Description

Amblygonite CAS NO 1302-58-5 is a naturally occurring phosphate mineral valued as a significant source of lithium, aluminum, and fluorine. Its commercial importance stems from its role as a lithium-bearing ore, which is critical for the production of lithium compounds used in modern energy storage technologies. This mineral is essential for suppliers and processors in the lithium extraction, ceramics, and specialty glass industries seeking a reliable raw material source.

Application

• Lithium Extraction and Refining: A primary industrial ore for the production of lithium carbonate, lithium hydroxide, and other lithium salts.
• Ceramics and Glass Manufacturing: Acts as a source of both lithium oxide (Li₂O) and aluminum oxide (Al₂O₃) in frits, glazes, and specialty glass formulations to lower melting points and improve thermal properties.
• Flux Agent in Metallurgy: Used in specific smelting and welding processes to lower the melting temperature of slag.
• Source of Fluorine: Can be processed to recover fluorine for use in fluorochemical production.
• Gemstone and Mineral Specimens: High-quality, transparent varieties are faceted as collector gemstones.
• Research and Development: Used in material science research for developing new lithium-aluminum-phosphate compounds.
