Abstract

The invention relates to a method and a device for separating magnesium and lithium and enriching the lithium from salt lake brine. The method comprises the following steps of: separating an electrodialyzing device into two areas by using an anion exchange membrane, namely a lithium salt chamber and a brine chamber, filling the salt lake brine in the brine chamber, and filling a supporting electrolyte solution which does not contain Mg<2+> in the lithium salt chamber; placing a conducting matrix coated by an ionic sieve in the brine chamber as a cathode; placing the conducting matrix coated by a lithium-embedded ionic sieve in the lithium salt chamber as an anode; under the driving of an external electric potential, embedding Li <1+> in the brine in the brine chamber into the ionic sieve to form the lithium-embedded ionic sieve, and recovering the lithium-embedded ionic sieve into the ionic sieve after the lithium-embedded ionic sieve in the lithium salt chamber releases the Li <1+> into a conducting solution; and discharging a liquid in the brine chamber after the lithium is embedded, adding the salt lake brine again, alternatively placing electrodes in the two chambers, and repeating and circulating operations. Through the method and the device for separating magnesium and lithium and enriching lithium in the salt lake brine, the separation of the lithium and other ions is effectively realized, and a lithium-enriched solution is synchronously obtained. The method has a short flow and low production cost, is simple to operate, can be operated continuously, and is easy to industrially apply.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of extraction metallurgy, and specifically relates to a method and a device for directly treating salt lake brine to separate magnesium and lithium, and then enrich lithium. Background technique [0002] Since lithium-ion batteries were commercialized by Sony in 1990, lithium has become more and more important in modern industry, and is known as "the new energy metal in the 21st century". Due to its high energy density and long cycle life, lithium-ion Batteries are widely used in electronic equipment, and the market demand for lithium is expanding rapidly, so the mining of lithium resources becomes more important. [0003] In nature, lithium mainly exists in two forms of ore and brine. Most lithium resources exist in brine, especially salt lake brine, and its reserves account for more than 80% of the total lithium resource reserves. With the growth of market demand, mineral lithium resources are in short supply and t...
