Zinnwaldite is a type of ore first discovered in Saxony in 1845. As a source of lithium, it is more environmentally friendly to work with than the more commonly mined spodumene ore. In processing, less heat is needed in the calcination stage, and the leaching stage can be done using water instead of acid.

In June 2019 EMH completed an updated Preliminary Feasibility Study, conducted by specialist independent consultants, which indicated a return post tax NPV of USD1.108B and an IRR of 28.8% and confirmed that the Cinovec Project is a potential low operating cost, producer of battery grade lithium hydroxide or battery grade lithium carbonate as …
Zinnwaldite wastes from the processing of Sn–W ores, which was previously mined Cínovec deposit, was suggested to be an accessible raw material for lithium and rubidium production (Jandová et al., 2010). Zinnwaldite has been floated using collectors of the Aeromine series from tin-tungsten tailings (Jandová and Vu, 2008, …

process is constructed from appropriately sized equipment and the testing allows us to address virtually all of the issues that a full processing plant will face. As a result of many years of experience, our staff can quickly provide workable alternatives. ENVIRONMENTAL TESTING Environmental responsibility is a fact of life in today's industry.
The capabilities and opportunities of the application of automated mineralogy for the characterization of lithium-bearing zinnwaldite-micas are critically assessed. …
Lithium and rubidium were extracted from zinnwaldite [KLiFe 2 +Al(AlSi 3)O 10 (F,OH) 2] by (1) its sintering with and CaCO 3 powders and (2) water leaching the obtained sinters—the alkali digestion process. The experimental results showed that sintering proceeded in three partly overlapping stages: (1) decomposition of zinnwaldite …
Mineral processing, art of treating crude ores and mineral products in order to separate the valuable minerals from the waste rock, or gangue. It is the first process that most ores undergo after mining in order to provide a more concentrated material for the procedures of extractive metallurgy.
