[Yichun's nearly 6000 ton lithium carbonate technological renovation project approved]Against the backdrop of the rebound in demand for lithium carbonate industry, the upgrading of the industrial chain in Yichun, Jiangxi is quietly accelerating. On December 13, 2025, the Ecological Environment Bureau of Yichun City announced the proposed approval for the battery grade lithium carbonate technology renovation project of Jiangxi Huasai New Materials Co., Ltd., marking the substantive stage of a key capacity upgrade plan.
This technological upgrade is located in Wanzai Industrial Park, with a total investment of 80 million yuan. By adding carbonization processes to the existing production line, the original industrial grade lithium carbonate production capacity will be upgraded to battery grade products, ultimately achieving an annual output of 5980 tons of battery grade lithium carbonate. This not only enhances the added value of the product, but also further strengthens Yichun's supply capacity as a national lithium material core base.
Faced with market price fluctuations and cost pressures, multiple lithium carbonate enterprises in Jiangxi are actively promoting technological transformation. In addition to Jiangxi Huasai, companies such as Yongxing New Energy and Jiangxi Colan Intelligence have also launched production line renovations since 2025, aiming to reduce costs and increase efficiency by optimizing processes and switching raw materials. With the gradual recovery of downstream demand, the industry generally expects a mild rebound in lithium prices in the future, which also provides a key window for the continuous adjustment and upgrading of the lithium mica industry in Jiangxi.
