Abstract

The invention discloses a method for preparing battery-grade lithium carbonate by using lepidolite as a raw material. The method comprises the following steps: carrying out solid-phase reaction on concentrated sulfuric acid and lepidolite at medium and low temperatures, and leaching with water to dissolve sulfuric acid alkali metal salt; respectively separating out aluminum rubidium cesium sulfate alum salt, aluminum potassium sulfate alum salt and the like in different temperature intervals by adopting a method of adding different crystallization inducers to continuously induce crystallization and remove impurities; adopting potassium hydroxide for neutralization, crystallization and impurity removal to obtain aluminum hydroxide and potassium sulfate, applying the aluminum hydroxide for neutralizing excessive sulfuric acid, and supplementing the potassium sulfate to obtain the aluminum potassium sulfate alum salt; and finally, reacting the obtained lithium hydroxide solution with carbon dioxide to prepare battery-grade lithium carbonate. According to the method, potassium hydroxide and aluminum hydroxide are used as neutralizing reagents and potassium sulfate is used as a crystallization impurity removal reagent, so that impurity ions such as calcium and magnesium are not introduced into the production process; and finally, the obtained lithium hydroxide solution reacts with carbon dioxide to prepare the battery-grade lithium carbonate, and a major breakthrough in the technology of preparing the battery-grade lithium carbonate from lepidolite through a one-step method is achieved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of nonferrous metal smelting, in particular to a method for preparing battery-grade lithium carbonate from lepidolite. Background technique [0002] Lepidolite is an important mineral resource, and its chemical composition is K{Li 2-x al 1+x [Al 2x Si 4-2x o 10 ](OH,F) 2}(x=0-0.5), it is a basic aluminosilicate of potassium and lithium, which is a kind of mica minerals, and it is rich in rare metal materials, such as lithium, potassium, rubidium, cesium, aluminum, etc. As the world's energy becomes increasingly tense, the development and utilization of new energy is a common issue in the world, and more and more countries are paying attention to it; Lithium and its salts, lithium carbonate, lithium sulfate and other salts are the basic raw materials for the lithium battery new energy industry, and Lepidolite contains lithium metal, the basic material of lithium battery new energy industry, so the devel...
