Lime Slaking for Lithium Project
A lithium lime slaking system involves using lime (calcium oxide) to produce a hydrated lime slurry, which is then used in lithium extraction and refining processes to improve the quality and efficiency of lithium production. La optimización de la calidad de la pulpa de cal hidratada (su pureza y reactividad) ofrece a los productores de litio la oportunidad de mejorar la efectividad y la eficiencia generales de su proceso de producción de litio.
Overview
Carmeuse Systems is a specialist in the design and engineering of dry bulk chemical systems. We are well-placed to support lithium producers with their dry chemical handling needs. We have particular expertise when it comes to storing and handling bulk dry chemical products. Additionally, we are also a leading expert in the supply of lime slakers, which take quicklime and turn it into hydrated lime slurry so it can be added to the lithium extraction process.
