Problems solved by technology

[0004] Due to the rich ionic components in salt lake brine, in addition to lithium, there are also various metal ions such as potassium, sodium, boron, calcium, magnesium, etc., so many by-products are often produced during extraction, and these by-products are not obtained in the traditional lithium extraction method. Comprehensive utilization

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for preparing high-purity lithium carbonate and other available byproducts from salt lake brine. The method comprises the following steps: (1) separating potassium and sodium by exposing salt in a salt field, (2) separating boron by an acidification method, (3) separating magnesium by a sedimentation method, (4) separating calcium by the sedimentation method, (5) preparing lithium chloride, and (6) preparing the lithium carbonate. The preparation method of the invention can purify the potassium, sodium, boron, magnesium and calcium ions respectively besides obtaining the lithium carbonate product of which the purity is over 99.5 percent so as to fully utilize the salt lake brine resource.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention provides a method for comprehensively utilizing salt lake brine, especially a method for producing high-purity lithium carbonate and utilizing by-products. Background technique [0002] Lithium resources are mainly stored in seawater, salt lake brine, geothermal water and ores, among which the lithium reserves in ores are less than 3% of the total reserves, while the lithium content in salt lake brines is relatively high, accounting for 70-80% of the world's lithium reserves . [0003] The methods for extracting lithium from brine mainly include precipitation method, extraction method, ion exchange adsorption method, carbonization method, calcination leaching method, Xu's method, electrodialysis method, etc. [0004] Due to the rich ionic components in salt lake brine, in addition to lithium, there are also various metal ions such as potassium, sodium, boron, calcium, magnesium, etc., so many by-products are often produced during extract...
