Abstract

The invention relates to a method for lithium extraction through extraction-reverse extraction, separation and purification. The method comprises the following steps: (1) an extracting system containing a composite extracting agent is adopted to extract and separate lithium-contained solution under a condition of pH=10-13 to obtain a lithium-loaded organic phase; (2) the gas-liquid-liquid three-phase reverse extraction is performed on the lithium-loaded organic phase obtained in the step (1) to obtain lithium-loaded reverse extracting liquid; and (3) the reverse extracting liquid obtained in the step (2) is heated and separated to obtain a lithium product and separated mother liquor. The method realizes efficient separation of lithium from such impurity elements as Na, K and B by adoptingthe composite extracting agent, adopts the gas-liquid-liquid three-phase continuous reverse extraction to reach the reverse extracting rate of lithium is 90% above, the total yield is 83% or above andthe purity of the lithium product is 96% above, is high in treatment quantity, simple in process and equipment and low in investment, effectively utilizes industrial tail gas, and achieves energy conservation, environmental protection and continuous production.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of chemical separation, in particular to an extraction-back extraction, separation, purification, and lithium extraction method. Background technique [0002] Lithium is the metal with the smallest density and is widely used in electronics, chemistry, new energy and pharmaceuticals. Lithium resources mainly come from salt lakes, minerals and seawater. With the advancement of waste resources reuse in recent years, waste lithium batteries have also become important source. The process of extracting lithium from these raw materials requires multiple purification steps. In the classic process, evaporation and concentration, separation and removal of impurities, and deep removal of calcium and magnesium ions are used to obtain a high-purity lithium-containing solution, and then the lithium-containing solution is precipitated. Lithium carbonate product is obtained. [0003] CN108423696A discloses a method for ex...
