Abstract

The invention relates to a novel method for producing lithium carbonate and lithium hydroxide, which belongs to the technical field of production of lithium salts. The method comprises the following steps of: baking spodumene concentrate; preparing a lithium sulfate solution; preparing lithium carbonate mother liquor; and preparing lithium hydroxide, wherein the lithium hydroxide can also be obtained by adding barium hydroxide into the lithium carbonate mother liquor. The method has the advantages that: lime is added into a lithium carbonate sinker mother liquor to produce the lithium hydroxide by causticizing and transforming, and the production of lithium carbonate is combined with the production of the lithium hydroxide, so that a process flow is simplified, investment and production costs are lowered, a production process is more flexible to regulate and control, and the quality of a lithium carbonate product is more stable. By adopting the method, the mother liquor of lithium carbonate is easier to treat, impurities in the lithium hydroxide mother liquor are easy to treat, and the product quality is not influenced.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a new method for producing lithium carbonate and lithium hydroxide, belonging to the technical field of lithium salt production. Background technique [0002] Lithium carbonate (Li2CO3) is used to prepare various lithium compounds, metal lithium and its isotopes; it is also used to prepare catalysts for chemical reactions. There are also applications in the semiconductor, ceramics, television, medicine and atomic energy industries. [0003] Lithium hydroxide (LiOH) is a caustic alkali. The solid is white crystal powder or small particles. It belongs to tetragonal crystal lithium hydroxide. It can be used as a developing agent and lubricating oil for spectral analysis. [0004] In China, the two products of lithium carbonate and lithium hydroxide are produced by two independent methods (the method of producing lithium carbonate is to obtain lithium sulfate from spodumene ore through smelting and wet extraction. solution, and t...
