The invention discloses a high temperature
lepidolite hydrothermal treatment method for producing
lithium hydroxide. The method comprises following steps: step one, carrying out mechanical activation;step two, preparing raw materials; step three, carrying out preheating reactions; step four, performing
hydrothermal reaction; step five, carrying out leaching and concentration; step six, removing salt: cooling concentrate at a temperature of 20 to 30 DEG C, and stirring the concentrate for 60 to 90 minutes to carry out
crystallization to obtain a coarse product of
lithium hydroxide. The methodhas the advantages of low
energy consumption, cleanness, environmental friendliness, low cost, and high leaching efficiency, and is a novel method for fixing
fluorine of
lepidolite and leaching valuable metals. High temperature hydrothermal reactions are adopted to improve the burning performance of materials, and the problems that
lepidolite is hard to melt at a high temperature and HF gas is generated during the melting process are solved. Moreover, the
lithium conversion rate is largely improved at a proper temperature during a proper period, the technology is simpler, the material flux issmall during the production process, the
recovery rate of lithium and alkali metals is high, and valuable metals are fully utilized.
