Pilot Trial Based on Ore from Keliber’s Largest Deposit Resulted in High Conversion Rate
Keliber has completed the first three phases of a four-phase pilot-scale test programme. A high conversion rate of 96.3% was achieved in a continuous high-temperature conversion pilot trial performed in cooperation with FLSmidth.The purpose of the test programme is to verify the behaviour of the ore from the company's largest deposit, Rapasaari, at all stages of the process, from ore to the end-product lithium hydroxide. A similar pilot-scale test programme has previously been carried out using ore from Syväjärvi, the mine where quarrying will start first. The test programme started in
