Problems solved by technology

The main disadvantages of the sulfuric acid method are ① a large amount of sulfuric acid is required during leaching, and a large amount of aluminum elements are taken in and out, resulting in a large amount of neutralized slag and low production efficiency; ② the leaching time is long, requiring more than 8 hours, and the energy consumption is high; , hydrofluoric acid volatilizes, which is extremely corrosive to equipment and not friendly to the environment
[0008] The advantage of the sulfate method is that the roasting conversion rate is higher in the early stage, but sodium sulfate, potassium sulfate and lithium sulfate are easy to form double salts in the solution, resulting in lower yield and efficiency in the later stage

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for extracting lithium salt from lithium ore. The method comprises the steps as follows: performing material mixing, roasting, water extraction, concentration, separation of sodium, potassium, rubidium and cesium, purification and impurity removal, lithium precipitation, washing, drying and fine grinding to obtain battery-grade lithium carbonate; performing neutralization, concentration, separation of sodium, potassium, rubidium and cesium, washing and drying on primary lithium precipitation mother liquor to obtain industrial-grade or battery-grade lithium carbonate; returning obtained secondary mother liquor to be mixed with the primary lithium precipitation mother liquor to form a closed loop. The method has better leaching effects on various content of lithium, sodium, potassium, rubidium and cesium in lithium ore, the lithium leaching rate in spodumene reaches 99%, and the leaching rates of rubidium and cesium in lepidolite are larger than 99%; recovery rate of lithium later is larger than 97% and the total yield of lithium is larger than 91%. Byproducts can be reused, and the method is environmentally friendly due to the fact that fluorine is fixed in slag, adopts a short technological process, is low in cost and has good industrial promotion value.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a process for extracting lithium salt, which is suitable for extracting and preparing lithium salt by using lithium ore as a raw material, and belongs to the technical field of rare metal extraction. Background technique [0002] Lithium salts, especially lithium carbonate, are widely used in glass, ceramics, lubricants and other fields, and are also widely used in high-tech fields such as lithium batteries, nuclear energy, aerospace and other fields. Especially in recent years, with the rapid development of the new energy automobile industry, large-scale energy storage equipment, 3C equipment, and wearable equipment, the demand for lithium carbonate in the global market is increasing year by year. [0003] The global lithium resources can be divided into ore and brine resources, among which the ore resources are mainly spodumene, lepidolite, lapidolite, and lithium feldspar. my country is mainly rich in spodumene and spodumen...
