Abstract

The invention provides a method for extracting lithium from salt lake brine with a high magnesium to lithium ratio. An extracting system comprises an extracting agent, a co-extracting agent and a diluent; the extracting agent is a mixture of sulphonamide compounds and tributyl phosphate; the co-extracting agent is ferric trichloride; the diluent is solvent gasoline or sulfonated kerosene. According to the method, the concentration of the tributyl phosphate is reduced, so that the dissolving amount of brine in the tributyl phosphate is reduced; a water-in-oil phenomenon is improved; the product impurity is improved; during a back-extraction process of the materials, the hydrolysis capacity of the materials is reduced by acidity, so that the loss of an oil phase in repeated extracting processes is reduced, and meanwhile, the lithium extraction yield in the prior art is achieved, operation is easy in the extracting process, and industrial production is facilitated.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for extracting lithium salt from brine of a high-magnesium-lithium ratio salt lake by using a solvent extraction method. Background technique [0002] my country is a country with a large amount of lithium resources, and its proven reserves of lithium resources rank second in the world, second only to Bolivia. The salt lake lithium resources in the Qaidam Basin in Qinghai are very rich, ranking first in the country. The main feature of the lithium-rich salt lake in Qinghai is the high content of associated magnesium, and the magnesium / lithium ratio in the brine is as high as 40-1200. Because the chemical properties of magnesium and lithium are very similar, it is very difficult to separate and extract lithium, which has long restricted the development of lithium extraction industry in Qinghai brine. [0003] Solvent extraction is a lithium extraction technology that has been studied more in China. It has the advantag...
