SHANGHAI, Apr 11 (SMM) - On the one hand, the output of salt lake-based smelters picked up after the weather warmed up, and some spodumene-based smelters recovered from maintenance. On the other hand, lepidolite-based smelters slashed their production noticeably and battery recycling market was quiet, resulting in a decline in total lithium carbonate output.
China’s lithium carbonate output stood at 30,585 mt in March, down 1% MoM, but up 17% YoY.
