Problems solved by technology

In general, direct leaching with mineral acids is inefficient and usually requires pretreatment
In the leaching process, leaching at high temperature and inorganic acid will cause increased energy consumption, generate hydrogen fluoride gas to corrode equipment, and acid leaching at room temperature will produce hydrofluoric acid, which will also corrode equipment. The alkali neutralizes the inorganic acid, and the economic benefit is low

Abstract

The invention relates to a recycling treatment method of a lithium-rich aluminum electrolyte. Firstly, a product A is obtained by heat-treating the lithium-rich aluminum electrolyte to be treated; the roasted product A is leached in water by using a water-soluble inorganic salt as a leaching agent, and then filtered to obtain a filter residue B and filtrate B; add alkali or its aqueous solution in filtrate B, remove the aluminum ion in filtrate B, obtain filtrate C; add water-soluble carbonate or its aqueous solution in filtrate C, make the lithium ion in filtrate C convert into carbonic acid After lithium precipitation, filter to obtain lithium carbonate and filtrate D. The invention solves the technical problem that the high lithium-rich content in the excess aluminum electrolyte and the ineffective use of valuable metals currently plague the aluminum electrolysis industry, improves economic benefits, and promotes the stable production of electrolytic aluminum enterprises.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a recycling treatment method of a lithium-rich aluminum electrolyte, in particular to a recycling treatment method of an acidic lithium-rich aluminum electrolyte, and belongs to the technical field of metallurgical waste treatment. Background technique [0002] In recent years, some electrolytic aluminum enterprises in my country have faced high lithium impurities contained in alumina raw materials, which have continuously accumulated in the aluminum electrolyte, resulting in a corresponding substantial increase in the lithium content in the aluminum electrolyte. It is generally believed that the enrichment amount of lithium salt at 1~3wt% is beneficial to reduce the primary crystal temperature of the aluminum electrolyte, and the enrichment amount above 5wt% will affect the condition of the aluminum electrolytic cell to a certain extent, and the enrichment amount of lithium salt in some electrolytic aluminum enterprises Even r...
