50,000-ton lithium carbonate project approved 2025-08-06 14:57:46 On July 30, the Yichun Ecology and Environment Bureau issued a announcement regarding the approval decision for the environmental impact assessment document of the first phase of Fengxin Jiuling Lithium Industry Co., Ltd.’s project to produce 50,000 tons of lithium battery materials per year. The project is planned to be constructed in the South Area of the High-Tech Industrial Park in Fengxin County, Yichun City, Jiangxi Province. It will be developed in phases; the current phase involves a project for the production of 20,000 tons of lithium carbonate along with rubidium and cesium salts per year, as well as a pilot project on a scale of 10,000 tons along with supporting projects for digital monitoring and control. This project is a new construction project. The lithium carbonate and rubidium/cesium salts production facility uses raw materials such as lithium mica, commercially available rubidium/cesium salts, and purchased brine. Through processes including drying, mixing, calcination, cooling, grinding, leaching, filtration, impurity removal, evaporation and concentration, ion exchange, lithium precipitation, carbonization for purification, drying, and crushing, lithium carbonate is produced. Rubidium/cesium salts are manufactured through processes such as dissolution, impurity removal and filtration, extraction, pyrolysis, and crystallization. Potassium sulfate and sodium sulfate are obtained through processes such as freezing, evaporation and concentration, filtration, and drying. Product portfolio: Core products include 20,000 tons per year of lithium carbonate at battery grade, 2,741 tons per year of rubidium carbonate, 97 tons per year of cesium carbonate, 50 tons per year of rubidium chloride, 50 tons per year of rubidium nitrate, 50 tons per year of rubidium iodide, 50 tons per year of rubidium fluoride, 45 tons per year of rubidium sulfate, 50 tons per year of cesium chloride, 50 tons per year of cesium nitrate, 50 tons per year of cesium iodide, 50 tons per year of cesium fluoride, 200 tons per year of cesium formate, 50 tons per year of cesium hydroxide, and 50 tons per year of cesium sulfate ； By-products: Potassium sulfate 50,000 t/a, Sodium sulfate 110,000 t/a. The total investment for this project is 1,000 million yuan (the investment amount approved for the project), of which approximately 12 million yuan is allocated to environmental protection measures, accounting for about 1.2% of the total investment.
