Problems solved by technology

This method is currently the main method for preparing lithium hydroxide monohydrate, but this method needs to consume a lot of energy in the process of low-temperature cooling and crystallization. In addition, the obtained lithium hydroxide monohydrate needs to undergo multiple crystallizations to obtain monohydrate with high purity. Lithium hydroxide, and this method will produce a large amount of waste salt, waste more water resources, and the utilization rate of lithium ore resources is low, which cannot meet the requirements of the era of low-carbon environmental protection and green economic development

Abstract

The invention relates to the field of chemical products. The invention provides a method for preparing lithium hydroxide monohydrate from a spodumene sulfuric acid leaching solution. The method comprises the following steps: impurities are purified and removed from a lithium sulfate leaching solution; according to the method, the bipolar membrane electrodialysis treatment is directly carried out to prepare the battery-grade lithium hydroxide monohydrate, so that the usage amount of caustic soda is reduced when the lithium hydroxide monohydrate is prepared from lithium sulfate by virtue of a causticization method in a traditional method, a low-temperature freeze-out link is omitted, resources and energy sources are saved, and meanwhile, the production cost can be reduced; the lithium hydroxide monohydrate prepared by the method provided by the invention is relatively high in purity and can meet the requirements of battery-grade lithium hydroxide monohydrate. In addition, in the method provided by the invention, the by-product sulfuric acid aqueous solution containing lithium sulfate generated by bipolar membrane electrolysis can be effectively utilized, so that the emission of wastes is reduced, and resources can be fully utilized.

Description

Technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of chemical products, in particular to a method for preparing lithium hydroxide monohydrate from a spodumene sulfuric acid leaching solution. Background technique [0002] Lithium hydroxide has a wide range of uses in petroleum, chemical raw materials, battery industry, defense industry, atomic energy and aerospace industry. The current methods for preparing lithium hydroxide are generally sodium carbonate pressure leaching method and causticizing method. [0003] The sodium carbonate pressure leaching method is to grind the transformed spodumene concentrate and mix it with sodium carbonate, then leaching at 200°C, and introducing CO 2 Forms soluble LiHCO 3 , Filter to remove the residue, then add refined lime milk, the reaction solution is concentrated and crystallized to obtain lithium hydroxide monohydrate. However, in the preparation process, the sodium carbonate is leached through high temperature and high pressure, an...
