Abstract: Orthogonal test method was used to discuss the influence of four factors i.e.calcination temperature,sulfuric acid concentration,immersion time,and material ratio on leaching rate of Li2O from lepidolite concentrate.Results showed that the leaching rate of Li2O can reach 75% when the lepidolite calcined at 900 ℃ reacted with 70% sulfuric acid in the mass ratio of 1∶1 in an incubator at 130 ℃ for 15 min.Product was characterized by XRD and SEM and results indicated the prepared lithium carbonate was high in purity and had a good application value.

Key words: lepidolite concentrate, sulfuric acid extract, lithium carbonate, leaching rate
