Answer:
Spodumene, petalite, lepidolite, and amblygonite are the more important minerals containing lithium. Most lithium is currently produced in Chile, from brines that yield lithium carbonate when treated with sodium carbonate. The metal is produced by the electrolysis of molten lithium chloride and potassium chloride.
How is lithium extracted from its ore?
It is filtered and dissolved in hydrochloric acid to obtain lithium chloride, which is purified by extraction with alcohol. (2) Fusion method -- The ore is finely powdered and fused with a mixture of barium carbonate, barium sulfate and potassium sulfate.lithium uses :Lithium is a very soft, silvery metal. It has a melting point of 180.54°C (356.97°F) and a boiling point of about 1,335°C (2,435°F). Its density is 0.534 grams per cubic centimeter. By comparison, the density of water is 1.000 grams per cubic centimeter
