Problems solved by technology

However, the patent only limits the stock solution to salt lake brine with a magnesium-lithium ratio of 1 to 300 and the concentrated brine obtained by evaporation; when the lithium content in the stock solution is lower than 0.1M, in order to avoid concentration polarization, the equipment can only be used at low load Lower operation, resulting in low production efficiency and high equipment investment
[0007] In short, the existing technology cannot continuously and stably realize the separation of magnesium and lithium and the concentration of lithium at a

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for preparing lithium chloride concentrate by using eluent of adsorptive lithium extraction as raw material; adsorptive lithium extraction eluent having magnesium-lithium ratio of 0.5-10 and lithium content of 150-2500 mg/L is used as a raw liquid, the raw liquid is subjected to reverse osmosis, pre-concentration is then carried out to obtain lithium content of 1700-7000 mg/L, reverse osmosis concentrate is used as electrodialysis desalination stock liquid, the stock liquid is treated with a monovalent ion selective exchange membrane to obtain lithium chloride concentrate having lithium content of 14 g/L and magnesium-lithium ratio of 0.1-1 and suitable for high-purity lithium salts, such as lithium carbonate and lithium chloride; reverse osmosis fresh water is reclaimed for cyclic use in the desorption step of adsorptive lithium extraction; electrodialysis desalination produced water is returned for cyclic use in the adsorbing step, and therefore concentrative enrichment of lithium in eluent and full reclaiming of water are achieved. The method is simple to perform, has a continuous process and is low in investment and low in cost, and the bottleneck problem with magnesium removal and concentration of salt lake adsorptive lithium extraction eluent with high magnesium-lithium ratio is basically solved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of separation and purification of rare metal inorganic salt solutions, in particular to a method for concentrating and enriching lithium in feed liquid in the process of adsorption and extraction of lithium by adopting membrane separation technology. Background technique [0002] New energy metal lithium is an important strategic resource for human beings in the new era. The demand for basic lithium salt products such as lithium carbonate, lithium chloride, and lithium hydroxide is growing rapidly at home and abroad. Lithium mainly exists in nature in two forms of solid ore and liquid ore, of which the amount of lithium resources in brine accounts for about 2 / 3, and lithium extraction from brine is the main source of the global lithium market. The economical extraction of lithium from this type of system depends not only on the concentration of lithium, but also on the content of magnesium and calcium ions. At the sam...
