Lithium Processing and Testing Services

Explore the lithium processing journey and the testing services provided by Cotecna across the supply chain.

Benefits of Lithium Testing

Lithium-bearing minerals are highly complex and require multiple methods to be applied to each sample to check its suitability to a specific ore body for 100% dissolution. A wide range of identical certified reference samples are run to control the analysis process. The strict QA/QC practices include 15 to 25% of the number of the samples analysed. The accurate and precise methods with strict QA/QC practices improve customer confidence and help in making quicker decisions on investments.
