Abstract

The invention belongs to the field of electrochemical lithium extraction, and particularly relates to a method for efficiently extracting lithium from clay type lithium ore by utilizing pulse voltage. The method comprises the following steps of: step 1, setting an anode region and a cathode region on two sides of the clay type lithium ore, inserting an anode into the anode region, inserting a cathode into the cathode region, and adding an intercalator near the anode; and step 2, applying the pulse voltage to the anode and the cathode, and driving lithium ions in an interlayer region of the clay type lithium ore to migrate along the direction of an electric field by utilizing the formed external electric field so as to be gradually separated from mineral particles and enter and be enriched in the cathode region. The method has the beneficial effects that the lithium can be directly extracted without pretreatment such as roasting and strong acid and high-temperature and high-pressure environments, and the method is energy-saving, environment-friendly, simple to operate, green and clean.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of electrochemical lithium extraction, and in particular relates to a method for efficiently extracting lithium from clay-type lithium ore by utilizing pulse voltage. Background technique [0002] As an important energy strategic metal, lithium plays a significant role in energy storage / power batteries, nuclear energy utilization, metal materials and other fields. Driven by multiple factors such as market demand and technological development, there has been a global upsurge in research on the geological exploration, development and utilization of lithium ore resources. [0003] There are mainly two types of solid lithium ore, pegmatite type and clay type. Among them, the industrial development of pegmatite-type spodumene and lepidolite has become increasingly mature. The main process is to calcine the minerals at a high temperature of 800-1200 °C to activate and transform them, and then use sulfuric acid to leach lit...
