EMH has announced the successful production of lithium hydroxide monohydrate from pregnant leach solution manufactured during the recent larger scale Cinovec pilot programme.
Highlights
The pilot programme has confirmed viability of the Lithium Chemical Plant ('LCP') process flowsheet for the industrial scale production of either lithium carbonate or lithium hydroxide.
Crude lithium carbonate from the pilot programme has been converted into exceptionally clean battery-grade lithium hydroxide monohydrate at laboratory scale.
The pilot programme processed ore is fully-representative in all respects of the run-of-mine for the first seven years of mining planned at Cinovec, including average grade and expected rock-type mix from the bulk mining.
The Cinovec LCP flowsheet produces a high purity lithium sulphate solution which is capable of being used to produce either lithium carbonate or lithium hydroxide. The first stage (un-reprocessed) crude lithium carbonate produced is very close to battery grade and easily upgraded to battery grade in a single bicarbonation step (see the Company's ASX/ AIM announcement of
The Cinovec LCP flowsheet lends itself to producing battery-grade lithium hydroxide monohydrate either directly, or indirectly via re-processing the first stage crude lithium carbonate. The project team has assessed the relative industrial process risks of manufacturing battery-grade lithium hydroxide monohydrate using both methods. It was concluded the indirect method was regarded as the lower-risk method, when considering process risks and costs.
This method of production of lithium hydroxide monohydrate has been tested as part of the pilot programme and has successfully produced battery-grade lithium hydroxide monohydrate at a laboratory scale.
