Alkali-Induced Phase Transition to β-Spodumene along the LiAlSi<sub>2</sub>O<sub>6</sub>-LiAlSi<sub>4</sub>O<sub>10</sub> Join

Alkali-Induced Phase Transition to β-Spodumene along the LiAlSi<sub>2</sub>O<sub>6</sub>-LiAlSi<sub>4</sub>O<sub>10</sub> Join

Due to the refractory nature of α-spodumene (LiAlSi<sub>2</sub>O<sub>6</sub>) and petalite (LiAlSi<sub>4</sub>O<sub>10</sub>), two major lithium minerals, conventional lithium recovery processes involve a high-temperature pre-treatment (>1000 °C) to...
