The invention discloses a method and
system for purification and concentration of a
lithium-containing desorbed solution in an
alumina plant. The method includes: adding an inorganic acid into the
lithium-containing desorbed solution, conducting stirring
neutralization, controlling the
mixed solution weak
alkalinity, pouring the
mixed solution into a clarifying tank for standing, overflowing the supernatant for standby use, subjecting the supernatant to heat exchange cooling to a temperature below 35DEG C, then subjecting the cooled supernatant to treatment in a membrane separation unit, sending the dilute liquid subjected to membrane separation treatment back to the
alumina plant for recycling, and using the thick solution as the
lithium-containing purified concentrated solution. The
system includes a
neutralization tank, a clarification overflow component, a
heat exchanger and a membrane separation component. The membrane separation component includes a membrane separation treatmentunit, a dilute
liquid tank, a thick
liquid tank and a third
centrifugal pump. The invention adopts acid-base
neutralization and membrane separation for purification and concentration, and the processis concise and efficient; the concentrating multiple is higher than 16 times, the
energy consumption and operation cost are low, the lithium
recovery rate is greater than or equal to 90%, and Li<+> inED produced concentrated water is more than or equal to 8g / l, thus creating conditions for subsequent production of high-quality
lithium carbonate.
