Abstract

Economic efficiency was investigated for the integrated use of lithium-bearing raw material. The versions of industrial arrangement are considered for two kinds of raw material such as hydromineral and mining one, differing in logistics and completeness. It is demonstrated that the use of hydromineral raw material allows substantially decreasing the risks connected with the reduction in demand for auxiliary products; as well as allows one enhancing the competitiveness of production at the expense of cost saving for separate products in the course of the integrated extraction of useful components of brines in a united industrial cycle.
