The main raw materials for recycling lithium carbonate are as follows:

Waste lithium batteries

- Lithium iron phosphate batteries: new energy vehicles, energy storage equipment and other commonly used lithium iron phosphate batteries at the end of life, is an important raw material for the recovery of lithium carbonate. Such as Hunan Shunhua lithium industry to new energy vehicles used power batteries or lithium iron phosphate cathode material production waste as raw material recycling production of lithium carbonate.

- Ternary lithium batteries: Ternary lithium batteries are widely used because of their high energy density, and lithium carbonate can be recovered after their scrapping, usually need to dismantle the battery first, and then extract lithium through chemical methods.

Lithium compound waste

- Lithium phosphate waste: the waste generated during the production of lithium iron phosphate and used lithium iron phosphate cathode materials can be used as raw materials for the recovery of lithium carbonate.

- Lithium bromide waste: lithium bromide refrigerant eliminated from large-scale refrigeration machines contains lithium, after pretreatment and removal of impurities, and then use sodium carbonate as a lithium precipitant, lithium can be recycled to obtain the preparation of lithium carbonate.

 Lithium-containing slag

- Lithium pyroxene slag: lithium pyroxene lithium residue still contains a certain amount of lithium in the residue, can be further recycled.

- Lithium mica slag: lithium mica lithium extraction process generated in the slag can also be used as a raw material for the recovery of lithium carbonate.
