It is a raw material for producing lithium compounds. It can be used as an electrolytic bath additive for aluminum smelting, which is widely used in glass, ceramics, medicine and food industries, and can also be used in synthetic rubber, dyes, semiconductors and defense industries.
Lithium carbonate industry is a global highly monopolistic industry, the current production capacity is mainly concentrated in the hands of SQM, FMC, Chemetall and other three foreign manufacturers. Lithium carbonate is used in the manufacture of other lithium salts, such as lithium chloride and lithium bromide. It is also used as a raw material for lithium oxide in enamel, glass, ceramic and enamel, and is also added to electrolytic cells for electrolytic aluminum production to increase current efficiency and reduce the internal resistance and temperature of the cell. In medicine is mainly used to treat mania, schizophrenia can improve its emotional disorders. It has the effect of elevating peripheral leukocyte.
High purity grade lithium carbonate is mainly used in the preparation of high-end lithium ion battery cathode materials and battery grade preparation; In terms of photoelectric information, high-purity lithium carbonate is used to prepare lithium tantalate and lithium niobate; At the same time, high-purity lithium carbonate is also used in optical special glass, magnetic material industry and supercapacitors, pharmaceutical industry, etc.
Raw materials for preparing various high-purity lithium salts; Raw materials containing lithium single crystals; Used in optical special glass, enamel industry, medicine, catalyst, color phosphor; Lithium ion battery materials.
