Abstract

The invention discloses a method for removing lithium, purifying and recovering lithium of an aluminum electrolyte. The method comprises the following steps: (1) removing lithium and purifying the aluminum electrolyte; and (2) recycling the removed lithium, namely, evaporating and concentrating filtrate, neutralizing, purifying, recovering lithium, and preparing lithium salt. The method aims at solving the problem of energy consumption increase due to enriched lithium in the electrolyte when an electrolytic bath is used for a long term in the aluminum industry. The aluminum electrolyte treatedby the method contains not greater than 0.5% of lithium; the aluminum electrolyte can be returned into the electrolytic bath for recycling; and the removed lithium can be recycled. With the adoptionof the method, a high value-added lithium salt product can be prepared; a new lithium resource is developed, and moreover, the demand condition of the current market on a high-level lithium product isreleased; the technology progress of the country in the new energy industry and the high-level lithium application industry is promoted; and the method is obvious in social benefit, wide in raw material source, low in comprehensive cost, simple and easy in processes, clean and environmentally friendly in production processes, and high in economic and social benefits.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of aluminum electrolytic smelting, in particular to a method for delithiation, purification and lithium recovery of an aluminum electrolyte. Background technique [0002] In recent years, with the rapid development of the electrolytic aluminum industry, the demand for alumina raw materials is increasing. Due to the different mineral sources and preparation processes, domestic alumina contains Li to varying degrees. 2 O. This kind of lithium-containing alumina raw material is added to the electrolytic cell, and the lithium salt is also introduced into the aluminum electrolytic cell together, and will continue to accumulate in the electrolyte. With the extension of the age of the electrolytic cell, lithium is gradually enriched, and the content of lithium fluoride can be as high as 6-10%. In the aluminum electrolyte system, when the lithium fluoride content is 2-3%, it can reduce the initial crystal temperat...
