Rio Tinto declares maiden ore reserve at Jadar; major potential source of battery-grade lithium carbonate

Green Car Congress

Pre-feasibility studies have shown that the Jadar project has the potential to produce both battery-grade lithium carbonate and boric acid. The consumption of sulfuric acid is predictable with negligible chemical reaction of most gangue minerals—apart from a portion of the carbonates and soluble chlorides.
