The application provides a method for preparing high-purity
lithium nitrate from
lithium ore after aluminum removal, and relates to the technical field of high-purity
lithium nitrate preparation, and comprises the following steps: ball milling lithium ore; adding water to the ball-milled lithium ore to make pulp, then adding
nitric acid and Al2O3 into the
slurry to perform pressure leaching reaction, filtering the obtained
solid-liquid mixture to obtain leaching solution and leaching residue; adjusting the pH value of the leaching solution to remove trace impurities in the solution, and obtaining
lithium nitrate solution through extraction and back extraction of the obtained
impurity-removed solution; evaporating and concentrating the
lithium nitrate solution to crystallize, and obtaining high-purity
lithium nitrate product. Since Al2O3 is added in the
nitric acid leaching stage, the aluminum in the leaching solution can be induced to hydrolyze under high temperature and
high pressure in the
nitric acid system and remain in the leaching residue, the acid consumption is reduced, and the cost of traditional leaching solution
impurity removal is reduced. The method changes the traditional large lithium loss in leaching solution
impurity removal, simultaneously simplifies the steps of converting traditional
lithium carbonate or
lithium hydroxide into lithium
nitrate, the process
route is shorter, and the process cost is lower.
