The effect of lithium chloride on the borane reduction of organic compounds was studied for three ketones, seven acid derivatives, three epoxides and cyclohexene in tetrahydrofuran at $0^{\circ}$. When compared with borane itself, borane-lithium chloride system enhanced the rates of reductions markedly of 2-heptanone, acetophenone, benzoyl chloride, phthalic anhydride, and three epoxides, whereas the reductions of benzophenone, four esters and cyclohexene showed little or no effect. $BH_3$-LiCl (1 : 0.1) reduced styrene oxide in 2 hr at $0^{\circ}$ to give 94.2 % yield of alcohols, 1-to 2-phenylethanol ratio being 60.8 to 39.2. And in the reduction of cyclohexene oxide, $BH_3$-LiCl (1 : 0.1) gave a quantitative yield of cyclohexanol in 2 hr at $0{\circ}$, however $BH_3$-LiCl (1 : 1) gave 58 % cyclohexanol and 42 % 2-chlorocyclohexanol. In the reduction of cyclohexene oxide, lithium nitrate showed no rate enhancement even when the salt was added in large excess. A formation of lithium chloroborohydride in the$BH_3$-LiCl system is suggested.

In this study, we carried out the experiment to prepare lithium carbonate powder through gas-liquid reactions with a lithium-containing solution and $CO_2$ gas using lithium hydroxide, lithium chloride, and lithium sulfate. Thermodynamically, the carbonation reaction of a lithium-containing solution showed that aqueous reaction of lithium hydroxide occurs spontaneously, but aqueous reactions of lithium chloride and lithium sulfate does not occur spontaneously. In the case of lithium hydroxide solution, the recovery rate of lithium carbonate was 69.8 % at room temperature ($25^{\circ}C$), and increased to 89.4 % at $60^{\circ}C$. In the case of lithium chloride and lithium sulfate solution, lithium carbonate could be prepared using sodium hydroxide as an additive, but the recovery rates were 19.2 % and 16.7 %, respectively.

In order to find out the selective reducing characteristics of lithium borohydride, borane, and borane-lithium chloride (1 : 0.1) in the reduction of carbonyl compounds, five representative equimolar mixtures of carbonyl compounds were chosen; benzaldehyde-acetophenone, benzaldehyde-2-heptanone, 2-heptanone-benzophenone, acetophenone-benzophenone, and 2-heptanone-acetophenone, and reacted with limited amount of lithium borohydride, borane or borane-lithium chloride (1 : 0.1) in tetrahydrofuran (THF) at $0^{\circ}$. Borane-lithium chloride (1 : 0.1) showed the excellent selectivity, however, lithium borohydride and borane also exhibited good selectivity except for the 2-heptanone-acetophenone.

A Li recovery technology has been developed and related experimental verification efforts were carried out to improve the economical viability and environmental friendliness of the 'Advanced Spent Fuel Conditioning Process' being developed at KAERI. This technology is characterized by the combination of 1) the electrolysis of $Li_2O$ in a molten salt by using a porous non-conducting magnesia container at the cathode, 2) the separation of the Li in the container from the molten salt by elevating the container above the level of a molten salt, 3) the transport of the Li in the container by using a vacuum siphon to a separated reservoir. Li was semi-continuously recovered from a LiCl-$Li_2O$ molten salt with a more than 95% yield by using the developed technology.

Efforts are currently underway to develop a method for efficiently recovering lithium from the cathode material of waste lithium iron phosphate batteries (LFP). The successful application of lithium battery recycling can address the regional ubiquity and price volatility of lithium resources, while also mitigating the environmental impact associated with both waste battery material and lithium production processes. The isomorphic substitution leaching process was used to recover lithium from spent lithium iron phosphate batteries. Lithium was leached by the isomorphic substitution of Fe²⁺ in LFP using a relatively inexpensive ferric chloride etching solution as a leaching agent. In the study, the leaching rate of lithium was compared using the ferric chloride etching solution at various multiples of the LFP molar ratio: 0.7, 1.0, 1.3, and 1.6 times. The highest lithium leaching rate was shown at about 98% when using 1.3 times the LFP molar ratio. Subsequently, to eliminate Fe, the leachate was treated with NaOH. The Fe-free solution was then used to synthesize lithium carbonate, and the harvested powder was characterized and validated. The surface shape and crystal phase were analyzed using SEM and XRD analysis, and impurities and purity were confirmed using ICP analysis.

For the purpose of development of the extraction process of lithium ion from concentrated water eliminated from desalination process, an experimental research on the solvent extraction of lithium ion from aqueous solutions was performed. The effects of operating parameters, such as concentration of extractant, ratio of extracting solution/aqueous solution, pH of aqueous solution, were examined. The effect of sodium chloride, the major component of sea water, was also examined. Lithium ion in aqueous solutions of pH=10.2~10.6 adjusted by ammonia solution was most effectively extracted by extracting solution composed of 0.02 M TTA and 0.04 M TOPO in kerosine. The addition of sodium chloride in lithium aqueous solution significantly interfered the extraction of lithium ion.

The operating voltage of Li/SOCl2 battery decrease immediately when we give a load battery stored for long time. It is called voltage delay. We cannot rapidly operate equipment at emergence situation because the voltage delays. So we have to overcome voltage delay. We reported the results improved voltage delay in this paper through the control of the carbon cathode forming density. It is the classic method in order to control of voltage delay that is coating polymer in the lithium surface or put in the additive to electrolyte. If the carbon cathode forming density decreases, the operating voltage of battery becomes to increasing because solution resistance of battery reduce.
