Mechanochemical approaches are one of the most promising alternative lithium extraction processes. Milling α-spodumene in a planetary-style mill for only 30 min drastically reduces the particle size, increases surface area, destroys crystallinity, and cleaves O-M (M = Li, Al, and Si) bonds [19, 20].Further, employing a conventional …
