Problems solved by technology

Zhou et al. adopted ZnCl 2 , CrCl 3 As a co-extractant, the extraction behavior of TBP was studied under 3 kinds of diluents, but no improvement effect was obtained (Zhou Z.-Y., Qin W., Fei W.-Y..J.Chem.Eng.Data, 2011, 56, 3518-3522)
While using TBP in documents CN101698488A and CN102275956A, adopt amides, alcohols or ketones as extraction aids, still adopt FeCl 3 Co-extraction agent and back extraction of lithium under acidic conditions need to keep the iron salt in the organic phase, and the degree of technical improvement has its limitations

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for separating magnesium and extracting lithium from salt lake brine with a high magnesium-lithium ratio. With adoption of the method, tributyl phosphate is taken as an extractant, number 200 solvent oil or kerosene is taken as a diluent, perchlorate is taken as a co-extraction agent, and water is taken as a stripping agent to form an extraction system; and lithium carbonate is prepared through extraction, reversed-phase extraction and deep magnesium removal by the salt lake brine. The method has the following beneficial effects: 1. the property of the co-extraction agent is stable, lithium magnesium separation can be carried out in neutral brine and the pH value of an aqueous phase needs not to be controlled; 2. the emulsification phenomenon doesn't exist and a third phase doesn't appear in the extraction process, two phases are easy to separate, the reversed-phase extraction is carried out by water and the device has little corrosion; and 3. the whole technique is simple in process, high in lithium extraction rate, good in separation effect and low in economic cost, is suitable for industrial production of the salt lake brine and is low in environmental damage degree because the co-extraction agent in water can be recycled.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of inorganic chemical industry and relates to a technology for extracting lithium from salt lake brine, in particular to a method for separating magnesium and extracting lithium from brine with a high magnesium-to-lithium ratio. Background technique [0002] In the past two decades, lithium and its compounds have been increasingly widely used due to their excellent properties. The global demand for lithium has continued to grow. Salt lake lithium resources account for 69% of the world's industrial reserves of lithium resources, of which low-magnesium lithium is more than that of brine Ataca, Chile. The Ma-type Salt Lake was first developed. my country is a country with large salt lake resources, and the liquid lithium resources are very rich. However, most of the salt lakes in my country have the characteristics of high mass ratio of magnesium to lithium, such as Dachaidan, Yiliping, Dongtai Jinel, Xitai Jinel and Cha...
