Problems solved by technology

[0006] Although the lithium and potassium content in high-lithium and high-potassium electrolytes for aluminum electrolysis is as high as 7-10% or even higher, there are not many studies on the recovery and extraction of lithium and potassium from high-lithium and high-potassium electrolytes.

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for recovering lithium and potassium from high-lithium-potassium anode carbon residues or high-lithium-potassium electrolytes. The method comprises the following stepsthat (1) the high-lithium-potassium anode carbon residues or the high-lithium-potassium electrolytes are finely ground as raw materials, mixed with a concentrated sulfuric acid solution, and heated to 280-500 DEG C for reacting; (2) water is added into the reacted materials for leaching, and primary filtrate is filtered and separated out; (3) the pH value is adjusted to be equal to 6-8 when the temperature of the primary filtrate is less than or equal to 30 DEG C, and secondary filtrate is obtained through filtering and separating; (4) the secondary filtrate is cooled to minus 5 DEG C to-minus 10 DEG C, and Na2SO4 is separated out; third filtrate is filtered and separated out; (5) after the third filtrate is heated to 90-100 DEG C or boiled, Na2CO3 is added and Li2CO3 is precipitated andseparated out, and the Li2CO3 and fourth filtrate are filtered and separated out; and (6) the fourth filtrate is cooled to minus 5 DEG C to-minus 10 DEG C, and Na2SO4 is precipitated out, a K2SO4 solution is filtered to separated out, and a K2SO4.xH2O product or a K2SO4 product is obtained by concentrating or dehydrating. The method is low in process flow cost and convenient to operate, almost does not generate new pollution while the waste is fully recovered, and has a good popularization prospect.

Description

technical field [0001] The technical field of aluminum electrolysis and waste recycling of the present invention, in particular relates to a method for reclaiming lithium and potassium from high-lithium-potassium anode carbon slag or high-lithium-potassium electrolyte. Background technique [0002] In the process of industrial aluminum electrolysis production, Al 2 o 3 It is the raw material for aluminum electrolysis. The electrolysis cell uses carbon anode made of petroleum coke. In the aluminum electrolysis cell, aluminum electrolysis Al 2 o 3 The chemical reaction for producing metal aluminum is: [0003] 2Al 2 o 3 +3C→4Al+3CO 2 . [0004] In the aluminum electrolytic production process, when the raw material Al used 2 o 3 Contains CaO, when Al is produced, these impurities are transformed into CaF2 and enter the electrolyte; therefore, the CaF in the electrolyte 2 It is usually not artificially added; in my country, some electrolytic aluminum plants also use Li...
