Abstract

The invention relates to a method for enriching lithium in carbonate type salt lake brine, which comprises the following steps of: alternately performing low-temperature evaporation and freezing placing treatment on the salt lake brine; and after each evaporation or placing treatment, performing solid-liquid separation to remove solid-phase salt mine to obtain Li<+>-enriched liquid-phase brine. According to the method provided by the invention, lithium ions are enriched in the liquid-phase brine by a variable-temperature evaporation method; the method can make use of natural energy and has the advantages of environmental friendliness and low energy consumption; and the concentration of the enriched lithium ions can exceed 30g / L.

Description

【Technical field】 [0001] The invention relates to the field of salt lake brine utilization, in particular to a method for enriching lithium from carbonate-type salt lake brine. 【Background technique】 [0002] Lithium resources in my country are mainly distributed in the salt lakes of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. Lithium resources in Tibet are mainly carbonate-type, mainly concentrated in Zabuye Salt Lake in the west of northern Tibet and Bangor-Dujia Lithium Lake in the east. The lithium resources are respectively Accounting for 8.37 million tons and 500,000 tons. The salt lake resources in Tibet mainly exist in liquid brine, and lithium ions are mainly converted to KLiSO after evaporation by natural sunlight. 4 , NaLiSO 4 、3Li 2 SO 4 ·H 2 The O form exists. [0003] In the prior art, the isothermal evaporation method is usually used to evaporate and concentrate brine for the enrichment of lithium. After the lithium ions are saturated in the liquid phase during the evapo...
