What is Lithium Extraction and How Does It Work?

Jul 31, 2018 By definition, lithium extraction is a set of chemical processes where lithium is isolated from a sample and converted to a saleable form of lithium, generally a stable yet readily convertible compound such as lithium carbonate. Most lithium extraction processes entail some form of mining to reach underground deposits of lithium-rich minerals
