SHANGHAI, Feb 8 (SMM) - The domestic lithium carbonate output posted a significant increase in 2022 compared with that in 2021. In particular, the output in October and November maintained year-on-year growth despite the production cuts of salt lacks due to cold weather and covid-19 impacts. The reasons behind were attributed to the increase in raw materials and the ramp-ups of new capacity.
The operating rates of lepidolite-based smelters hovered at low levels as many smelters were closed at the end of November when environmental protection-induced production restrictions strengthened in Jiangxi.
The lithium carbonate output in 2022 was dominated by the production using lepidolite, but it should be noted that the recycling volume has risen year-on-year and recorded a rapidest growth rate in the final quarter of 2022.
