Vue d'ensemble

Scope of the Report

Technical grade lithium concentrates range in lithium content from 4.1% to 7.5% Li2O but achieve additional specifications such as ultra-low levels of iron. Alkaline content for ceramics is also important with <1.0% combined K2O and N2O requested by many end-users. Technical grade lithium concentrates are higher in Li2O and lower in iron, and are primarily intended for the glass and ceramics markets.

Lithium concentrate is used in numerous applications which can be divided into two broad categories: chemical applications and technical applications. Currently, the largest global market for lithium is for use in glass and ceramics (technical applications). And the fastest growing (and second-largest) market for lithium globally is for use in batteries (chemical applications).
