Lithium Extraction from Lepidolite - Crushing Process
The lepidolite raw ore is sent to the crushing workshop by a mine truck. According to the analysis of the characteristics of spodumene, the commonly used crushing process is generally two-stage closed-circuit crushing or three-stage crushing process.

Lithium extraction from lepidolite - grinding process
Generally, one-stage grinding and classification or two-stage grinding and classification can be used in the grinding stage of lepidolite extraction of lithium. Generally, the grinding particle size reaches -0.074mm, accounting for 70%~80%, which is better, depending on the actual beneficiation standard.

Lithium extraction from lepidolite - impurity removal process
The lepidolite impurity removal process is mainly to remove iron-containing impurities, so the recovery process is generally completed by magnetic separation equipment, mainly based on weak magnetic separation, to remove most of the impurities containing strong magnets.

Lithium extraction from lepidolite - sorting process
In the lithium separation stage of lepidolite extraction, the combined separation method is generally used. As shown in the figure above, the combined separation process of gravity separation-magnetic separation-flotation is adopted.

Among them, the re-selection part adopts the sorting method of screw drop + shaker to select qualified lepidolite ore, and then adopts a medium magnetic - a strong magnetic method to remove Han Ni and iron impurities again, and the obtained lepidolite crude Concentrate is undergoing flotation process to obtain qualified lepidolite concentrate.

Lithium Extraction from Lepidolite - Filtration Process
The filtration process of extracting lithium from lepidolite mainly uses various dehydration filtration equipment to concentrate and dehydrate the hydrous lithium concentrate obtained after flotation to reduce the water content. The defiltration method of high-efficiency thickener + chamber filter press is mostly used to make the final water content as low as 15%.

Lepidolite is a common lithium-containing mineral with plate-like crystals. It belongs to mica minerals and is an important raw material for refining lithium metal. Lepidolite cannot be dissolved in acid, but it can react with acid after melting, and foam appears during the melting process, accompanied by a deep red lithium flame. In terms of beneficiation, the lithium extraction process of lepidolite is mainly reflected in several aspects such as crushing, grinding, impurity removal, separation, and filtration. Let's find out together.
