The process for purifying lithium is in which the lithium is melted in an inert atmosphere. The molten lithium is then maintained at a temperature of 400° to 700° C. In this manner, impurities in the lithium are virtually exclusively vaporized, without giving rise to substantial evaporation of lithium. The vaporized impurities are then condensed at a temperature of less than 100° C. and the purified lithium is recovered in molten form.
