Lithium Carbonate

Lithium carbonate, the first chemical in the production chain, is the building block for other lithium derivatives and used in a great variety of applications, like frits for the ceramic and enamel industries, heat resistant glass, aluminum production, pharmaceuticals, and lithium-ion batteries. Albemarle produces lithium carbonate at La Negra, Antofagasta in Chile, and in Nevada, USA, based on naturally occurring lithium brines.
