SHANGHAI, Apr 11 (SMM) - China’s lithium hydroxide output was 23,891 mt in March, down 2% MoM, but up 36% YoY. From the perspective of causticisation, causticisation plants were keen on purchasing lithium carbonate to produce lithium hydroxide due to the big price difference between the two and strong demand. From the perspective of smelting, some large smelters reduced their production further due to lithium ore shortages, while other types of smelters also lowered their output amid pessimistic demand outlook.
