The process from spodumene to lithium carbonate is complicated and has a long process. The pre-preparation stage of extracting lithium carbonate must be spodumene crushing and grinding, and the spodumene crushing process is particularly important. The produced spodumene powder can be directly smelted to produce lithium carbonate. Next, I will tell you in detail about the spodumene crushing process and production equipment.

Spodumene crushing process
The spodumene raw material goes into the jaw crusher for crushing, and the crushed stone is sent to the hydraulic cone crusher for coarse crushing. After coarse crushing, the finished product is screened by the circular vibrating screen. If the particle size of the finished product does not meet the requirements, it is entered into the fine cone crusher for fine crushing, and after fine crushing, the finished product is screened 0-15mm and then directly into the vertical mill or ball mill for grinding.
Spodumene crushing production equipment
From the above spodumene crushing process, we can see that spodumene crushing is mainly used in jaw crusher, cone crusher, grinding machine and screening equipment.
- jaw crusher
Jaw crusher is a commonly used type of crusher, which can be used for coarse and medium crushing of a variety of hard and highly corrosive ores and rocks. Its crushing ability is strong, high efficiency, energy saving and environmental protection, easy to adjust, long service life.
- cone crusher
Cone crusher is mainly used for fine crushing in the spodumene crushing process, which adopts the principle of layer compression crushing design, so that the crushing occurs between the materials and materials, high crushing efficiency, excellent grain type.
3. Vertical grinding machine or ball mill
The grinding machine is the key equipment of spodumene grinding, among which the vertical grinding machine integrates crushing, drying, grinding, grading and conveying, with high grinding efficiency, high precision of powder selection, low energy consumption, little dust and noise pollution, and long service life.
The process of spodumene projects is more complicated than that of sand crushing projects. In the whole process of the spodumene project, C&M Mining Machinery to provide the complete process design, including crushing, grinding, beneficiation, etc. As well as our EPC project contracting services, to provide customers with comprehensive system integrated solutions. If you want to know the lithium extraction process of spodumene, spodumene crushing and grinding equipment seal can be consulted online, we have professional technicians to answer your questions, you can tailor the economic science spodumene production line for free.
