CLIRIK offers a comprehensive range of spodumene crushing and grinding systems. Our technology is designed to optimize your production efficiency, significantly reduce specific energy consumption, and meet the most stringent manufacturing requirements for various spodumene-based products.
Material Introduction
Spodumene is a pyroxene mineral consisting of lithium aluminum inositol silicate with the chemical formula LiAl(SiO3)2. It typically occurs in lithium-rich pegmatites and is prized for its high lithium oxide (Li2O) content. It is most famous for its gem-quality varieties, Kunzite and Hiddenite, but its primary value lies in its industrial and chemical applications.
Physically, spodumene is a hard and dense mineral with a Mohs hardness of 6.5–7, making it resistant to wear but requiring high-energy grinding to achieve ultra-fine consistency. It usually appears in white, grayish-white, or pale green hues with a vitreous luster. Chemically, it possesses exceptional thermal stability and a low coefficient of thermal expansion. In its processed powder form, its performance is defined by its lithium concentration and the removal of iron impurities. High-purity spodumene is critical for the “acid roasting” process used to extract lithium carbonate and lithium hydroxide, which are the fundamental building blocks of modern battery technology.

Industrial Applications
1
200 – 400 Mesh (D97: 75-38μm): Glass & Ceramics (Fluxing)
Applications :
Primarily used as a powerful flux in the production of Heat-Resistant Glass, ovenware, and high-quality ceramic glazes.
Advantages :
It effectively lowers the melting point of the silica mix and significantly reduces the thermal expansion of the final product, preventing cracking under extreme temperature changes.
2
800 – 1250 Mesh (D97: 18-10μm): Metallurgical Fluxes & Continuous Casting
Applications :
Essential component for Continuous Casting Powders in the steel industry and as an additive for specialized metallurgical slags.
Advantages :
At this fineness, it ensures rapid melting and provides optimal lubrication and heat transfer between the solidifying steel shell and the mold, improving the surface quality of steel billets.
3
1500 – 2500 Mesh (D97: 10-5μm): Chemical Grade Lithium Extraction
Applications :
Used as the primary feedstock for the production of Lithium Carbonate (Li2CO3) and Lithium Hydroxide (LiOH) via the sulfuric acid process.
Advantages :
The increased surface area allows for maximum contact with acid during roasting, maximizing the lithium extraction rate and ensuring the efficient transition from ore to high-purity chemical precursors.
4
3000 Mesh + (D97: ≤5μm): Battery Grade Materials & Advanced Ceramics
Applications :
Specialized functional material for EV Battery Cathodes, high-precision zero-expansion glass-ceramics, and aerospace components.
Advantages :
The ultra-fine particle size and extreme purity are critical for achieving high energy density and long cycle life in lithium batteries. It ensures the perfect dispersion and uniform reaction required for next-generation solid-state batteries and precision optical glass.
