Lithium carbonate is a white, odorless salt composed of lithium, carbon, and oxygen, with the chemical formula Li₂CO₃. It is used in various applications such as the production of lithium-ion batteries, ceramics, specialty glasses, lubricants, and in the synthesis of chemical compounds.

En Novandino Litio We produce high-purity lithium carbonate, with a minimum of 99%. The lithium is obtained from the brine of the Atacama Salt Flat in northern Chile and is then processed in our production plants in Antofagasta using various chemical processes that allow us to achieve the quality required by the industry.

Our technical lithium carbonate is supplied to customers all over the world, contributing to key industrial applications, from the manufacture of batteries for electric vehicles and electronic devices to inputs for ceramics and specialty glasses.
