The major lithium ore is spodumene that occurs as large crystals of 4-10 cm, but can reach up to 30 cm, and is mainly light green, partly light pink or red. The total mineral resources are 1.3 Mt 1.08 wt Li2O with a cut-off value at 0.50 wt Li2O. 2.2. Lepidolite-rich pegmatite from Gon231alo Portugal

Jan 15, 2019nbsp018332Feldspar is a common occurrence in spodumene ores, and has applications in glass making. K-feldspar is a key component in the manufacturing of ceramic materials. Froth flotation is the main method used for the recovery of feldspar from lithium ores because its flotation properties are well understood Fuerstenau and Pradip, 2005.

In 2016, the countries with the largest lithium reserves worldwide were Chile 7.5 Mt, China 3.2 Mt, Argentina 2 Mt, Australia 1.6 Mt, Brazil 0.48 Mt, Portugal 0.06 Mt, United States 0.038 Mt and Zimbabwe 0.023 Mt. For the same considered year, the major countries in worldwide lithium mine production were Australia 14,300 t, Chile 12,000 t, Argentina 5,700 t, China 2,000 t, Zimbabwe 900 t, Portugal 200 t and Brazil 200 t data in metric tons of lithium content 12.

The main sources for lithium are brines and magmatic rocks rich in lithium silicate minerals andor phosphates. The most important rock deposits of lithium are granitic pegmatites and greisens. It has been estimated an average lithium content on Earths upper continental crust of 21 ppm 13, included in more than 20 minerals. However, just some of them occur in magmatic crystalline rocks and have commercialindustrial potential lepidolite, spodumene, petalite, amblygonite-montebrasite and zinnwaldit

The Lntt deposit consists of two main pegmatite dikes of a maximum thickness of about 10 m together with some nearby smaller parallel dykes at the contact between meta-volcanic rocks and schists. The dykes run NW-SE, and are almost vertical or dipping 70 to SE. The thickness of the overburden in the area averages 4 m, varying between nearly 0 and 7 m.

Norman and Gieseke 1940 investigated the treatment of lithium ores by froth flotation. The process of flotation of the pegmatite constituents away from the spodumene was applied commercially in 1951, and the operation has been described by Goter, Rainey and Hudspeth 1953.

The hand selection method is a sorting method based on the difference in color and appearance between lithium minerals and gangue minerals. The selective particle size is generally 10 to 25 mm, and the determination of the lower limit of the particle size depends on economic benefits. Hand selection is the earliest method of mineral processing used in the history of lithium mine production. In addition to spodumene, the hand selection is also used to pick lithium concentrates from lithionite, pe

The hand selection method has been generally replaced by flotation or other methods due to its high labor intensity, low production efficiency, and large waste of resources.

In the 1930s, flotation was applied to the industrial production of spodumene concentrate. There are two flotation processes of spodumene one is positive flotation and the other is reverse flotation.

1 The positive flotation that is preferential flotation of spodumene, the working principle ground fine ore in an alkaline medium formed by sodium hydroxide or sodium carbonate, after high concentration, strong agitation and multiple washing and de-sludge, the fatty acid or its soap is added as a collector to directly float the spodumene.

2 The reverse flotation process is to inhibit the spodumene in a lime-adjusted alkaline medium with dextrin and starch as a regulator, and use a cationic collector to float the silicate-like gangue mineral as a foam, and the product in the tank is It is a spodumene concentrate.
