2. Lithium continued expansion of production capacity

 

Rockwood, SQM, FMC and production companies lithium accounted for about 3 / 4, some of China’s lithium ThinkPad R52 battery ThinkPad T40 battery production of small producers account for about 1 / 4. SQM produces about 35% of the global supply of lithium carbonate. Rockwood Corporation, through its business unit of specialty chemicals Chemetall produces about 30% of lithium carbonate on the planet, while the production accounts of FMC for approximately 5% ~ 10%.

 

In 2009, the world’s resources in lithium consumption of 8 million tonnes, is expected to five years later, the United States alone 10 million lithium-electric cars, the demand would consume resources of 100,000 tons of lithium. Since 2005, the soaring price of lithium over 10 million yuan per tonne in November 2009 rose to over 60 million yuan per tonne. Inspiron B120 battery Inspiron B130 battery

 

In 2008, production of lithium in the world (equivalent lithium carbonate) estimated at 8 million tons / year. The status quo of the global industry of lithium carbonate, the threshold of significant resources, capacity is highly concentrated. At the end of 2008, global demand for lithium carbonate for a total of approximately 95,000 tons, a major international manufacturers have SQM in Chile, the United States and Germany, the total capacity Chemtall CME year of 79,000 tons, representing 80% of global market share. The large-scale production of lithium carbonate as the company needs to have reserves of lithium resources are more abundant in salt lake resources, mineral rights, which makes the resources of industry with higher barriers to entry, on the other hand, the vast majority of the world’s resources are high in salt magnesium low base of lithium, and high-Mg low separation of brine lithium carbonate lithium technology process purification is very difficult to control before such technology is only a few hands of foreign companies, making the industry of lithium carbonate, but also provides many technical obstacles. Therefore, lithium carbonate has created the oligopoly structure of global industry. hp Pavilion DV1000 battery  hp Pavilion dv4000 battery

 

Lithium mainly from three suppliers, “Lithium Triangle” (Argentina, Bolivia and Chile) to produce brine deposits of lithium. SQM and companies Rockwood Salar de Atacama region of Chile production of lithium, the advantage of lithium at high concentrations and high evaporation rate in the production process may be using solar energy. In addition to outside of South America, companies are Rockwood U. S. Silver Peak, Nevada, brine produced by lithium.

 

FMC Corporation from Salar de Hombre Muerto in Argentina storage brine produced lithium, a filtration process, filtering process faster but more expensive than other processes.

 

Previously, Li Li-Hui career sediment extract. Through this process, however, occur because purity is low, requiring several extraction steps and is energy-intensive process. China is now used only from spodumene to produce a large number of lithium carbonate. M8403 A1079

 

Storage Capacity of South America is increasing. SQM is now the production capacity of lithium carbonate from 3 million tons / year in the third quarter of 2008, expanded to nearly 4 million tons / year. If market demand is strong, it will be extended to be able to 6 million tons / year.

 

Salar de Uyuni, Bolivia has a lithium-store approximately 550 million tons.

 

Admiralty Resources Inc. plans to develop north of Rincon Salara Argentina extended extraction brine, the mine has an equivalent of lithium carbonate from 10.5 thousand tons. All offers World production of lithium carbonate is about 20%. The goal now is to start production in 2009. 50 tons / year average system was commissioned in April 2008.

 

Currently the “Li-triangle” of production of lithium PA-10 PA-12 PA-16 is always a great advantage of economic cost. However, higher prices contribute to the development of lithium storage outside of South America. Nordic Mining Company of Norway through the acquisition of lithium-development projects in Finland, Europe’s leading lithium carbonate for industrial battery manufacturers. The company expects production in 2013 in Finland, 3300 tons / year of lithium carbonate. Esmeralda County, Nevada, United States, presented the perspectives for the development of the mine brine lithium, the Black Pearl will be developed in mining companies, including California, Nevada and Utah, Great Basin, which mine brine lithium.

 

The first 20 years, Chinese manufacturers have also implemented this increase. China in 2007, total global market for lithium is about 1 / 4. 2 to 5 years, China will be able to significantly increase its production capacity is expected to have more than doubled.

 

Lithium-ion source of raw materials in our very extensive. China is one of resources of lithium in the world, the power, especially in the salt lake in Qinghai and Tibet, a large number of lithium resources, development of Salt Lake, not only low-cost lithium - ion 9T215 P/N 310-4804 A1021 to provide raw materials, but also conducive to the development of the western region. At the same time, manganese, iron, vanadium and phosphorus rich resources in China. Synchronous motor permanent magnet with a small size, light weight and high performance features, but China is a large country of rare earth permanent magnetic materials for lithium-electric cars, provided that the hardware warranty.

 

China has been found in the Qaidam Basin, mine brine lithium, but the concentration of the brine mining Chinese small, so that China-made lithium-price the company SQM, and Rockwood doubled.

 

Lithium Salt Lake in the independent R & D, which provides technology and production process of magnesium on the basis of a number of large industrial enterprises in China in recent years in the depths of the Qaidam Basin Zabuye Salt Lake and start build lithium carbonate, magnesium hydroxide and other chemicals production base. The current national production companies lithium carbonate mainly in Tibet, mining, CITIC Guoan, Western Mining Group, Qinghai Salt Lake Group, the four companies, while the extraction of Tibet CITIC Guoan accounted for the vast majority, the two companies in 2008, lithium carbonate Total production over 4000 tons.
