Tibet Mineral Development Co., Ltd. announced on June 30, 2024 that its 10,000-ton battery-grade lithium carbonate project for the green comprehensive development and utilization of Zabuye Salt Lake has officially entered the trial production phase.The project, which began construction in June 2022, utilizes a "membrane separation + evaporation crystallization" process to efficiently recover lithium, potassium and other resources from Zabuye Salt Lake. Once at full capacity, it will produce:
Zabuye Salt Lake, located in Tibet, is the largest lithium salt lake in Asia and the third largest in the world. It has the advantages of large lithium carbonate reserves, high lithium concentration, and low impurities.
The trial production marks an important milestone for Tibet Mineral Development as it aims to become a major player in the global lithium market. The project's advanced processing technology and Zabuye's high-quality resources position it well to supply the growing demand for battery-grade lithium carbonate.
