Keliber has commenced test program to produce battery-grade lithium hydroxide
Today, Nordic Mining’s associated company Keliber has announced that a pilot plant test program for production of lithium hydroxide has commenced. The program which is carried out in cooperation with Outotec Finland, includes various technical test work based on Keliber’s spodumene concentrate. To an increasing extent lithium hydroxide is used in cathodes for lithium-ion batteries in electric vehicles, and a successful outcome of the test program will increase Keliber’s market flexibility going forward. Keliber expects the test work and the assessments to be completed in Q1 2019. For
