Lithium in aluminum

Lithium carbonate is used in the aluminum industry to improve key processes such as reducing melting temperature, increasing process efficiency.

Aluminum representing the use of lithium carbonate in industrial processes

Use of lithium carbonate in aluminum

Our lithium carbonate is added to the process of aluminum production so that it can melt into lower temperatureThis means that it is needed less energyincreasing efficiency and reducing electricity consumption.
At the same time, it helps to reduce fluoride emissions into the environment between one 20–30% and reduces the use of materials such as coal and cryolite, making the process cleaner and more responsibleThus, our carbonate provides innovation and sustainability at every step of the aluminum production process.

industrial applications

Primary aluminum smelting: where low operating temperature is required.

Sensitive metallurgical processes: which benefit from lower energy consumption and lower emissions.

Extraction and refining plants: that seek efficiency in electrical flow and less wear.

How does it work in aluminum production?

Lithium carbonate is added to electrolytic bath, where it manages to lower the melting point of molten aluminum.

By reducing the operating temperature, the use of electrical current is optimized and the Energy Efficiency .

Fluoride emissions (a process contaminant) are reduced between 20% and 30%.

It also reduces the wear of carbon anodes and cryolite consumption, lowering costs and emissions associated with the electrolytic process.

Industrial benefits

Lower energy consumption: thanks to the reduction in bath temperature.

Emission reduction: Significant reduction in fluoride, with environmental benefits.

Higher productivity: more efficient processes and less wear and tear on components.

Why is our lithium carbonate ideal?

Superior purity (≥ 99%): ensures consistent and efficient effect in electrolytic baths.

Crystallized form (CRY9000.00): It facilitates its dissolution and direct use in the aluminum industry.

Sustainable production: with >95% solar energy in Salar del Carmen.

Traceability and reliability: Consistent deliveries from a port with 99% operational capacity.
