Practical application of LHS-9# and LHS-1# lithium pyroxene trapping agents in a processing plant in Ganzi, Sichuan Province, China.

The concentrator mine is currently the largest spodumene mine in China, the annual processing capacity of the concentrator is about 40,1 tons, now in the early stage of open-pit opening, the properties of the ore fluctuate greatly, but after the reasonable adjustment of the use of 9# and <># agents, in more than four years of production and application, the comprehensive index of flotation has been maintained in a good stable state.

At raw ore grades between 12-1.4%, concentrate grades average over 5.5% and recoveries of over 80%.
