Özet

This study aims to extract lithium from boron ore waste and obtain it by precipitation in carbonate form. Therefore, three different heat treatments and water leaching were applied after each heat treatment. The lithium-rich solution was preferred as a stock solution. The lithium concentration efficiency in this stock solution was determined to be 97.16%. Solutions prepared at specific sodium ion concentrations were dropped into this solution. Thus, lithium carbonate was obtained. The obtained lithium carbonate can be a valuable resource for meeting the increasing demand for lithium in various industries. These findings are estimated to contribute to the sustainable management of lithium resources and may be promising for future research in lithium recovery and use.
