Lithium
Lithium is an
element valuable for the production of glass, aluminum products,
and batteries. It is mined from ores of petalite
LiAl(Si2O5)2,
lepidolite K(Li,Al)3(Al,Si,Rb)4O*0(F,OH)2,
spodumene LiAl(SiO3)2Â and
also subsurface brines. Australia and Chile are the worlds largest
producers of lithium.

Relation to Mining
Lithium is an element valuable for the production of glass,
aluminum products, and batteries. It is mined from ores of
petalite (LiAl(Si2O5)2,
lepidolite K(Li,Al)3(Al,Si,Rb)4O*0(F,OH)2,

also subsurface brines. Australia and Chile are the worlds largest
producers of lithium.
Mining for Lithium:
Lithium is often
recovered from brine, or water with a high concentration of lithium
carbonate. Subsurface brines trapped in the Earths crust are a
major source material for lithium carbonate. These sources are less
expensive to mine than from rock such as spodumene, petalite, and
other lithium-bearing minerals.
Brine production of lithium begins by first pumping the brine into evaporative ponds. Over *2 to *8 months, concentration of the brine increases to 6,**0 ppm Li through solar evaporation. When the lithium chloride reaches optimum concentration, the liquid is pumped to a recovery plant and treated with soda ash, precipitating lithium carbonate, which is then filtrated, dried, and shipped.
Uses
Lithium compounds are used in ceramics and glass, in primary
aluminum production, in the manufacture of lubricants and
greases, rocket propellants, vitamin A synthesis, silver solders,
underwater buoyancy devices, and increasingly in batteries.
Lithium
batteries are proving to be an effective and affordable
alternative to traditional batteries, and also used in new
battery applications. More than *0% of lithium mined is
used in batteries. This use has recently increased rapidly
spurring an increase in lithium mining to provide the lithium for
batteries.
Lithium is mixed with other light metals such as aluminum and
magnesium to form strong, light-weight alloys (an alloy is a
mixture of metals).
Some lithium, in the form of lithium carbonate or lithium
citrate, is used as medicine to treat gout (an inflammation of
joints) and to treat serious mental illness.
