Problems solved by technology

The methods for extracting lithium salt from salt lake brine mainly include precipitation method, extraction method, electrolysis method, ion exchange method, etc. Among them, the methods for preparing the basic lithium salt lithium carbonate are the most, but the above methods must first prepare coarse salt, and then It is further purified, and it is difficult to form industrialized production. The main reason is that the process is poor in operability, the process is long, and the product cost is high

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for preparing high-purity lithium carbonate from salt lake brine. The method comprises the following basic processes in sequence: concentrating the salt lake brine to quickly separate crude lithium carbonate; gradually alkalizing at different grades; precisely controlling the precipitating point; and carbonating to obtain high-purity lithium carbonate, wherein if the metal ion is completely precipitated, the prepared lithium carbonate has the purity up to 99.9% and can be directly applied to the production of lithium batteries; and the recovery rate of Li<+> is also up to about 80%. The method is simple in technology and process, lower in cost, and easy for industrial production; few chemical agents are used in the technology; especially, new metal ion impurity cannot be introduced while ammonia water serves as the alkali liquor; and the technological process is carried out in closed loop, so that ammonia exhausted in firing can be immediately recovered and then returned to the production line to be continuously utilized, except for the precipitated slag, and substances are not discharged to the outside any more, and as a result, no disadvantage influence is brought to the outside environment.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of preparing lithium carbonate, in particular to a method for preparing high-purity lithium carbonate from salt lake brine with a low magnesium-lithium ratio. Background technique [0002] At present, the production of lithium salt raw materials in the world is divided into two types: solid ore and liquid ore. Lithium extraction from minerals has been gradually reduced due to reasons such as high energy consumption and high pollution. However, the use of salt lake brine as raw material to extract lithium salt is less polluted, so the share is increasing year by year. Increase. The methods for extracting lithium salt from salt lake brine mainly include precipitation method, extraction method, electrolysis method, ion exchange method, etc. Among them, the methods for preparing the basic lithium salt lithium carbonate are the most, but the above methods must first prepare coarse salt, and then It is further pu...
