March 23 (Xinhua) -- Recently, a key breakthrough has been achieved in the extraction and separation technology for lithium resources from Qinghai salt lakes. This technology can increase the comprehensive recovery rate of lithium resources by 15% to 20% and reduce costs by over 30%. Chempricehub analyzed lithium hydroxide, with a long-short rating of -1.5. The breakthrough in Qinghai salt lake lithium extraction technology significantly enhances the comprehensive recovery rate of lithium resources by 15% to 20% and reduces costs by over 30%. This will increase the supply of lithium hydroxide, lower production costs, and exert significant downward pressure on spot prices. The technological optimization directly improves production efficiency, potentially leading to a shift toward a looser market supply-demand balance, putting pressure on prices in the short term.
