Lithium Ore Crusher
Lithium ore processing involves crushing, grinding, flotation, and leaching to extract lithium compounds like spodumene (LiAl(SiO₃)₂) or lithium brine salts. As a leader in mineral processing equipment, Liming Heavy Industry provides robust solutions for every stage.
1. Crushing & Primary Grinding
- Primary Crushing: Coarse lithium ore (e.g., spodumene pegmatites) is reduced to ≤150mm using PEW Series Jaw Crusher (feed size: ≤1500mm).
- Secondary Crushing: HPT Multi-Cylinder Hydraulic Cone Crusher finely crushes ore to ≤30mm for enhanced liberation.
- Advantage: High wear resistance and low energy consumption optimize TCO.
2. Grinding & Classification
- Fine Grinding: LM Vertical Roller Mill or MTW European Trapezium Mill pulverizes ore to 80–425 mesh (0.180–0.045mm) for flotation feed.
- Classification: YKN Vibrating Screen ensures precise particle sizing.
3. Flotation & Leaching
- Flotation separates lithium-bearing minerals (e.g., spodumene) using reagents. Liming’s HST Single Cylinder Hydraulic Cone Crusher prepares tailings for further recovery.
- For brine lithium, evaporation ponds require dewatering support from LUM Ultrafine Vertical Mill.
4. Tailings & Waste Management
- Dry stacking solutions with VU Dry Sand-Making System minimize environmental impact.
