Chemical-Metallurgical Plant in Krasnoyarsk. Overview.
Highlights

❑ Founded in 1956 in the city of Krasnoyarsk, PJSC

Chemical-Metallurgical Plant (CMP) is a leading Russian
manufacturer and supplier of lithium products and alkali
metals.
❑ More than 60 years CMP has been successfully producing
lithium products using sulfuric acid technology.
❑ Currently CMP manufactures 7 KTPA of lithium hydroxide
(LiOH). Our partners are battery companies.
❑ Actual LiOH capacity is 15 KTPA, but CMP plans to
increase LiOH production (both Technical(Industrial) and
Battery Grades up to 30 KTPA.
Geographic Location
❑ Annual Lithium metal (99.9%) output is about 100 MT.
port Saint-Petersburg
❑ CMP portfolio includes highly purified (99.99%) alkali
metals, such as Sodium, Potassium, Rubidium, Cesium.

CMP : Limestone Quarry

CMP owns high quality limestone deposit.

Lime for lithium hydroxide production is manufactured

by roasting high-quality limestone (CaO min.56%),
therefore content of impurities in lithium hydroxide is
negligible.

Lithium Hydroxide packing

1. 25 kg net polypropylene woven bags with

polyethylene insert covered by PE film.

2. 1000 kg net laminated big-bags type 13H4

with PE inner container stacked on pallet
and covered by PE film.

6
Lithium Metal packing

Lithium ingots are vacuumized under argon,

wrapped and sealed into plastic.
Afterwards ingots are placed inside steel
drums.

Highly Purified Alkali Metals packing

Each glass ampoule:

- is fixed in 2 plastic collars;
- wrapped in the air-bubble film.
All packages are placed inside metal box lined with protective cloth.

Metal box is inserted into wooden box:

• small wooden box (21,0 x 16,5 x 14,5 cm), weight 1,8 kg.
• big wooden box (45,0 x 25,0 x 14,0 cm), weight 4,0 kg.
