as a significant raw material for extracting metallic lithium. However, the beneficiation of lepidolite is challenging due to its complex nature. Flotation, commonly used in lithium ore processing, plays a crucial role in lepidolite beneficiation. This article provides a detailed introduction to the flotation process of lepidolite.Details>>
In the process of lithium mica beneficiation, flotation agents play a vital role.

Common lithium mica flotation agents mainly include collectors, regulators and inhibitors. The following will introduce the functions and characteristics of various agents in detail.Details>>
Petalite is an important lithium-bearing mineral with a monoclinic crystal structure, typically appearing as white, gray, or colorless massive crystals. As a significant lithium resource, petalite exhibits unique physicochemical properties, demonstrating low solubility in both acidic and alkaline conditions. In nature, petalite often coexists with spodumene due to similar geological formation conditions. However, differences in crystal structure and surface properties result in lower floatability for petalite compared to spodumene, making their separation challenging. Since spodumene has better floatability, it is typically extracted via flotation first, followed by integrated processes to effectively separate the minerals, yielding spodumene concentrate and petalite concentrate. Below, we learn about the petalite flotation method.Details>>
Lithium amblygonite is an important lithium-bearing mineral with a chemical composition containing phosphate, lithium, aluminum, and silicon. It has a relatively high lithium content and holds critical value in modern technology and energy sectors, particularly in lithium-ion battery manufacturing. With a Mohs hardness of 6-7, lithium amblygonite exhibits diverse crystal forms, often appearing as massive or granular structures. Its color ranges from light pink to deep red or brown. It is frequently associated with aluminum-bearing minerals such as apatite and diopside. Due to its properties, flotation is a commonly used and effective beneficiation method for lithium amblygonite. This article introduces the Flotation Method of Lithium Amblygonite, including its processes and reagents.Details>>
Spodumene is a silicate mineral with a monoclinic system and a chain structure. As one of the key sources of lithium, it occupies an important position in the industrial field. Spodumene flotation is based on the differences in the surface physical and chemical properties of spodumene and gangue minerals. By accurately adding flotation reagents to the slurry, spodumene is selectively adhered to the bubbles, and finally a mineral processing process is achieved that is efficiently separated from the gangue minerals. In this process, factors such as the wettability and charge characteristics of the mineral surface play a key role, and the type and dosage of flotation reagents are the core elements for regulating the flotation effect. Let us introduce spodumene flotation methods, reagents and equipment together.Details>>
Lepidolite is one of the main sources of lithium extraction. At present, the commonly used lepidolite beneficiation method is mainly flotation. The crushing and grinding processes in the process will produce ore slime, which affects the flotation effect of lithium. The usual desliming flotation process of lepidolite is weak in the treatment of ore slime, resulting in waste of lepidolite. This article will introduce you to a lepidolite flotation technology without desliming.Details>>
Lepidolite is a common lithium-containing mineral with plate-shaped crystals. It belongs to the mica class and is an important raw material for extracting metallic lithium. Lepidolite cannot dissolve in acid, but it can react with acid after melting. Foam appears during the melting process accompanied by a deep red lithium flame. In terms of beneficiation, the lithium extraction process from lepidolite mainly includes: crushing, grinding, impurity removal, sorting, filtering and other aspects.Details>>
New energy vehicles are experiencing explosive growth, and lithium resources, as the core material of new energy batteries, are also rising in price. In order to manufacture lithium batteries, lithium ore needs to undergo a complex beneficiation process first. At present, common lithium extraction technologies include hand selection, flotation, combined method, magnetic separation, thermal cracking, radioactive separation, and particle flotation. In actual production, hand selection, flotation, and combined methods are more common.Details>>

Lithium is an important raw material for energy development. With the rise of new energy, the development of lithium ore resources has ushered in a boom. Common lithium resources are mainly pegmatite lithium and brine lithium. Among them, brine lithium is difficult to develop. Therefore, the development focus is on pegmatite. Pegmatite lithium ore resources can be divided into spodumene, lepidolite, petalite, lithium aluminum phosphate and iron lithium mica. However, spodumene and lepidolite are the main sources of lithium through technical means. Let's introduce the beneficiation methods of spodumene and lepidolite.Details>>
As the main raw material for the development of new energy, lithium is in increasing demand, and lithium ore dressing technology has also developed rapidly. Different lithium ores have different properties, and the content of lithium oxide in the minerals is low and the mineral composition is different, so the lithium ore dressing methods are also different. The following mainly introduces several common lithium ore dressing methods and lithium ore dressing equipment.Details>>
