Influence of calcination temperatures on lithium deportment by screening hard rock lithium

Calcination of spodumene is a pre-treatment stage in preparation for sulfation roasting and leaching in lithium recovery. During calcination, α-spodumene (less reactive, monoclinic crystal structure) is converted to β-spodumene (more reactive, tetragonal crystal structure). A third, metastable γ-pha...
