The invention discloses a method for preparation of battery grade lithium chloride from spodumene leachate. The method includes the steps of: A, adding a sodium hydroxide solution into a lithium sulfate spodumene leachate solution to adjust the PH to 10-13, adding sodium carbonate for reaction, and performing press filtration to obtain a primary lithium sulfate refined solution; B, subjecting theprimary lithium sulfate refined solution to calcium removal by chelate resin to obtain a secondary lithium sulfate refined solution; C, adding barium chloride dehydrate into the secondary lithium sulfate refined solution to obtain a primary lithium chloride solution; D, adding sodium carbonate into the primary lithium chloride solution, and conducting press filtration separation to obtain a secondary lithium chloride solution, and performing acidification and steam stripping to obtain a lithium chloride refined solution; E, conducting triple-effect evaporation on the lithium chloride refined solution to obtain a lithium chloride concentrated solution; F, subjecting the lithium chloride concentrated solution to freezing cooling to precipitate sodium and potassium, thus obtaining a final lithium chloride solution with low sodium and potassium; and G, carrying out concentration and separation on the final lithium chloride solution, and subjecting the obtained solid to drying so as to obtain a battery grade lithium chloride product. The method for preparation of battery grade lithium chloride from spodumene leachate provided by the invention has the characteristics of simple process, high purity of finished product, stable product quality, low cost and high yield.
