Abstract

There is a low grade lithium in a sedimentary clay-type lithium resource in central Yunnan, which has certain utilization value. In this paper, mineral liberation analyser was used to conduct process mineralogy research on the mineral, and the results show that the main minerals are kaolinite, illite, magnetite, limonite, etc. Due to the current new energy policy in China, a large amount of lithium is urgently needed. Although the grade of Li is also low, which can be considered for recovery in the future. When the fineness is 100% -0.074 mm, the dissociation degrees of all minerals are not high, especially the dissociation degrees of magnetite, limonite and chlorite are not more than 50%, and the dissociation, binary symbiosis and ternary inclusion of all minerals are complicated. Subsequently, lithium ions in the solution can be obtained by leaching under acidic conditions, which can be used to produce lithium carbonate or lithium hydroxide.
