Distribution law of Lithium and its influencing factors in Shuijiangbanqiao bauxite mining area,Southern Chongqing

Based on the study of the bauxite and Scandium of Shuijiangbanqiao mine in Southern Chongqing,the Al₂O₃ was found distribute mainly in the upper and middle-upper layers,the main type of bauxite are pisolitic,olitic structures and massive structures.The Lithium was found distributed mainly in the upper and middle-upper layers,the main type of bauxite is massive bauxite.Lithium is changing from 200 to 1400×10^-6 and average in 830.23×10^-6.The content of Lithium which is higher in Aluminum clay than in bauxite.The average of correlation coefficient r=0.820between Lithium and Al₂O₃,it is a severe plus correlation.The average of correlation coefficient r=-0.653between Lithium and SiO₂,it is a moderate negative correlation.The average of correlation coefficient r=0.885between Lithium and A/S,it is a severe plus correlation.The seam of Li was affected by horizons,the impact of ore types,southern Chingqing, China.
