Description

Technical field:

[0001] The invention relates to the application field of comprehensive recovery and utilization of valuable metals in chemical solid waste, and specifically to a method for preparing lithium carbonate from lithium-containing chemical solid waste. Background technology:

[0002] In recent years, the national economy has developed by leaps and bounds. In the industrial field, industrial production will inevitably produce a large amount of solid waste, which is piled up like a mountain, seriously affecting people's survival and living environment. Now the development of new materials and new energy industries is in full swing, especially chemical solid waste containing lithium elements has also become a kind of available resource. At present, most of the lithium ions recovered in my country are waste lithium batteries, which are mainly recycled by hydrometallurgical methods. Generally, the waste lithium ion batteries are discharged, crushed, sorted and other pre-treatment steps, and then the waste is leached by an acid solution + reducing agent method. After the leachate is treated with impurities, the nickel, cobalt and manganese elements are first recovered by extraction, and finally the lithium element is recovered. At present, there is no method for extracting lithium ions from chemical solid waste containing lithium ions to prepare lithium carbonate, or there is no industrialized, low-cost and efficient method for extracting lithium ions from chemical solid waste containing lithium ions.

[0003] For example, Chinese patent publication number CN114634192A discloses a method and device for recycling black powder from waste lithium-ion batteries, which uses black powder from waste lithium-ion batteries to recover lithium. Specifically, the black powder is added to a solvent and stirred to form a slurry, and then oxygen, sulfur dioxide, and a first inorganic acid solution are added to the slurry for reaction. The slurry after the reaction is filtered to obtain iron phosphate and a first solution; wherein, the first recyclable material includes lithium ions; a soluble carbonate is added to the first solution for reaction, and lithium carbonate is obtained by filtering, and the remainder is a second solution. On the one hand, this invention cannot produce high-quality cathode material precursors, and solvent extraction must be used to separate the leached metals; on the other hand, the lithium concentration contained in the raffinate obtained is low.

[0004] For example, the Chinese patent publication number CN114574705A discloses a method for leaching and separating lithium and valuable metals from waste lithium-ion batteries. The specific steps are as follows: the ternary powder waste containing positive and negative electrodes is evenly mixed with sulfuric acid and deionized water by ball milling, and after two-stage calcination, lithium is directly leached with water or alkali, and valuable metals are extracted by acid leaching. On the one hand, the invention still uses waste lithium batteries as raw materials to prepare lithium carbonate; on the other hand, it does not provide a detailed and feasible solution from an industrial perspective to economically and efficiently extract lithium elements and prepare lithium carbonate.

[0005] The present invention aims at chemical solid waste after industrial production, and adopts an industrial smelting pyrometallurgy-high temperature calcination method to recover lithium ions. The process flow is short and easy to operate. The prepared lithium carbonate meets the requirements of Li2CO3-0 in industrial-grade lithium carbonate GB / T11075-2003. The byproduct potassium sulfate produced in the process can be recycled and utilized, and the resource utilization rate of solid waste is high. At the same time, if the potassium sulfate is not used in the recovery process of the present invention, it also meets the agricultural potassium sulfate standard and can generate other added value. Summary of the invention:

[0008] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the solution of the present application, the technical solution in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0009] The present invention is to provide a method for preparing lithium carbonate from lithium-containing chemical solid waste, wherein the main chemical components of the lithium-containing chemical solid waste are Al2O3≥27.79%, SiO2≥22.59, CaO≥19.89, SO3≥9.58, Fe2O3≥4.63, K2O≥3.69, MgO≥2.31, NaO≥0.83, Li2O≥0.45, Cl - ≥0.22, loss on ignition ≥8.26;

[0010] The following process steps are adopted:

[0011] 1) Mixing ingredients: mixing the lithium-containing chemical solid waste crushed to 60-100 mesh and the calcined additive to obtain a mixture;

