Spodumene Ore CAS NO.:66057-55-4

Spodumene is a highly valuable mineral that is widely used in various industries due to its unique properties. Here is everything you need to know about Spodumene.

What is Spodumene?

Spodumene is a monoclinic mineral that belongs to the pyroxene family. It is primarily composed of lithium, aluminum, and silicon. The crystal structure of Spodumene is usually columnar, granular or plate-like, and it comes in different colors such as gray, gray -green, purple, or yellow.

What are the properties of Spodumene?

Spodumene has excellent thermal stability and high melting point, making it ideal for high-temperature applications. It also has a low coefficient of thermal expansion, which makes it highly resistant to thermal shock. Furthermore, it is highly resistant to chemical goods and chemical conductivity.

What are the uses of Spodumene?

Spodumene has various uses across different industries. In the ceramic industry, Spodumene is added as a flux in the ceramic embryo. It is also an essential component that ensures the formation of low thermal expansion crystals. In glass and enamel glaze formulations, the introduction Spodumene results in the formation of β-spodumene and kaesite low expansion crystals, thereby improving the mechanical strength and thermal vibration resistance.

In addition to ceramics and glass, Spodumene is also used in welding, riveting welding agents, and as a catalyst for the polymerization of butadiene and styrene to produce polymers with specific properties.

A Korean customer, functioning as a trader, recently bought spodumene from us for distribution. Additionally, an Austrian customer recently acquired spodumene concentrate from us for use in their glass furnaces.
