The domestic output of lithium carbonate stood at 26,178 mt in March, up 41% on the month and 42% on the year, according to SMM estimate.

SHANGHAI, Apr 11(SMM) - The domestic output of lithium carbonate stood at 26,178 mt in March, up 41% on the month and 42% on the year, according to SMM estimate. The increases were mainly because the lithium salt plants resumed production in March after the maintenance at the beginning of the year. In addition, some new production capacities were climbing up, coupled with the production increment of the salt lake, leading to an increase in the output of lithium carbonate. Although new production capacity of some enterprises continued to ramp up and output of salt lake rebounded, some manufacturers plan to carry out maintenance in April with the overall output flat from March. The output of lithium carbonate in April is expected to be 26,785 mt, an increase of 2% from March.
