AbstractThree alternative methods for obtaining lithium compounds are compared — the synthesis of lithium orthosilicate and zirconates by sintering, the synthesis of hexalithium metasilicate from suspension, and low temperature plasma synthesis of lithium-enriched silicates.The present paper discuss the possibilities of obtaining ceramics discs using step-by-step heating and organic binders.The sintering process was computer controlled in order to fabricate ceramics with the desired properties.
