(Yicai Global) Jan. 15 -- Chinese  chemicals firm Zangge Holding has put its first lithium carbonate plant  in western Qinghai province into production to make materials for new  energy vehicle batteries. 

Zangge has finished the first phase of  the project, the Chengdu-based firm said in a statement yesterday. The  plant is expected to reach an annual production of 20,000 tons of the  product. The factory will achieve its full-speed production mode during  the first half of this year.

The company and its partners have  developed and applied new technologies to extract lithium from salt  lakes in the Qaidam Basin which has low levels of lithium, the statement  added.

The total investment is expected not to  exceed CNY1.4 billion (USD207.2 million), the parent said in August 2017  when starting the project. The firm planned to use an adsorbent  developed by Xianfeng Huizhou New Energy Material Technology.

The project will help Zangge to improve its core competitiveness and profitability, the statement added.
