Lithium extraction from clay-type lithium resource using ferric sulfate

Lithium-rich clay is a potential lithium resource. In this work, a novel, green, and efficient leaching process using a ferric salt solution was demonstrated for lithium extraction from calcined lithium-rich clay samples. Calcination treatment of Li-bearing clay was necessary for subsequent lithium extraction.
