  • PREPARATION OF LITHIUM CARBONATE AND LITHIUM HYDROXIDE
    Publication number: 20240367989
    Abstract: Aspects of this invention relate to preparing lithium carbonate and lithium hydroxide using an ion exchange resin. An example method can include adding an aqueous composition comprising lithium ions into a column. The column may include ion exchange resins saturated with sodium. The example method can include adding water into the column to remove residual sodium salts and adding a sodium hydroxide solution to the column to obtain lithium hydroxide.
