LITHIUM: GLOBAL RESERVES AND APPLICATION PROSPECTS
https://doi.org/10.15518/isjaee.2016.13-14.072-088
Abstract
The present review is dedicated to the world's lithium resources, and application areas of lithium and its compounds in everyday life and technology. The paper reviews of the world's largest lithium deposits and analyzes its global production and reserves. The estimates of reserves were made on the basis of information received from government and industry sources. Due to the market development of lithium power sources, the secondary resources become the most promising ones. Furthermore, the paper demonstrates the necessity of creation of processes for recycling of spent lithium power sources. In connection with rapid growth in lithium consumption, it is very urgent task of lithium extracting, and its production in the form of salts, and metal. The paper describes the modern sorption methods of lithium extraction from the poor composition natural waters and brines with the use of inorganic ion exchangers highly selective to lithium. We present the results of their tests on real natural brines. Particular attention is given to the review o f the lithium and its compounds application areas: lithium power sources; glass and ceramics; lubricants, regeneration of oxygen in the autonomous life support systems, production of polymeric materials and catalysts in chemical technology, metallurgy, pharmaceuticals, medicine, moreover, hydrogen energy, electronics and nonlinear optics, nuclear power, and used as rocket fuel. In the article, we provide an overview of p rices and demand for lithium and its compounds.
