Problems solved by technology

Spodumene slag is usually treated as cheap building slag, resulting in the loss and waste of precious rubidium and cesium resources
[0010] The inventor of the present invention has tried many methods to convert the rubidium and cesium in the waste residue after lithium extraction into soluble salts, such as directly soaking the slag with high-concentration sulfuric acid (55%) for 8 hours, and the leaching rate of rubidium and cesium is low 40%; in the spodumene conversion roasting process, the temperature is appropriately raised or lowered, and the conversion rate of rubidium and cesium in a certain temperature range decreases with the increase of temperature, but the highest conversion rate is still lower than 40%; the slag or Roasting material adopts sodium sulfate pressure cooking method and adds additives, the conversion rate of rubidium and cesium is lower than 15%; the slag is mixed with sodium sulfate and roasted, the conversion rate of rubidium and cesium is lower than 20%; the slag is added with concentrated sulfuric acid for repeated acidification at 300°C , the conversion rate of rubidium and cesium is lower than 10%; the slag is mixed with sodium hydroxide and roasted, and the conversion rate of rubidium and cesium can reach 70%, but the roasted product is in the form of molten salt, which is difficult for large-scale production
[0011] The method for further extracting rubidium and cesium from the slag after extracting lithium from spodumene has not been reported yet.

Abstract

The invention relates to a process for extracting rubdium and cesium from spodumene lithium-extracted slag and belongs to the technical field of rubdium and cesium extraction. The process specifically comprises the following steps of (1) adding a converting auxiliary material into slag generated after lithium is extracted from the spodumene, uniformly mixing the materials, and roasting the materials for 30 to 180 minutes at the temperature of 800 to 950 DEG C, wherein the converting auxiliary material is one of or a mixture of more of calcium chloride, sodium chloride, calcium oxide, sodium sulfate and potassium sulfate; (2) cooling the roasted materials obtained in the step (1), and leaching the roasted materials by taking water as an extracting agent; (3) performing solid and liquid separation on the mixed slurry formed after the leaching in the step (2), wherein the liquid phase of soluble rubdium and cesium salts can be subsequently gathered and separated. According to the method for extracting the rubdium and cesium from a rubidium, cesium and silicon aluminate skeleton structure provided by the invention, the rubdium and cesium can be extracted from high-grade ore, and the rubdium and cesium can also be extracted from low-grade ore and slag. The extraction rate of the rubidium can reach up to 98 percent, and the extraction rate of the cesium can reach up to 99 percent.
