A promising approach for directly extracting lithium from α-spodumene

As many researchers have studied, spodumene exists in nature in the form of α-phase with a monoclinic structure of the pyroxene type. This structure is resistant to the attack of chemical agents, either gaseous or liquid, which makes the direct extraction of lithium from α-spodumene almost unfeasible (Choubey et al., 2016).Therefore, in most extraction methods, α …
