Embodiment 1

[0019] The mixing ratio of water and industrial lithium carbonate is 33:1

[0020] Weigh 15.1 grams of 99% industrial lithium carbonate and 500ml of water to mix, and pass into CO at room temperature 2 When the system is clear, add 25ml of prepared 0.34mol / L trilithium ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid salt solution to the solution, stir for 30min, then heat to 85°C, and filter the precipitated lithium carbonate under reduced pressure. The obtained solid was dried at 550° C. for 3 hours, and the analysis of the impurity content of the product is shown in Table 1.

Embodiment 2

[0022] The mixing ratio of water and industrial lithium carbonate is 100:1

[0023] Weigh 5 grams of 99% industrial lithium carbonate and 500ml of water to mix, and pass into CO at room temperature 2 Until clarification, add 10ml of prepared 0.34mol / L trilithium ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid salt solution to the solution, stir for 30min, then heat to 85°C, filter the precipitated lithium carbonate under reduced pressure, and wash once with 20ml of water. The resulting solid was dried at 550 °C for 3 h. The analysis of product impurity content is shown in Table 1.

Embodiment 3

[0027] Preparation of Trilithium Ethylenediaminetetraacetic Acid Salt Solution

[0028] Weigh 14.6 g of EDTA and disperse it in 110 ml of water, heat to 60°C under stirring, then add 36 ml of 10% lithium hydroxide solution to obtain a clear and transparent trilithium EDTA solution.

[0029] The molar concentration of the solution is 14.6g / (292g / mol×0.146L)=0.34mol / L.

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for removing calcium, magnesium, iron, sodium and potassium cation impurities in battery-grade lithium carbonate. Firstly, carbon dioxide gas with a content higher than 99.5% is passed into a mixed system containing industrial lithium carbonate and double distilled water , after the lithium carbonate solid dissolves, add a lithium-containing acid chelating agent to remove 1-3 times the molar amount of cationic impurities and stir the reaction. After a few minutes, heat the solution to decompose LiHCO3 to form Li2CO3 and precipitate, filter and burn Battery grade lithium carbonate can be obtained. The present invention has the advantages that: the chelating agent does not contain Na, K and other impurity ions that can cause secondary pollution and can be used repeatedly; the content of various cationic impurities in the prepared battery-grade Li2CO3 is lower than the battery-grade lithium carbonate standard; impurity removal The Li2CO3 generated by the decomposition of LiHCO3 can be burned directly without washing or washed 1-2 times, thereby reducing the loss of lithium caused by multiple washing products, and the recovery rate of Li during the impurity removal process can reach more than 95%.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for removing impurity ions, in particular to a method for removing cationic impurities such as calcium, magnesium, iron, sodium and potassium in battery-grade lithium carbonate, and is applied to the field of preparing battery-grade lithium carbonate. Background technique [0002] Li 2 CO 3 It is the most important lithium salt among lithium compounds and the main raw material for preparing other high-purity lithium compounds and lithium alloys. Therefore Li 2 CO 3 The production of lithium is one of the most basic and critical links in the lithium industry. The rapid development of the lithium battery industry in recent years has prompted the production of Li, the main raw material for lithium battery cathode materials. 2 CO 3 demand has increased substantially. [0003] At present, lithium compounds at home and abroad are extracted from lithium-containing salt lakes or lithium ores. Although the lithium extra...
