Abstract
A technology of reagentless sorption benefication is developed for lithium-containing hydrogenic mineral products of calcium chloride and magnesium chloride type. By the technology, it is possible to obtain lithium concentrates at a ratio of the summed Mg and Ca concentration to Li concentration less than 15, which is 12–25 times lower than in the primary brines.
