World's First 500-Ton Rubidium-Cesium Extraction Line Reaches Full Production
The world's first 500-ton-per-year continuous tower extraction demonstration line for rubidium and cesium from lithium ore, built by the Institute of Process Engineering of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Ganfeng Lithium, has reached stable full-capacity operation. Its cesium carbonate and rubidium carbonate products, with purity above 99.9%, have been launched for sale, marking a breakthrough in efficient green separation of low-grade associated rubidium and cesium resources.
The world's first demonstration line for continuous tower extraction and separation of low-grade rubidium and cesium associated with specialty lithium ore, with an annual capacity of 500 tons, has achieved stable full-capacity operation. Built jointly by the Institute of Process Engineering of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Ganfeng Lithium, the line produces cesium carbonate and rubidium carbonate with purity exceeding 99.9%, and the products have been launched for sale.
The successful full-capacity operation marks a significant breakthrough in China's technology for efficient and green separation of low-grade associated rubidium and cesium resources, providing solid support for the efficient and sustainable utilization of the country's rubidium and cesium reserves.
