Embodiment 1

[0041] A: Distillation

[0042] Take 100 L of waste liquid and carry out negative pressure distillation with a vacuum of 400 mbar. The end point of distillation is controlled at a volume ratio of distillate to mother liquor of 1:1, and the distillation is stopped to obtain about 50 L of distillation mother liquor.

[0043] B: Remove impurities

[0044] Adjust the pH of the distillation mother liquor obtained in A to 12 with about 10 mol / L NaOH solution, and add NaOH at the same time 2 CO 3 After stirring for 30 min, the solid-liquid separation was carried out; the resulting clear liquid was adjusted to pH 2.0 with industrial HCl, and boiled for 30 min; the pH was adjusted to 7.0 with saturated LiOH solution to obtain a purified solution; 0.01 times the volume of H 2 o 2(mass fraction 30%) and then stirred for 30 min to obtain a colorless purification solution.

[0045] C: evaporation

[0046] The clarified solution from B was evaporated to give crude LiCl.

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for recovering lithium from lithium-containing waste liquid. The method includes the steps of distillation, impurity removal, evaporation, absolute ethyl alcohol dissolution and spray drying. Through treatment with the process steps, the lithium in the lithium-containing waste liquid can be recovered in the form of lithium chloride. According to the method, the impurity removal process is simple and practical, no new impurities are introduced, the step of repeatedly removing impurities is avoided, the number of process procedures is reduced, and cost is saved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for recovering lithium, in particular to a method for recovering lithium from lithium-containing waste liquid. Background technique [0002] Lithium, silver-white metal, element symbol Li, atomic number 3, atomic weight 6.941. Density 0.534 g / cm 3 , is the least dense metal. The melting point is 180°C and the boiling point is 1340°C. It turns yellow or black gradually in the air. It reacts violently with water to generate lithium hydroxide and hydrogen gas, reacts rapidly with dilute hydrochloric acid and dilute sulfuric acid to release hydrogen gas, reacts slowly with cold sulfuric acid, and reacts violently with nitric acid. It does not react with oxygen at room temperature, but reacts with nitrogen to form a protective lithium nitride layer. Lithium oxide is formed when heated above 100 °C, and can react with hydrogen when it is red hot. Under certain conditions, it can directly combine with halogen and sulfur...
