First isolated in 1821 by William Thomas Brande, lithium was first applied commercially in the early 20th century as a high temperature lubricant. Today, lithium is both extracted from both spodumene ore and salars, or dry lakebeds, where lithium-bearing brines are found under salt deposits. Chile, Australia, Argentina and China are the leading producers of lithium, which has experienced growing consumption in recent years due to increasing use of rechargeable lithium-ion batteries.
SMI Ltd. is able to supply lithium metal ingots and lithium granules in purities from 99.9%, as well as lithium nitrate. Please contact us with your specific requirement or for current prices.
