Abstract

The invention discloses a method for extracting lithium from salt lake brine by using an adsorption method. The method comprises the following steps of adding an absorbent in the brine; absorbing the lithium ions in the brine to the absorbent; then treating by using a ceramic membrane; retaining the absorbent in a concentrated solution; subjecting the concentrated solution to plate-frame pressure filtration to obtain an absorbent filter cake; removing most of impurities and water from the brine; washing the filter cake with water and desorbing with an eluent to obtain a desorption solution; removing magnesium from the desorption solution by passing the desorption solution through a weak acid type cation exchange resin; concentrating with a reverse osmosis membrane to obtain a refined lithium solution for preparing lithium carbonate. The method is simple in process and can be operated easily. The absorbent has high utilization efficiency; a lithium-extracting process is short; and the content of the prepared lithium solution is high.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for extracting lithium from salt lake brine by an adsorption method, in particular to a method for extracting lithium from salt lake brine with high magnesium-to-lithium ratio and concentrated lithium-containing old brine in salt fields. Background technique [0002] Lithium is one of the important rare metals closely related to the national economy and people's lives. Its metals and compounds are widely used in glass, ceramics, chemical industry and other fields, especially since the beginning of the 21st century, metal lithium and its compounds have been used in high-energy batteries, aerospace, nuclear Fusion power generation and ultra-light and high-strength lithium alloys have been widely used, resulting in increasing demand for lithium, which has become an irreplaceable energy metal in the 21st century. The world's lithium resources are mainly distributed in pegmatite deposits and brine deposits, of which salt la...
