AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

In the prior art, the method of leaching lithium from the α-spentum phase has a high-temperature roasting process, which consumes a lot of energy and is not economical, and there is limited literature on the recycling of α-spentum Li.

Method used

Using a method, it comprises heating a mixture of lithium-containing material and a solid calciner to form a solid composition comprising a water-soluble phase and a water-insoluble phase, and then suspending the composition in a water aliquot, dissolving the water-soluble phase and recovering lithium. The process is carried out at a temperature of about 100°C to less than 850°C, avoiding high temperature roasting.

Benefits of technology

It realizes efficient and economical extraction of lithium from α-spentium, reduces energy consumption, improves lithium recovery, and has a more environmentally friendly process.

Abstract

Disclosed herein is a method for recovering lithium from a lithium-containing material. More specifically, the method disclosed herein comprises: heating the lithium-containing material with a solid roasting agent; forming an aqueous suspension to allow leaching of at least a portion of the lithium into water; separating a liquid phase and a solid phase; and then exposing the collected solid phase to an acid to allow acid leaching of the remaining amount of lithium.
