Water flows considered in the production of battery-grade lithium carbonate from brine. Equation 1 presents the calculation for determining the foreground water consumption within the brine route. Equation 2 outlines the calculation to ascertain the total water consumption. C f o r e g r o u n d = W b w + ∑ i = 1 5 W f w, i − R f w
Kelly et al. (2021) reports an energy demand of 1,79 kWh while Schenker et al. (2022) and Chordia et al. (2022) considered 5,67 kWh and 3,62 kWh respectively, for the production of 1 kg of lithium carbonate. 3.2. Comparative life cycle impact assessment 3.2.1. Climate change impact assessment
This approach led to an optimized lithium carbonate process that capitalizes on CO 2 (g) capture and improves the battery metal supply chain's carbon efficiency. 1. Introduction Lithium carbonate is a critical precursor for the production of lithium-ion batteries which range from use in portable electronics to electric vehicles.
The electrification of the mobility sector is key for the transition to a carbon-clean economy (European Commission, 2017). Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) are at the forefront of this electrification, requiring lithium products such as lithium carbonate with battery-grade purity (over 99,5%) (Choe et al., 2024; Quinteros-Condoretty et al., 2021).
Regarding chemical demands, the results align with the existing literature. For the production of 1 kg of lithium carbonate from high-grade brine deposits in this study, 1,66 kg of sodium carbonate are required. Kelly et al. (2021) accounted for the usage of 2 kg of sodium carbonate, whereas Schenker et al. (2022) considered 1,9 kg.
Around 0.75 Mt LCE is accounted for by carbonate demand and 1.25 Mt LCE by hydroxide demand for a total of 2 Mt LCE demand in 2030. This outcome depends on EV growth and battery technology assumptions, as high nickel cathode batteries require lithium hydroxide while lithium iron phosphate batteries require lithium carbonate.
