The core technology, raised the lithium recovery rate from the salt pan stage, where industry averages were below 50 percent, to over 78 percent. Furthermore, the overall lithium recovery rate across the entire production workshop surged from 75.38 percent to 90.41 percent.
The new production line represents a major advancement in processing lithium from salt lakes, a type of resource abundant in China but historically challenging to exploit efficiently due to high loss rates during traditional solar evaporation in salt pans.
The facility, built by Qinghai CITIC Guoan Technology Development Co., Ltd. in Northwest China's Qinghai province, has begun operating at target capacity.
