Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application relates to a detection technology of inorganic salts, and in particular to a detection reagent for high-purity lithium carbonate and a rapid detection method. BACKGROUND

[0002] Raw material sources of lithium carbonate include lithium mica ore, spodumene ore, waste batteries and salt lake brine, etc. Lithium carbonate obtained by processing solid minerals may contain impurities such as lead, copper, cobalt, nickel, iron, aluminum, calcium, magnesium, potassium, etc. In lithium carbonate products produced by using salt lake brine, sodium, magnesium, chlorine, boron and other salt components are main impurities. One of the main production areas of salt lake lithium products in China is the salt lake mining area in the Qaidam Basin of Qinghai Province. In the Qaidam salt lake mining area, old salt lake brine after potassium extraction from chloride type or sulfate type salt lake brine is mainly used for lithium extraction production. Under the production process conditions of lithium extraction from old salt lake brine, soluble magnesium salts such as magnesium chloride or magnesium sulfate are the main impurities. These impurities also affect the quality of the final product in the subsequent lithium salt refining and high-purity lithium carbonate production process. Therefore, if real-time tracking and preliminary screening rapid detection of product quality is required during production, the detection of magnesium impurities becomes an important means to evaluate the quality of this type of lithium carbonate product.

[0003] High-value utilization of lithium products is an important guarantee for deep development of salt lake lithium resources, and refining and producing high-purity lithium carbonate products is an important part of it. In the purification and refining of salt lake lithium carbonate, real-time detection of magnesium and other impurities is very important for process control and product quality control. However, the detection of impurities in lithium carbonate is often complex and slow. For example, the detection methods of trace magnesium and other impurities in lithium carbonate include chemical analysis, ion chromatography, inductively coupled plasma emission spectrometry, etc. In practical application, the detection limit is often high, the pretreatment procedure is complicated, and the detection time is generally several minutes to several hours. This time-consuming detection method makes it difficult to respond in a timely manner during the lithium carbonate refining process.

[0004] Compared with chemical analysis, ion chromatography, inductively coupled plasma emission spectrometry and other methods, the fluorescence probe method is suitable for the detection of trace salt components and has the characteristics of high sensitivity, good selectivity and fast response speed, which has certain advantages for the rapid detection of trace magnesium in high-purity lithium carbonate. For example, fluorescence probes based on diarylethylene derivatives, 3-hydroxy-4-pyridyl isoquinoline, and pyrazine hydrazone can realize the detection of impurity magnesium in high-purity lithium carbonate. However, these probes need to be detected in organic solvents, so although the response speed is very fast in the direct detection link, the sample still needs to be pretreated in the organic phase for a long time before detection, which means that the rapid detection of high-purity lithium carbonate cannot be realized in fact.

[0005] One of the representative routes for preparing high-purity lithium carbonate from salt lake brine is the production process of magnesium sulfate sub-type salt lake brine: a large amount of old salt lake brine is left after potassium extraction from magnesium sulfate sub-type salt lake brine, from which high-purity lithium carbonate products can be extracted and further purified by methods such as crystallization, extraction, adsorption, membrane separation, etc. In high-purity lithium carbonate prepared from old salt lake brine, magnesium and other salt components are mostly water-soluble and fast-dissolving impurities, so if the quality inspection can be realized in a water-soluble environment, the detection process does not need to be time-consuming for organic phase pretreatment of lithium carbonate, which will greatly improve the detection efficiency of lithium carbonate products. On this basis, the production process of high-purity lithium carbonate will have the advantages of high process efficiency, strong quality guarantee, and fast process response, which can track the product quality in real time and ensure the product quality. However, in the research and development of fluorescent probe detection technology, the fluorescent probe based on organic phase operation is still the main form of the probe, and the rapid detection of trace salt components in the water environment requires the development of water-soluble fluorescent probe detection reagents and the development of corresponding water environment rapid detection methods. SUMMARY

[0006] In view of the above problems, the present application develops a water-soluble fluorescent probe detection reagent, which has the ability to rapidly respond to magnesium ions in an aqueous solution, and can be used for rapid detection of lithium carbonate. A rapid detection method for high-purity lithium carbonate is developed. Compared with other fluorescent probe detection reagents that can detect lithium carbonate products, the fluorescent probe detection reagent of the present application has the characteristic of water solubility, so it does not need to be pretreated before detection. Compared with other detection methods for high-purity lithium carbonate, the present application is characterized by simultaneous detection in a water-soluble environment and simple and rapid detection. The detection method of the present application is based on the use of a fluorescence spectrophotometer, but the measured fluorescence spectrum is a lithium carbonate aqueous solution system, which is different from the traditional fluorescence spectrum test of the organic solution phase system of lithium carbonate in terms of detection steps, etc.

[0007] In order to achieve the above purpose, the present application adopts the following technical solutions:
