William A. Averill and David L. Olson

Energy, 1978, vol. 3, issue 3, 305-313

Abstract: A review of the methods and techniques used to win lithium from pegmatites, natural brines and clays. Additionally, the present procedures for extracting lithium metal from the chloride are outlined with purification and analytical methods discussed. Areas where research would be of benefit are pointed out in those circumstances where additional information will improve process efficiency or increase reserves.
