Chinese scientists have also overcome significant technical difficulties in extracting lithium from the high-content mineral lepidolite. Previously, processing lepidolite was difficult and expensive.

Lithium is known as a critical material for a wide range of industries, including electric vehicles, energy storage, mobile communications, healthcare and nuclear power.

Let’s recall that a year ago it was reported that a vast lithium deposit had been discovered in China’s Sichuan province, with ore reserves reaching 1 million tons. It was noted then that it is the largest deposit of monomineral fractions of pegmatite-type lithium ore in Asia.