[0012] 2) Calcination crystal phase transformation: the mixed material obtained in step 1) is placed in a rotary kiln and calcined at 1000-1050° C. for 2-4 hours to obtain calcined clinker;

[0013] 3) Ball milling leaching: the calcined clinker obtained in step 2) and a lithium ion solution with a concentration of less than 5 g / L are placed in a ball mill in a certain proportion, and ball milled for 2-3 hours at room temperature to obtain a mixed slurry;

[0014] 4) Filtration separation: placing the mixed slurry obtained in step 3) in a belt filter, washing it several times after leaching, and stopping washing when the lithium ion mass concentration in the filter residue is less than or equal to 0.06wt%, to obtain filtrate A;

[0015] 5) filtrate impurity removal: add 35% potassium hydroxide solution to the filtrate A obtained in step 4) until the pH value is above 12, filter to remove metal ions, and obtain a purified filtrate;

[0016] 6) Freezing precipitation and impurity removal: The purified filtrate obtained in step 5) is evaporated, concentrated and crystallized until potassium sulfate crystals are precipitated, then cooled to -5-5°C and frozen for 2 hours, and then centrifuged to separate potassium sulfate to obtain a lithium-rich solution;

[0017] 7) Lithium precipitation: With the lithium-rich solution in step 5) as the base solution, potassium carbonate solution is added dropwise while stirring, and after the addition is completed, the mixture is reacted at 95-100° C. for 2-3 hours, and then centrifuged to obtain a lithium carbonate product.

[0018] The ignition loss is obtained by calcining at 1050°.

[0019] Step 1) The calcination additive components are potassium sulfate and ferric sulfate, and the mass ratio of potassium sulfate and ferric sulfate to lithium-containing chemical solid waste is lithium-containing solid waste: potassium sulfate: ferric sulfate = 70:25:5.

[0020] The certain proportion in step 3) means that after the calcined clinker is mixed with the lithium ion solution with a concentration lower than 5 g / L, the liquid-to-solid mass ratio in the ball mill is 1:1.

[0021] In step 4), the mass concentration of filtrate A is controlled to be greater than or equal to 5 g / L. If the mass concentration of filtrate A is lower than 5 g / L, filtrate A is subjected to step 3) again to increase the mass concentration of filtrate A.

[0022] The potassium sulfate separated by centrifugation in step 6) is dried and recycled as a calcination additive.

[0023] In step 7), the mass concentration of potassium carbonate is 270-280 g / L, and after the lithium-rich solution is dripped with potassium carbonate, the molar ratio of carbonate ions to lithium ions is controlled. It is 8-9:4.

[0024] The solution after centrifugal separation in step 7) is acidified and neutralized with sulfuric acid until the pH value is 6-7, and then added back into filtrate A to carry out step 5) to enrich lithium element.

[0025] The amount of lithium contained in the lithium-containing chemical solid waste generally refers to lithium-containing chemical solid waste with Li2O≥0.45 but less than 1. After adopting the above-mentioned process method of the present invention, lithium elements with high economic value can be extracted to the maximum extent from lithium-containing chemical solid waste with Li2O≥0.45, thereby realizing the recycling of industrial solid waste materials and being environmentally friendly.

[0026] The present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0027] 1. It fills the gap in extracting lithium from lithium-containing industrial solid waste materials and greatly improves the recycling of industrial solid waste materials.

[0028] 2. Compared with the traditional hydrometallurgy used to extract lithium, the smelting fire method-high temperature calcination method is adopted, and the freezing method is used to precipitate other metal ions to increase the lithium content.

[0029] 3. The actual ratio of carbonate ions to lithium ions is slightly higher than the theoretical value, which improves the purification rate of lithium elements without wasting potassium sulfate raw materials.

[0030] 4. Potassium sulfate and other materials precipitated during the preparation of lithium carbonate can be repeatedly used in industrial production, which is conducive to saving resources. Description of the drawings:
