Abstract

The invention provides a method of producing battery-grade lithium carbonate through a sulfuric acid process and belongs to the technical field of battery-grade lithium carbonate preparation. The method includes: transform-roasting, acidify-roasting, leaching, purifying, lithium-setting, washing, drying, and smashing. A circulatory leaching mode is adopted, so that lithium concentration in leachate can be increased effectively, and high-concentration lithium-containing leachate can be produced directly; evaporation and concentration are not needed, and lithium setting can be directly performedafter purifying to produce lithium carbonate. The high-concentration lithium-containing leachate can be obtained through circulatory leaching, so that requirements of lithium setting on high-concentration lithium can be met without increasing calcium ion concentration in purified liquid, and product quality is improved effectively. By adopting the method, using of triple-effect high-temperature evaporation equipment can be avoided, so that energy conservation and consumption reduction are realized, equipment investment cost is lowered, technological processes are simplified, and battery-gradelithium carbonate produced by the method is stable and high in quality and environment-friendly.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of battery-grade lithium carbonate preparation, in particular to a method for producing battery-grade lithium carbonate by a sulfuric acid method. Background technique [0002] According to the process for preparing lithium carbonate in the existing industrial production, a high concentration lithium sulfate solution is required to participate in the reaction in the lithium carbonate lithium sinking reaction process. The high-concentration lithium sulfate solution is obtained after the low-concentration lithium sulfate solution is evaporated and concentrated at high temperature. In the process of extracting lithium from ore, lithium ore is leached after high-temperature roasting and acidification roasting. Whether it is neutral leaching or acid leaching, the concentration of lithium oxide in the obtained leachate is low, so after the impurity removal process, must be carried out Concentrated by evaporation....
