Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for producing lithium carbonate, which is important as a raw material of a lithium ion battery and the like, from brine resources. More specifically, the invention relates to a method for producing lithium carbonate, in which carbon dioxide gas obtained by calcining limestone is introduced, in the presence of ammonia, into a concentrated brine, which is prepared from a lithium-containing brine as a raw material through an evaporative concentrating step, a desulfurizing step and an electrodialysis step, thereby depositing lithium carbonate crystals, and the crystals thus deposited are recovered through solid-liquid separation.

Abstract: A method of producing fluorapatite wherein predetermined amounts of calcium monohydrogen phosphate, calcium carbonate, and calcium fluoride are weighed, subjected to a mechanochemical action, and caused to react with one another in water. With this method, a fluorapatite having a uniform composition can be obtained without the accompaniment of by-products. A moisture sensitive resistor of the present invention can be obtained by sintering the fluorapatite produced in accordance with this method. This moisture sensitive resistor has a sufficiently low resistance corresponding to a humidity, and has substantially no hysteresis.
