The application provides a method for separating iron elements in brine and application thereof, and the method for separating iron elements in brine comprises the following steps: adding a pH
regulator into the brine, adjusting the pH value of the brine to 6.0-7.0, and controlling the temperature of the brine to be 75-90 DEG C; introducing
oxygen-containing gas into the brine, so that the iron elements in the brine form magnetic
iron oxide; and separating the magnetic
iron oxide from the brine by using a
magnetic separator to obtain iron-removed brine. The method can convert the iron elements in the brine into magnetic
iron oxide, and then remove the iron elements from the brine by using a
magnetic separation technology, so that the problem that iron ions in the brine interfere with the adsorption of
lithium by an adsorbent is solved, and the iron-removed brine obtained by the method can be directly used for
lithium extraction by an
adsorption method, which is matched with the existing
process conditions for
lithium extraction from brine, and has good practicability.
