| lepidolite Chemical Properties |
| lepidolite Usage And Synthesis |
| Description | Before spodumene became the sole ore for the recovery of lithium for chemical use, lepidolite was used as a lithium source.
One process for recovery of lithium from lepidolite used sulfuric acid in a procedure similar to that used by the Lithium Corporation of America for spodumene. A more recent method involved heating a mixture of lepidolite and potassium sulfate to just below the melting point and extracting the mixture with water to recover a solution of lithium sulfate.
| | Agricultural Uses | Lepidolite, a variety of mica, is a fluorosilicate of
potassium, lithium and aluminum found in pegmatites.
Generally, rubidium occurs as an impurity. |
