Abstract

The invention discloses a method for preparing lithium hydroxide and lithium carbonate by utilizing a soluble lithium-salt solution. The method comprises the following steps: the soluble lithium-salt solution is used as a raw material to produce the battery-level lithium hydroxide, and a lithium hydroxide solution is utilized to produce the high-purity lithium carbonate. The method is characterized in that various soluble lithium-salt solutions (the lithium solutions are expressed as LiX in the description) can be utilized, and a bipolar membrane electrodialyzer is applied to treat the soluble lithium-salt solutions, so that a higher-concentration LiOH solution and a corresponding HX acidic solution are obtained; the HX acidic solution returns to a previous-stage process for preparing the lithium salt solution; and the LiOH solution is subjected to evaporation concentration and crystallization to obtain the battery-level lithium hydroxide solid, and the produced lithium hydroxide solution can be further reacted with a carbon dioxide gas through a gas-liquid reactor, so that the high-purity lithium carbonate is obtained. The method can realize continuous stable production with low energy consumption, free pollution and large scale, and realize low-cost and high-efficiency manufacture of the battery-level lithium hydroxide and the high-purity lithium carbonate.
