Abstract

The invention belongs to the technical field of nonferrous metal extraction. The invention provides a method for efficiently extracting lithium from lithium-rich aluminum electrolyte waste residues and preparing anhydrous aluminum fluoride. According to the method, HF gas generated by curing and volatilizing concentrated sulfuric acid is subjected to dust removal and impurity removal and then directly makes contact with an aluminum-loaded organic phase to prepare anhydrous AlF3, the purity of the synthesized anhydrous AlF3 is high, the prepared anhydrous AlF3 can be returned to the aluminum electrolysis process to serve as a cosolvent, and cyclic utilization of aluminum and fluorine is achieved. According to the method, the lithium resource in the lithium-rich aluminum electrolyte waste residues is recycled in the form of Li2CO3, the recycling rate is high, the product purity is high, and high economic benefits are achieved. According to the method, sodium dimethyl dithiocarbamate solution is used as a precipitator to deeply purify and remove calcium, magnesium and aluminum, the impurity element removal effect is thorough, and raw materials are prepared for the step of precipitating lithium in sodium carbonate. In the treatment process of the lithium-rich aluminum electrolyte waste residues, various components can be efficiently recycled, and new pollution is not generated while waste materials are fully recycled.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of extraction of nonferrous metals, in particular to a method for efficiently extracting lithium and preparing anhydrous aluminum fluoride from lithium-rich aluminum electrolyte waste residue. Background technique [0002] The proven reserves of lithium resources in the world are 21 million tons. At present, the raw materials for extracting lithium resources at home and abroad mainly come from salt lake brine and spodumene. The high Li content in alumina leads to long-term accumulation of Li in the electrolyte of aluminum electrolytic cells using this type of alumina raw material, and its concentration can reach 1.0-2.7% (based on Li + ), resulting in a decrease in the dissolving capacity of alumina in the electrolytic cell, a decrease in current efficiency, and an increase in energy consumption. At the same time, compared with traditional lithium ore resources (Li in lepidolite 2 O 3.2%–6.45%), aluminum e...
