[Tibet Mining: Launch of 10,000-ton Battery-grade Lithium Carbonate Production Line in Zhabuye, Tibet] Tibet Mining recently released an important announcement, disclosing the latest progress of the comprehensive green development and utilization project of the Zhabuye Salt Lake in Tibet. The 10,000-ton battery-grade lithium carbonate production line in this project has officially entered the trial production phase on June 30. Meanwhile, the construction of supporting energy facilities is also being accelerated in an orderly manner. The core technology of this project adopts the "membrane separation + evaporation crystallization" method, aiming to efficiently recover valuable resources such as lithium and potassium in the Zhabuye Salt Lake. According to the project's design plan, it is expected to produce 9,600 tons of battery-grade lithium carbonate and 2,400 tons of industrial-grade lithium carbonate annually. At the same time, it will also produce 156,000 tons of potassium chloride and 200 tons of rubidium-cesium mixed salt as by-products, injecting new vitality into the green economic development in Tibet.
