Recently, there are a lot of studies for securing lithium sources of Lithium-Ion Batteries. We had some studies for Lithium recovery from Yamaga-Onsen-Centre’s hot spring water located at Kitsuki city in Oita prefecture. Lithium ion was selectively adsorbed by passing the hot spring water through the column for 70 hours, using our mobile Lithium recovery apparatus. After that, Lithium was eluted, concentrated, carbonated and purified. We will report in detail for recovery of Lithium carbonate with high purity.
