Extracting lithium from lithium phosphate aluminum ore consumes electricity. In the early stages of the development of lithium extraction from salt lakes, the technology was immature and the cost was as high as 60,000-80,000 yuan/ton LCE, which exceeded the cost of lithium extraction in some mines. Until 2015, only a small number of enterprises produced it. After 2015, the technology for lithium extraction from salt lakes gradually matured. , the industry average cost has gradually dropped to 35,000 yuan/ton LCE.
