Contact2016-5-24 Mining and Concentrating Spodumene In the Black Hills, South Dakota by Gerald A. Munson and Fremont F. Clarke D URING recent years the use of lithium has ex- panded greatly in industrial, chemical, and metallurgical fields, while at the same time mod- ernized methods of mining and refining lithium have increased production.
Contact2019-1-21 Spodumene. This form of lithium follows extraction from a pegmatite rock, which is popular for its high lithium content. Spodumene is a highly exploited lithium source and was the main source of the rare metal for a long time. Spodumene is a gemstone and its price fluctuates depending on the demand.

ContactSpodumene has a theoretical Li2O content of 8.03%. Due to its high lithium content, spodumene is considered the most important lithium ore mineral. A typical run of mine ore can contain 1-2% Li 2 O, while a typical spodumene concentrate suitable for lithium carbonate production contains 6-7% Li 2 O (75% 87% spodumene). Higher grade concentrates
