The melting temperatures of lithium and potassium carbonates are 723 °C and 891 °C, respectively. Two different eutectic points are observed for 42% and 62% mole Li 2 CO 3. According to Janz and Lorenz , the melting point of the K 2 CO 3 –Li 2 CO 3 (58-42 mol%) eutectic is 498 °C, and 488 °C for the K 2 CO 3 –Li 2 CO 3 (38–62 mol%) eutectic.
Lithium is a critical material for the energy transition. Its chemical properties, as the lightest metal, are unique and sought after in the manufacture of batteries for mobile applications. Total worldwide lithium production in 2020 was 82 000 tonnes, or 436 000 tonnes of lithium carbonate equivalent (LCE) (USGS, 2021).
In most cases, lithium carbonate is used as a precursor to lithium hydroxide, which requires an extra processing step that is reflected in its relatively higher price. Although capital-intensive, the cost diferential between chemical and concentrate plants is often suficient to inspire the construction of conversion plants.
