In 2018, with the concentrated release of lithium concentrate production capacity in Western Australia, China’s smelting companies such as Sichuan Zhiyuan Lithium doubled their lithium carbonate production capacity since July of the same year. Therefore, domestic smelting companies imported more lithium concentrates, while the imported lithium carbonates decreased, which dropped from 30,700 mt in 2017 to 24,500 mt in 2018.
