Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method for extracting lithium from a lithium-containing material. For example, the method can comprise leaching a roasted lithium-containing material under conditions suitable to obtain an aqueous composition comprising a lithium compound such as lithium sulfate and/or lithium bisulfate. The aqueous composition comprising lithium sulfate and/or lithium bisulfate can optionally be used, for example, in a method for preparing lithium hydroxide comprising an electromembrane process. The roasted lithium-containing material can be prepared, for example by a method which uses an aqueous composition comprising optionally lithium sulfate and/or lithium bisulfate which can be obtained from a method for preparing lithium hydroxide comprising an electromembrane process such as a two-compartment monopolar or bipolar electrolysis process.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to methods for preparing lithium hydroxide. For example, such methods can comprise mixing a lithium-containing material with an acidic aqueous composition optionally comprising lithium sulfate and thereby obtaining a mixture; roasting the mixture under suitable conditions to obtain a roasted, lithium-containing material; leaching the roasted material under conditions suitable to obtain a first aqueous composition comprising lithium sulfate; submitting the first aqueous composition comprising lithium sulfate to an electromembrane process under suitable conditions for at least partial conversion of the lithium sulfate into lithium hydroxide and to obtain a second aqueous composition comprising lithium sulfate, the electromembrane process involving a hydrogen depolarized anode; optionally increasing concentration of acid in the second aqueous composition; and using the second aqueous composition comprising lithium sulfate as the acidic aqueous composition optionally comprising lithium sulfate for mixing with the lithium-containing material and to obtain the mixture.
