6% is arbitrary number. When there was a surplus lithium in the open market, it was easy for refiner to demand 6%
Think of it this way with the equipment miner has, it is "expensive" to process 5.x% to 6% concentrate, it could literally be sendng the SC for another round of processing... But it is cake walk (no real difference n time/cost) for refiner to take 5.x or 6% to 99.9%
Hence many miners produce 5.x% SC concentrate
