Problems solved by technology

There are two disadvantages in this method. The one is that lithium carbonate and slag are mixed together, and it is difficult to completely convert lithium carbonate into lithium bicarbonate by carbonization, which causes part of lithium carbonate to enter the slag and discard it, reducing the recovery rate of lithium. The second is, This method can o

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a preparation method for extracting lithium salt, in particular to a method for extracting lithium salt from spodumene by a soda ash pressure immersion method. Background technique [0002] The methods for producing lithium salts in industry are mainly divided into two categories: [0003] One is from the lithium-containing brine, through the comprehensive extraction and utilization of other valuable metal minerals in the brine, the lithium in the brine can be enriched, and finally Li can be obtained. 2 CO 3 or Li 2 SO 4 ·H 2 O and other lithium salt products, however, because most of the domestic salt lake brine has the characteristics of low magnesium-lithium ratio, the development is difficult, and the industrial implementation of lithium extraction from brine is difficult; [0004] Another method is to destroy the original gangue structure of the main lithium-containing ores, spodumene and lepidolite, by pyrolysis or w...
