Most lithium comes from brine and hard-rock deposits
Battery production favours lithium hydroxide from hard-rock
.
Lithium hard rock operations are
extremely efficient, with lithium found
in spodumene, a pyroxene mineral
consisting of lithium aluminium
inosilicate, LiAl(SiO3)2
The lithium hosted in spodumene can
be sustainably processed into either
lithium hydroxide or lithium carbonate
Lithium hydroxide is better for the
production of EV batteries with NCM
811 cathodes compared to lithium
carbonate produced from brines
Spodumene also typically hosts higher
Lithium content in comparison brines
