Problems solved by technology

[0005] Disclosed in the Chinese patent application 01128816.7 is a method of separating magnesium and lithium from high-magnesium-lithium ratio salt lake brine by carbonization to produce lithium carbonate. The method is to evaporate and separate out potassium-magnesium mixed salt, In the old brine after deboronation, alkali is added to precipitate magnesium and lithium in the form of hydroxide, carbonate, phosphate, or oxalate, and the precipitate is calcined and decomposed, and then carbonized or carbonated , so that lithium dissolves into the solution, magnesium remains in the precipitate, so as to achieve the separation of magnesium and lithium, and then carry out deep removal of impurities on the lithium-rich solution, followed by evaporation and concentration or precipitation with soda ash to prepare lithium carbonate, the cost will also be very high

Abstract

A process for preparing the low-Mg high-Li bitter from the raw bittern of salt lake includes sunning the raw bittern in salt pan and one-stage or multi-stage electric dialyzing by use of selective ion exchange membrane.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for separating magnesium and recovering lithium from a solution, in particular to a method for separating magnesium and concentrating lithium from lithium-containing salt lake brine and concentrated lithium-containing old brine in salt fields. Background technique [0002] Lithium ions coexist with a large amount of alkali metals and alkaline earth metals. To economically recover lithium from the natural multi-water salt system with high magnesium-lithium ratio salt lake brine depends not only on the concentration of lithium but also on the concentration of magnesium and calcium ions. Due to the similar chemical properties of magnesium and lithium, the separation of magnesium and lithium is difficult. Lithium extraction from brine produced abroad is limited to brine with low magnesium concentration, and the ratio of magnesium to lithium is less than 6:1, while the ratio of magnesium to lithium in Qinghai Salt Lake brin...
