Abstract. Today, the demand for lithium and its compounds is growing rapidly. One of the main reasons for this is the significant increase in the production of electric vehicles. This article provides information on lithium reserves, areas of its use, economic scale and technologies for producing lithium compounds. The production of lithium compounds worldwide is also taken into account separately and expressed in precise figures. In the future, as the production of lithium and its compounds increases, one of the main problems is the raw material base. This article is devoted to solving these problems.
Keywords: evaporation, lithium recovery, precipitation, lithium chlorate, system of salts, magnesium chloride.
