Abstract

There is more increasing interest in lithium resources as lithium ion batteries are rapidly becoming the technology of choice for the next generation of Electric Vehicles. In this paper, current status on lithium reserve base, lithium supply and demand is reviewed, and technology for lithium recovery is briefly introduced.

리튬 이온 배터리가 빠르게 차세대 전기차의 핵심 기술이 되어감에 따라 리튬 자원에 대한 관심이 고조되고 있다. 본 고에서는 리튬 매장량, 리튬 생산 및 수요 현황을 살펴보고 리튬의 회수 기술에 대해 간략히 소개하고자 한다.
