Lithium Products

Xunsn international group invests in mines and manufacturers of lithium ores in African. With the increased focus on renewable energy to counteract climate change and other environmental issues related to fossil fuel consumption, consumers are becoming ever more aware of lithium and where it comes from. While lithium is used in a lot of everyday applications, the rapidly growing Electric Vehicle (EV) market is currently driving demand.  Lithium ore, also known as hard-rock lithium, is derived from mining and is one of the major raw material sources for lithium production for industrial applications – the other source is lithium brines. Hard-rock lithium deposits are found in countries like Australia, Brazil, Canada, Ireland, Finland, Democratic Republic of Congo, and Zimbabwe, among others. The most important minerals for lithium mining are spodumene (Li2O, Al2O3·4SiO2) and petalite (Li2O, Al2O3·8SiO2). Both minerals occur in granitic pegmatites, a type of igneous rock characterized by its coarse texture and mineralogical composition dominated by quartz, feldspar, and mica. Lithium is perhaps best known for its role in advanced battery production, as well as having long-established applications in ceramics, metallurgy, and medicine.     Processing hard-rock lithium into concentrates for industrial applications can yield either lithium hydroxide (LiOH) or lithium carbonate (Li2CO3).  Lithium carbonate can be either a precursor compound to lithium hydroxide or an end-product.
