  • Publication number: 20240124952
    Abstract: In producing a copper concentrate by flotation in which copper minerals are separated from arsenic minerals by using oxoacids of sulfur and oxidants, the arsenic in the copper concentrate is reduced by a simple method. In producing the copper concentrate by the flotation in which an arsenic-containing copper ore is a raw material, the oxoacids of sulfur and hydrogen peroxide as the oxidant are used together as additive reagents, and added in this order.

  • Patent number: 9255011
    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.

  • Patent number: 8920763
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for producing lithium carbonate, the method including: mixing ammonia and carbon dioxide gas (carbonate gas) with an aqueous solution containing lithium chloride to conduct a carbonation reaction; and thereafter, recovering a produced solid by solid-liquid separation, and also relates to a method for producing high purity lithium carbonate.
