Problems solved by technology

This method utilizes a high temperature of up to 1200°C to calcinate lithium-magnesium-containing brine to decompose it into magnesium oxide and recover lithium carbonate at the same time. Although the raw material consumption of this process is less, the existing problem is that the removal of magnesium will make the process tend to Complicated, and the hydrogen chloride gas in the production process corrodes the equipment seriously, and the energy consumption is high
We observed that this method requires secondary treatment with hydrochloric acid before and after elution, which not only produces serious equipment corrosion, waste acid solution, but also the chlorine gas generated during the treatment process is likely to cause environmental pollution

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for recovering a lithium resource from a lithium-ion-containing solution by using a lithium ion carrier and belongs to the technical field of extraction of lithium sources. The method comprises the following steps: under a reducing condition, absorbing lithium ions from a lithium ion solution to be recovered by a lithium ion carrier in a poor lithium state to obtain the lithium ion carrier in a rich lithium state; and under an oxidizing condition, releasing lithium ions from the lithium ion carrier in the rich lithium state and regenerating the lithium ion carrier in the poor lithium state. Through repeated recycling, the lithium source is continuously recovered by the lithium ion carrier from the lithium ion source. In a lithium ion recovery process, consumption of chemical raw materials is avoided, so that the method meets the requirement of atomic economic reaction and has the advantages of cleanness, efficiency and no discharge of waste liquid. The lithium ion carrier provided by the invention theoretically has an infinite cycle index and the actual cycle life reaches 500-1000 times.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of extracting lithium resources, in particular to a method for extracting lithium resources from a lithium ion-containing solution using a lithium ion carrier, which is suitable for any natural and processed lithium ion-containing solution or lithium-containing waste liquid, and mainly includes Lithium-containing solution obtained from lithium-containing salt lakes and salt fields by concentrating lithium-containing old halogen and processing waste lithium-ion batteries. Background technique [0002] As the metal element with the smallest atomic weight in nature, lithium is widely used in lithium-ion batteries, metal hydrides and nuclear fusion due to its active chemical properties. With the rapid development of lithium-ion batteries, etc., the demand for lithium resources has increased rapidly, and the mining of new lithium-containing minerals and the recovery of waste lithium resources have been promoted. ...
