Abstract

Se proporciona un proceso para producir litio directamente a partir de una solución de alimentación de litio seleccionada del grupo que consiste en salmuera de cloruro de litio, licor de espodumena de sulfato de litio, hidróxido de litio y una combinación de los mismos. La solución de alimentación de litio se proporciona en una celda de electrólisis que comprende un cátodo adecuado para la electrólisis de litio y un ánodo. Se proporciona una corriente eléctrica ionizante a la celda de electrólisis, proporcionando así el metal de litio en el cátodo. El presente proceso puede agilizar ventajosamente el proceso de producción de litio, reducir los costos operativos y/o mejorar la eficiencia de energía en la producción de litio.A process is provided for producing lithium directly from a lithium feed solution selected from the group consisting of lithium chloride brine, lithium sulfate spodumene liquor, lithium hydroxide, and a combination thereof. The lithium feed solution is provided in an electrolysis cell comprising a cathode suitable for lithium electrolysis and an anode. An ionizing electrical current is provided to the electrolysis cell, thus providing the lithium metal at the cathode. The present process can advantageously streamline the lithium production process, reduce operating costs, and / or improve energy efficiency in lithium production.
