Embodiment 1

[0037] 1) Lepidolite leaching with hydrochloric acid

[0038] In a 500L enamel reactor, add 250-300 mesh 100 kg lepidolite and 250 kg industrial hydrochloric acid (31% to 33%), stir at 100°C for 2 hours, cool and filter to obtain a concentrated hydrochloric acid extract of lepidolite.

[0039] 2) Remove Al from the extract

[0040] Keep the temperature in the spray tower stable at 380℃, AlCl 3 Convert to Al 2 O 3 . The solid product is collected, and the HCl tail gas is absorbed and returned to the hydrochloric acid leaching reactor. The solid product is dissolved in 200 kg of water and filtered to remove the insoluble Al 2 O 3 Solid, get a chloride salt solution.

[0041] 3) Al, Mg, Fe precipitation separation

[0042] Put the chloride salt solution 1 into the sedimentation tank, add NaOH, adjust pH=8-9, brown precipitate appears in the solution, stand still, press filter to remove Al, Mg, Fe impurities, the obtained filtrate continues to add NaOH, adjust pH=9 ~13, when the magnesiu...

Embodiment 2

[0052] 1) The lepidolite is ball milled and passed through a 250-mesh sieve, and then dried with a flash evaporator;

[0053] 2) Dissolving and leaching the obtained lepidolite with hydrochloric acid, the concentration of hydrochloric acid is 23%, the amount of hydrochloric acid is twice the mass of lepidolite, the reaction temperature is 65°C, and the reaction time is 4 hours;

[0054] 3) After filtering the slurry obtained by the reaction, the silica is separated to obtain an acid leachate;

[0055] 4) The acid leaching solution is sent to the spray tower for spray drying and roasting at 350°C. After the hydrochloric acid vapor in the spray tower is absorbed by the concentration tower, it is sent to the reactor with a plunger pump for recycling, and re-participates in the reaction and concentrates. The tower tail gas is passed through the absorption tower to absorb the residual hydrochloric acid, and then is discharged after being absorbed by alkali; the collected powder is dried b...

Embodiment 3

[0060] 1) Ball mill the lepidolite, pass all 270 mesh sieve, and then dry it with a flash evaporator;

[0061] 2) Dissolving and leaching the lepidolite with hydrochloric acid, the concentration of hydrochloric acid is 26%, the amount of hydrochloric acid is 2.5 times the mass of lepidolite, the reaction temperature is 75°C, and the reaction time is 3.5 hours;

[0062] 3) After filtering the slurry obtained by the reaction, the silica is separated to obtain an acid leachate;

[0063] 4) The acid leaching solution is sent to the spray tower for spray drying and roasting at 360°C. After the hydrochloric acid vapor in the spray tower is absorbed by the concentration tower, it is sent to the reactor by a plunger pump for recycling, and then participates in the reaction again and concentrates. The tower tail gas is passed through the absorption tower to absorb the residual hydrochloric acid, and then is discharged after being absorbed by alkali; the collected powder is dried by a flash ev...

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for extracting alkali metal from lepidolite. The method comprises the steps that the lepidolite is crushed, excessive hydrochloric acid is added for digestion, then insoluble substances are removed, an obtained extraction solution is subjected to spray drying, dried materials are washed with water, and a chloride solution is obtained through solid-liquid separation; and the chloride solution is subjected to fractionation purification, and different alkali metals are obtained. Through the method, impurities in the lepidolite can be effectively removed, and subsequent separation and purification are facilitated. Hydrochloric acid formed through the excessive hydrochloric acid and spray drying can be conveniently recycled, and environment pollution is reduced advantageously. The method is low in water consumption, high in crystallization efficiency and material turn volume and low in power consumption. Meanwhile, by means of the method, the alkali metal loss caused by impurity removing can be effectively reduced, and the alkali metal in the lepidolite can be recovered more efficiently.

Description

Technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for extracting alkali metals from lepidolite, in particular to a method for comprehensively extracting alkali metals from lepidolite. Background technique [0002] Lepidolite is one of the most important lithium mines. It is rich in lithium and is also associated with alkali metals such as potassium, sodium, rubidium, and cesium. [0003] my country's lepidolite ore reserves are very rich, which is an important mineral resource for extracting lithium carbonate. At the same time, lepidolite contains silicon, aluminum, and alkali metal resources such as potassium, rubidium, and cesium. These resources can be comprehensively recycled in the process of extracting lithium carbonate, and the value of lepidolite can be fully explored, thereby greatly reducing the production cost of lithium carbonate. . Therefore, using lepidolite as a raw material to extract lithium carbonate has broad development prospects and obvious economic be...
