P2O5–Pb3O4–ZnO–Li2CO3–CuO glasses and their radiation attenuation properties for shielding applications

Preparation of Battery Grade Li2CO3from Defective Product by the Carbonation‐Decomposition Method

“…[ 6,7 ] Meanwhile, other applications of Li 2 CO 3 include catalyst for preparation of carbon nanostructures [ 8–10 ] and the preparation of high‐performance glasses. [ 11,12 ] Generally, the lithium resource recovery techniques have two main alternative methods are utilized: converting the lithium minerals, such as spodumene (Li 2 O•Al 2 O 3 •4SiO 2 ), containing 5.8–8.1 wt% Li 2 O, and lepidolite (K (Li, Al) 3 (Si, Al) 4 O (F, OH) 2 ), containing 3.2%‐6.45 wt% Li 2 O, into soluble forms and following by acid or water leaching of the obtained products [ 13–17 ] or extracting from salar brines, which contain 0.06–0.15% Li. [ 18–23 ] Notably, lithium‐bearing minerals and Li‐bearing brines usually contain impurities like SO 4 2− , K + , Na + , Mg 2+ , Ca 2+ , Fe 3+ , and Cl − , etc.…”
