Progress and application of mineral processing technology of hard rock lithium ores

This paper introduces the types of hard rock lithium ores, summarizes the mineral processing and key technologies of common hard rock lithium ores. The use of manual processing, heavy medium processing, flotation, magnetic separation, and combined mineral processing can effectively recover lithium containing minerals such as spodumene, lepidolite, and lithium feldspar. This paper also elaborates on practical engineering cases and key technologies applied in mineral processing.
