The invention relates to a method for extracting
lithium from a
salt lake and synchronously removing
silicon and
boron. The method comprises the following steps: pre-treating and filtering
lithium-containing brine; carrying out
reverse osmosis concentration treatment to concentrate
lithium to be more than 2.5 g / L; carrying out
nanofiltration treatment to remove
magnesium,
calcium and
sulfate ions; treating by adopting an
electrodialysis system to obtain a high-
silicon and high-
boron desalted solution and a low-
silicon and low-
boron lithium concentrated solution; the low-silicon and low-boron lithium concentrated solution is treated with
chelating resin and boron removal resin, so that
magnesium and
calcium ions are smaller than or equal to 2 mg / L, boron is smaller than or equal to 20 mg / L, and the refined lithium concentrated solution is obtained; concentrating by an
evaporation system, adding a precipitant, precipitating, filtering, washing, crushing and demagnetizing to obtain a low-silicon low-boron battery-grade
lithium carbonate product. The invention further discloses a
system for extracting lithium from the
salt lake and synchronously removing silicon and boron, the complex and low-efficiency boron removal and silicon removal
nanofiltration process is adopted, and concentration of lithium and efficient removal of silicon and boron are synchronously achieved; silicon scaling
pollution caused by membrane separation and
heat exchanger tube nests is avoided, and deep removal of silicon and boron is realized.
