The lithium market has been a strategic focus for many companies, as the demand for this essential mineral has grown exponentially due to the increased production of lithium-ion batteries used in electric vehicles and electronic devices.
While most mines can only supply ore with low lithium concentration, under the form of Lithium Oxide to be further processed, TECSTART offer ORE WITH HIGH CONCENTRATION OF LITHIUM CARBONATE that can be easily and economically processed into metallic lithium.
Lithium Carbonate (Li₂CO₃)
It is one of the most widely used forms of lithium in the industry due to its solubility in water and ability to react with other compounds. It is extensively employed in the production of lithium-ion batteries, psychotropic medications, special glasses, and lubricating greases.
The lithium concentration in the Zabuyelita ore ranges from 8% to 12%, with lithium carbonate extraction reaching 40% to 60% from this concentration.
What is the required in industry
⇔ 10% Metallic Li after extraction
In general, the international lithium market currently operates with ores classified as having an average elemental lithium (Li) content ranging from 1.9% to 2.5%.
According to the latest analyses conducted by Laboratórios, the ore from Zabuyelita presents exceptionally rare and high-grade concentrations, with samples showing values above 12.00% mettalic lithium. When applying chemical phase distribution calculations, this corresponds to over 50% lithium carbonate content within the mineral, significantly surpassing the average grades observed in current global operations.
These results reinforce the strong potential of our lithium source, both in terms of concentration and market competitiveness.
