About 15% of the city&#8217;s plants have switched from producing their traditional products to making lithium briquettes.<\/p>\n\n<p>Lithium briquettes can be processed into chemicals used in battery production. Ceramic factories in Gao&#8217;an take the slimy byproduct of chemical production from local lithium refineries and use it in their wares.<\/p>\n\n<p>However, with battery metal prices trading at a record high, even refinery scrap has risen in value. That prompted companies to reprocess it into lithium-containing bricks and sell them to refiners as feedstock.<\/p>\n\n<p>While the volume of lithium supply to be added from the converted ceramic lines will be limited. This reflects a change that illustrates the continued strength of demand in the world&#8217;s key hub for electric car batteries.<\/p>\n\n<p>Another factor in the search for new sources of supply is that the material that is produced in Gao&#8217;an is derived from lepidolite. It is a lithium-bearing ore that is often overlooked as a lower quality metal source. And that ore is under new focus in battery supply chains.<\/p>\n\n<p>Last Friday, prices per ton of lithium carbonate doubled since the beginning of the year in China and reached USD 81,349 per ton (587,500 yuan).<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Source<\/strong> : <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rumbominero.com\/peru\/noticias\/internacionales\/fabricas-chinas-ceramicas-briquetas-litio\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.rumbominero.com\/peru\/noticias\/internacionales\/fabricas-chinas-ceramicas-briquetas-litio\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Photo<\/strong> : cnsphoto<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"#shorts F\u00e1bricas chinas dejan de producir cer\u00e1micas para elaborar BRIQUETAS DE LITIO\ud83d\udd0b\" width=\"422\" height=\"750\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/TXbQgcZQgm4?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n<p>Don&#8217;t miss the <strong>Inspenet News<\/strong> at: <a href=\"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/inspenet-tv\/\">https:\/\/inspenet.com\/inspenet-tv\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"INSPENET CUMPLE SU PRIMER ANIVERSARIO\ud83c\udf89\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/lJRsBvtLmz8?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By: Inspenet, November 9, 2022.<br \/>\nChina&#8217;s factories have stopped producing the traditional ceramics, to supply the battery material for electric vehicles. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7047,"featured_media":59695,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_bbp_topic_count":0,"_bbp_reply_count":0,"_bbp_total_topic_count":0,"_bbp_total_reply_count":0,"_bbp_voice_count":0,"_bbp_anonymous_reply_count":0,"_bbp_topic_count_hidden":0,"_bbp_reply_count_hidden":0,"_bbp_forum_subforum_count":0,"footnotes":""},"categoria_noticias":[13026,13044],"etiqueta_noticias":[],"class_list":["post-59821","noticias","type-noticias","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","categoria_noticias-energy","categoria_noticias-new-energies"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/noticias\/59821","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/noticias"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/noticias"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/7047"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=59821"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/noticias\/59821\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/59695"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=59821"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"categoria_noticias","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categoria_noticias?post=59821"},{"taxonomy":"etiqueta_noticias","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/etiqueta_noticias?post=59821"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
