Editing Lithium carbonate (section)

===From end-of-life batteries===
A few small companies are [[Battery recycling|recycling spent batteries]], focusing on recovering copper and cobalt. Some recover lithium carbonate alongside the compound Li<sub>2</sub>Al<sub>4</sub>(CO<sub>3</sub>)(OH)<sub>12</sub>⋅3H<sub>2</sub>O
