Abstract

The invention provides a method for extracting lithium from salt lake brine, comprising the following steps: 1) mixing organic phase composed of salt lake brine, extracting agent and extracting medium with synergist, extracting the mixture and collecting the organic phase; 2) mixing the organic phase in step 1 with hydrochloric acid solution and carrying out back-extraction on the mixture, collecting aqueous phase to obtain aqueous solution of Lithium-ion; the step is characterized in that the extracting medium is hydrophobic ionic liquid. Compared with the traditional method for extracting lithium from salt lake brine with solvent gasoline as the medium, the method of the invention employs green and environmental-friendly ionic liquid as the medium; as a result, lithium salt extraction efficiency is improved, back-extraction acidity is lowered, what is more important is that environmental pollution and equipment corrosion due to use of a great deal of volatile organic solvent and high-concentration hydrochloric acid are avoided. In addition, the organic phase of the invention features fine cyclic applicability, thus greatly reducing production cost for extracting lithium from the salt lake brine.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of chemical industry, in particular to a method for extracting lithium from salt lake brine. Background technique [0002] Lithium and its compounds are widely used in glass, ceramics, lubricants, electronics, metallurgy, chemical industry, medicine, manufacturing industry, refrigerants, aerospace and other fields. In recent years, with the increase in the demand for lithium in the above-mentioned traditional fields, and the continuous deepening of research on the development and application of lithium in high-tech fields such as aerospace, nuclear power generation, high-energy batteries, and lightweight high-specific-strength alloys, lithium has become a very important part of industrial production.
