The invention relates to a method for synergistically extracting
lithium and aluminum from clay type
lithium ores, and belongs to the technical field of comprehensive utilization of clay type
lithium ores. The method comprises the following steps: firstly, adding concentrated
sulfuric acid into the clay type lithium ore for
sulfuric acid curing to obtain a cured product; then, the cured product is subjected to water leaching, a leaching solution and Si-enriched
slag are obtained, and the Si-enriched
slag can be used as a Si extraction
raw material; then, the
leachate is sequentially subjected to purification, concentration and
pyrolysis, a
pyrolysis product and
flue gas are obtained, the
flue gas is subjected to dust collection and acid making,
sulfuric acid is obtained, and regenerated sulfuric acid is returned to the sulfuric acid curing procedure to be recycled; and finally, washing the
pyrolysis product with water to obtain an Al2O3 product and Li-enriched liquid, and carrying out alkali adjustment and lithium
precipitation on the Li-enriched liquid to obtain a Li2CO3 product. According to the method, the technological process is simple, the extraction efficiency is high, sulfuric acid can be regenerated and recycled, collaborative extraction and efficient separation of valuable
metal lithium / aluminum are achieved, and a new technological thought is provided for comprehensive utilization of clay type lithium ore.
