Lithium also occurs in significant concentrations in the mineral hectorite, a trioctahedral smectite, lithium can be extracted from the clay through either a pyrometallurgical (roasting) or hydrometallurgical (solution) method. In rocks of this age, smectite is normally transformed into other types of clay. Montmorillonite (MMT) is the best known member of the smectite group. |
