A process for the conversion of lithium phosphate into a low phosphate lithium solution suitable as feedstock for the production of saleable lithium products and for the recovery of phosphorous for re-use in the production of lithium phosphate

A process for converting lithium phosphate into a low-phosphate lithium solution, comprising: Dissolving the lithium phosphate in acid to form a solution; treating the solution with a metal hydroxide to form a precipitate of metal phosphate; and separating the precipitate, leaving a low phosphate li...
