Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2008224275
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
To provide a method and apparatus for recycling lithium, which is rare and expensive, contained in lithium ceramics of a nuclear fusion blanket lithium breeder material, and further to provide a lithium ceramic material molded of the recovered lithium.
A spent lithium ceramic material is chemically dissolved by a wet method, cleared of impurities, and then a ceramic constituent element is added to control the composition.
