On March 29, Koda Manufacturing said on the interactive platform that Lanke Lithium Industry has completed 85% of the overall progress of the 20,000 tons / year battery-grade lithium carbonate project, and now plans to formally test run it in April 2021, first using some of the devices in the expansion project, and the existing 10,000 tons / year lithium carbonate workshop for integrated production, quickly releasing some of the new production capacity. Taking into account the optimization of technological innovation and the expansion of investment in the lithium sinking workshop, it is expected that the project will be fully completed in the second half of the year. After the construction of the lithium sinking workshop is completed, the actual production capacity of the project will eventually exceed the designed capacity.
According to previous news, the total investment of Lanke Lithium Industry's 20, 000 yuan / ton battery-grade lithium carbonate project was 3.132 billion yuan. After the completion of the project, it can achieve an annual production scale of 20, 000 tons of battery-grade lithium carbonate, with a total annual production capacity of 30, 000 tons of lithium carbonate. At present, Lanke lithium industry has completed 1.78 billion yuan of project investment, of which adsorption tower area, adsorbent plant, 110KV substation, air pressure station and other devices have been put into operation, and the overall progress of the project has been completed by 85%. Nanofiltration reverse osmosis device, boiler room and other devices are currently in the final stage of the project, and the remaining lithium deposition device, sodium carbonate solution preparation device and general plan transportation of the whole plant have not yet started construction.
It is worth mentioning that with the technological innovation and project optimization of Lanke lithium industry, the battery-grade lithium carbonate with a meta-design capacity of 20,000 tons / year is expected to increase the output of the adsorption tower by improving the adsorption efficiency. as a result, the actual capacity of the expansion project has been greatly increased. It is expected that in April 2021, Lanke Lithium Industry will first make use of some of the devices in the expansion project, as well as the existing 10,000-ton lithium carbonate precipitation plant for commissioning, releasing part of the capacity of the 20,000-ton / year battery-grade lithium carbonate project to alleviate the shortage in the existing lithium carbonate market.
According to SMM research data, the recent prices of lithium carbonate and lithium hydroxide have gone up. As for lithium carbonate, the external quotation of large smelters is about 9-93000 yuan / ton, and the output at the supply side has increased, but it is partial to the increment of industrial carbon, and the electric carbon market is still tight. At present, 90% of the output of large-scale smelters is export-oriented, some superimposed manufacturers are short of ore, there are fewer enterprises supplying electricity and hydrogen in the spot market, and the quotations of a large number of enterprises for coarse-grained battery-grade lithium hydroxide have risen to 80,000 yuan per ton, and the actual transaction price has increased.
