Abstract

The invention discloses a method for extracting lithium hydroxide by salt lake brine. The method is characterized by comprising the following steps: firstly, removing calcium and magnesium ions in salt lake brine by adding sodium carbonate; concentrating the obtained brine with low lithium-magnesium ratio through ordinary electrodialysis to obtained concentrated brine; adding sodium carbonate to the concentrated brine and removing the calcium and magnesium ions again; adding sodium carbonate to obtain lithium carbonate through a multi-step crystallization method; preparing the lithium hydroxide by an electrolysis-bipolar membrane electrodialysis system after dissolving the lithium carbonate again. The traditional distillation process is replaced by ordinary electrodialysis, so that energy consumption is reduced, and the method is friendly to environment. In addition, the lithium hydroxide is produced by using an electrolysis-bipolar membrane electrodialysis technology, the defects of high energy consumption and low purity in the traditional lime method and electrolytic process are avoided, the capacity of the lithium hydroxide is improved, no waste residue is generated in the process, and the method is friendly to environment. Taken together, the method is simple to operate, low in energy consumption, friendly to environment, and expanded production is easy to achieve.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a new method for extracting lithium resources from a salt lake, in particular to a method for preparing high-purity lithium hydroxide from salt lake brine. Background technique [0002] Lithium-based compounds are widely used in industry, such as for the production of glass, ceramics, air-conditioning refrigerants, and lithium batteries. Especially with the continuous development of China's industry, lithium batteries for storing electrical energy are developing rapidly, and The demand for high-purity lithium hydroxide necessary for lithium batteries is also increasing. At the same time, my country is also a country with a large amount of lithium resources, but the lithium extraction process is relatively backward, and there are mainly problems such as high energy consumption, unfriendly environment, and low purity of lithium hydroxide obtained. Therefore, a new, environmentally friendly production process that can produce hig...
