Abstract

The invention discloses a method for lepidolite defluorination and valuable metal leaching. The method comprises the following steps that (1) lepidolite is crushed and levigated, mineral powder is obtained, and in the mineral powder, the mass of mineral powder with the particle size smaller than 0.074 mm accounts for 70% or above of the total mineral powder mass; (2) the mineral powder is added with concentrated sulphuric acid, the mineral powder and the concentrated sulphuric acid are uniformly mixed, and the mass ratio of the concentrated sulphuric acid to the mineral powder is 0.8-1:1; then water is added into the mineral powder and the concentrated sulphuric acid, the mass ratio of the water to the mineral powder is 0.08-0.1:1, the water, the mineral powder and the concentrated sulphuric acid are uniformly mixed, and mixed minerals are obtained; the mixed minerals are subjected to heat preservation and stockpiling for 20-30 h, defluorination is achieved, and curing minerals are obtained; and (3) the curing minerals are added with water to be leached out, the mass ratio of the water to the curing minerals is 1.0-2.5:1, leaching is conducted for 2-4 h under the condition that the temperature is 90 DEG C-100 DEG C, mineral pulp is filtered, and leached slag and leached liquid are obtained. According to the method for lepidolite defluorination and valuable metal leaching, stockpiling, curing and defluorination are conducted through self heating, technological processes are simplified, the production cost is substantially reduced, and equipment investments are decreased; the curing defluorination-water leaching technology is adopted, so that the defluorination rate and the valuable metal leaching rate are increased; and the defluorination rate is larger than 95%, and the leaching rate of lithium, the leaching rate of potassium, the leaching rate of rubidium and the leaching rate of cesium are larger than 90%.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for lepidolite defluorination and valuable metal leaching. Background technique [0002] Lepidolite, also known as "scale mica", is an important lithium resource. Lepidolite is a basic aluminosilicate of potassium and lithium, which belongs to mica minerals, and its structural formula is MeF·MeOH·Al 2 o 3 · 3SiO2 2 , wherein: Me is Li, Na, K, Rb, Cs. Lepidolite is a member of the Li-rich end of the two isomorphic series of Al-Li and Fe-Li. The Al-Li series is incomplete isomorphic, while the Fe-Li series is complete isomorphic. All mica containing Li contains a certain amount of F - , the higher the Li content, the higher the F content. Therefore, the structure of lepidolite is stable, and the leaching conditions are relatively harsh. [0003] At present, the main processes for extracting lithium from lepidolite developed and reported at home and abroad are as follows: limestone sintering method, sulfate roastin...
