Abstract:
      Spodumene concentrate was roasted at 1 050 ℃ and then used for sodium carbonate autoclave process. The operation conditions for autoclave process were optimized. The results show that the extraction can reaches up to 96% under the optimal conditions that stirring speed is 300 r/min, ratio of liquid to solid is 4, and reacting time at 225 ℃ is 60 min. The result is almost the same as that obtained by sulfuric acid method.
