Problems solved by technology

This method needs to be frozen and then heated and evaporated in the whole production process. Not only the investment in evaporators and refrigeration equipment is large, but the energy consumption is high; At the same time, the surface of the sodium salt separated from the high-concentration lithium hydroxide solution during freezing will also take away a considerable part of lithium, resulting in a decrease in the yield of lithium.

Abstract

The invention provides a method for preparing lithium hydroxide from lithium-containing low-magnesium brine, and relates to the technical field of salt lake lithium extracting. The method comprises the following steps: adjusting the pH value of the lithium-containing low-magnesium brine to be more than 10 by adopting an inorganic base to precipitate calcium and magnesium to obtain calcium and magnesium removed lithium-containing brine; extracting lithium in the calcium and magnesium removed lithium-containing brine by adopting an organic extracting agent to obtain raffinate containing sodium and potassium and a lithium-containing loaded organic phase; carrying out reverse extracting on the lithium-containing loaded organic phase by using an inorganic acid solution to obtain a lithium saltsolution; purifying the lithium salt solution and then electrolyzing to obtain a lithium hydroxide solution; and concentrating and crystallizing the lithium hydroxide solution to obtain lithium hydroxide and lithium hydroxide precipitation mother liquor. The method disclosed by the invention is simple and convenient to operate, high in lithium hydroxide product yield, high in purity, high in material cyclic utilization rate, low in cost, capable of continuously preparing the lithium hydroxide, and particularly suitable for extracting lithium from salt lakes of Tibet, Qinghai and South America,which are remote in geographical position, high in raw material transportation cost and low in photovoltaic power generation and energy storage cost.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of lithium extraction from salt lakes, in particular to a method for preparing lithium hydroxide from lithium-containing low-magnesium brine. Background technique [0002] At present, lithium is widely used in various fields such as lithium batteries, glass, ceramics, alloys, lubricants, and medicine. According to the source of lithium resources, it can be divided into brine type and ore type. Lithium extraction from ores is the process of beneficiation, high-temperature calcination, leaching, purification, concentration and precipitation of ores such as spodumene, lepidolite, lithium feldspar and hectorite. These processes require high energy consumption. Lithium extraction from ores The overall cost of lithium extraction from ore is relatively high, and the price of lithium salt for lithium extraction from ore is difficult to further decrease. Unlike ore resources, there are dissolved lithium ions in bri...
