Abstract

The invention relates to a lithium extraction process and in particular discloses a method for separating and extracting lithium from lithium sulfate coarse ore. The method comprises the steps of removing magnesium, mixing lithium sulfate coarse ore powder with water, adding calcium oxide, reacting, ageing, and performing solid-liquid separation to obtain a first solution and solid residues; removing sulfate radicals, adding calcium chloride into the first solution, reacting, ageing, and performing solid-liquid separation to obtain a second solution and solid calcium sulfate; calcifying, adding sodium carbonate into the second solution, reacting, ageing, and performing solid-liquid separation to obtain a third solution and solid calcium carbonate; concentrating, adjusting the pH value of the third solution to be 3-8 by using hydrochloric acid, evaporating and concentrating, separating out solids, and performing solid-liquid separation to obtain a primary concentrated solution; extracting lithium carbonate, adding sodium carbonate into the primary concentrated solution, reacting, ageing, and performing solid-liquid separation to obtain solid lithium carbonate. According to the method, the energy consumption is low; a used impurity removal precipitant is low in price and easily available, and an impurity removal product, namely calcium carbonate can be recycled; the process is simple and easy to operate, the magnesium removal efficiency is high, and the lithium yield is high.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a lithium extraction process, in particular to a technology for extracting lithium from lithium sulfate rough ore. Background technique [0002] At present, there are mainly two ways to extract lithium from salt lake brine and from lithium ore. [0003] The process of extracting lithium from salt lake brine is basically to go through a series of separation treatments, and then add sodium carbonate to precipitate lithium to obtain lithium carbonate. For example: Qinghai Lithium Industry adopts multi-stage membrane separation technology, using Dongtai Jinel Salt Lake brine as raw material, using multi-stage membrane separation technology process route, can reduce the Mg:Li ratio in the old brine from 20:1 to about 1:2, Then add sodium carbonate to precipitate the lithium in the brine as lithium carbonate; CITIC Guoan uses the calcination method, using the brine of Xitaijiner Salt Lake as raw material, uses the calcination method...
