Occurrence of lepidolite with (Li) in the Atotonilco el Grande Formation, in the state of Hidalgo.
Abstract
In this work, the characterization of a lepidolite mineral with lithium content was carried out. Given that lithium is a strategic mineral, it is important to establish possible alternative sources of lithium that allow the development of technologies for both its prospecting and subsequent extraction. From analytical techniques it was determined that it is a lepidolite mineral with PDF [96-900-0629⦌, XPS analyzes revealed the presence of lithium with 0.3%, among other elements such as Si, C, F, O, Mg. It can be concluded that the occurrence of lepidolite corresponds to an age of K/Ar 2.56 Ma of the Pliocene, as a result of activity of hydrothermal fluids of magmatic origin.
Keywords: Lepidolite, lithium, hydrothermal fluids, XPS.
