The invention provides a salt-melting pre-coated ore
particle suspension roasting system and method for clay type
lithium ore, and belongs to the field of
lithium ore
smelting and extraction. The
system comprises a mixer, a preheating furnace, a dispersion dryer, a first
cyclone separator, a
cyclone preheater, a suspension roaster, a second
cyclone separator, a cyclone cooler, an air cooler, a cloth bag or an electric precipitator, a
tail gas treatment device, an induced draft fan, a first spiral feeder and a second spiral feeder. The method comprises the following steps: uniformly stirring and mixing clay type
lithium ore
powder with mixed salt of
alkali metal sulfate and
nitrate; preheating at the temperature of 300-400 DEG C to obtain salt melting pre-coated mineral
powder; the method comprises the following steps: dispersing and
drying mineral
powder, feeding into a cyclone preheater, preheating at 500-600 DEG C, feeding into a suspension roaster, and performing suspension
roasting at 600-700 DEG C; and after gas-
solid separation, cooling to obtain roasted clinker. According to the method, the advantages of salt-adding
roasting of the clay type lithium ore can be played, suspension fluidized roasting after salt mixing of the lithium ore can be achieved, and efficient
selective leaching of low-grade lithium in the clay lithium ore is facilitated.
