Abstract: The territory of Ukraine is rich in various mineral resources; among them is lithium, the demand for which in the world remains constantly high. Knowing about presence of a mineral resource, an understanding of its geology and mineralogy, by itself, is not sufficient to substantiate the economic feasibility of mining — it is necessary, based on fundamental knowledge, to choose the technology of mining, beneficiation and processing, because a mineral becomes useful only when the full cycle of a mining enterprise brings profit with minimal environmental impact. A detailed study of the geological structures and mineral associations of an ore deposit or mineralization zone allows optimizing the processes of ore extraction, beneficiation and further processing of mineral concentrates, because all these processes are based on the use of differences in the physical properties of the minerals which form them. In the article we describe Polokhiv and Shevchenkiv deposits, for which the planned beneficiation schemes for obtaining concentrates are given. Also, the most promising lithium extraction methods from aqueous solutions — ion exchange and membrane, are briefly described. This approaches allow obtaining lithium salts with a minimum content of impurities and can be used both for lithium extraction from brines and solutions, obtained during hydrometallurgical processes. There is described experimental work on the electrokinetic lithium extraction directly from minerals into an aqueous solution which is carried out in the Vernadsky museum laboratory of applied mineralogy of M.P. Semenenko Institute of geochemistry, mineralogy and ore formation of the NAS of Ukraine. This research aims to study the changes of spodumene in activated hypergenesis conditions and to evaluate electrokinetic methods industrial use prospects.
Keywords: ore beneficiation, lithium, spodumene, petalite, extraction, ion exchange, membranes, electrokinetics.
