Review on the Beneficiation of Li, Be, Ta, Nb-Bearing
Lithium-bearing polymetallic pegmatite ores are an important raw material for lithium extraction. They contain not only lithium but also other associated elements such as beryllium, tantalum, and niobium, with great recovery values. It is therefore often called lithium-bearing polymetallic pegmatite ore (LPPO). The recovery and utilization of Be …

Abstract. The main source of beryllium in commercial deposits is beryl, Be 3 Al 2 [Si 6 O 18 ]. Beryl is generally found in pegmatites or micaceous greisens and is therefore mainly associated with feldspar, quartz, and micas. Other sources of beryllium are bertrandite, Be 4 (OH) 2 Si 2 O 7, and minor minerals such as chrysoberyl, Al 2 BeO 4 ...
