Lithium carbonate can be used in the production of lithium compounds, enamel, and glass, serving as a raw material for lithium compounds and metallic lithium. It can also act as an additive in aluminum electrolysis baths. Lithium carbonate is widely used in industries such as glass, ceramics, pharmaceuticals, and food, and is also applied in synthetic rubber, dyes, semiconductors, defense, televisions, nuclear energy, catalysis, and medicine. It is used for producing acoustic-grade and optical-grade single crystals and has applications in treating manic mental disorders and manufacturing sedatives.
Battery-Grade Lithium Carbonate: Mainly used to produce cathode materials for lithium-ion batteries, such as lithium cobalt oxide, lithium manganese oxide, ternary materials, and lithium iron phosphate.
High-Purity Lithium Carbonate: Mainly used to produce high-end lithium-ion battery cathode materials and battery-grade lithium fluoride. In optoelectronics, high-purity lithium carbonate is used to produce lithium tantalate and lithium niobate. It is also applied in specialty optical glass, magnetic materials, supercapacitors, and the pharmaceutical industry.
