Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of lithium preparation, and particularly to a composite extraction solution, a method for separating lithium from thallium, and a method for extracting and preparing lithium products from lithium ores. Background Art

[0002] Thallium (Tl) is a highly toxic rare and dispersed metal element. In nature, thallium often occurs as a trace element associated with oxidized ores such as feldspar, mica, and jarosite. During the mining, ore dressing, and smelting processes of these ores, serious thallium pollution will be generated.

[0003] For example, lithium mica usually contains trace amounts of thallium elements. During the process of extracting lithium, thallium elements will enter the flue gas and lithium leaching solution. This will not only cause thallium ions to be contained in the flue gas wastewater and the mother liquor after lithium extraction, seriously affecting the environment, but also a small amount of thallium ions will be mixed in lithium products such as lithium carbonate, affecting the product quality. However, when the lithium leaching solution contains both lithium ions and thallium ions at the same time, it is very difficult for traditional extraction and other processes to separate lithium ions and thallium ions. Moreover, thallium ions are associated elements with low content, and it is very difficult to treat them below the environmental protection standards. Therefore, it is extremely difficult to deal with thallium pollution. Summary of the Invention

The composite extraction solution can selectively extract thallium ions from an acidic stock solution containing lithium ions and thallium ions, and has a very good extraction effect.

[0005] To achieve the above object, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is: a composite extraction solution, which includes an organic phosphoric acid, a phosphoric acid ester, and a diluent, and the molar ratio of the organic phosphoric acid to the phosphoric acid ester is 1:0.2 - 1:0.5. The composite extraction solution is used to selectively extract thallium ions from a stock solution containing lithium ions and thallium ions, wherein the stock solution is an acidic solution.

[0006] In one embodiment, the organic phosphoric acid is selected from at least one of 2,2'-methylenebis(4,6-di-tert-butylphenyl) phosphoric acid, bis(2-ethylhexyl) phosphoric acid, aminotrimethylenephosphonic acid, ethylenediaminetetramethylenephosphonic acid, dialkyldithiophosphinic acid, bis(2,4,4-trimethylpentyl) phosphinic acid, bis(diethyldithiophosphoric acid), di-n-butyldithiophosphoric acid, bis(2,4,4-trimethylpentyl) thiophosphoric acid, and bis(2-ethylhexyl) dithiophosphoric acid.

[0007] In one embodiment, the phosphate ester is selected from at least one of bis(2-ethylhexyl) phosphate, 2-ethylhexyl 2-ethylhexyl phosphate monoester, dibutyl dithiophosphate, tricresyl phosphate, butyldiphenyl phosphate, and trioctyl phosphate.

[0008] The present invention also provides a method for separating lithium from thallium, comprising the following steps:

[0009] Providing a stock solution containing lithium ions and thallium ions, wherein the stock solution is an acidic solution;

[0010] Extracting the stock solution with the composite extractant described above, separating phases to obtain a thallium-loaded organic phase and a lithium-containing solution, and preparing a lithium product from the lithium-containing solution;

[0011] Performing back-extraction on the thallium-loaded organic phase, separating phases to obtain a thallium-containing solution and an empty composite extractant, and preparing a thallium product from the thallium-containing solution.

[0012] In one embodiment, in the step of extracting the stock solution with the composite extractant described above, the molar ratio of the organic phosphoric acid in the composite extractant to the thallium ions in the stock solution is greater than or equal to 1.1:1;

[0013] And / or, the temperature is from -5°C to 50°C.

[0014] In one embodiment, the empty composite extractant is recycled for extracting the stock solution.

[0015] The present invention also provides a method for extracting and preparing a lithium product from lithium ore, comprising the following steps:

[0016] Preparing an acidic leaching solution of lithium ore;

[0017] Extracting the lithium ore leaching solution with the composite extractant described above, separating phases to obtain a thallium-loaded organic phase and a lithium-containing solution;

[0018] Preparing a lithium product from the lithium-containing solution.

[0019] In one embodiment, the lithium ore leaching solution is prepared by a roasting method, and the flue gas generated during the roasting process is absorbed and treated to obtain wastewater, and the wastewater is mixed into the lithium ore leaching solution.

[0020] In one embodiment, in the step of extracting the lithium ore leaching solution with the composite extractant described above, the molar ratio of the organic phosphoric acid in the composite extractant to the thallium ions in the lithium ore leaching solution is greater than or equal to 1.1:1;

[0021] And / or, the temperature is from -5°C to 50°C.

[0022] In one of the embodiments, the step further includes: performing back extraction on the thallium-loaded organic phase, separating phases to obtain a thallium-containing solution and an organic composite extract without load, and recycling the organic composite extract without load to extract the lithium ore leaching solution.

[0023] According to the ionic characteristics of thallium ions and lithium ions, by selecting organic phosphoric acid and phosphoric acid ester with a specific molar ratio as a synergistic extraction system, the present invention can selectively extract thallium ions from an acidic stock solution containing lithium ions and thallium ions, so as to selectively separate lithium ions and thallium ions, and the efficiency of selectively extracting thallium ions is very high and the effect is very good.

[0024] Therefore, in industrial production, the composite extract of the present invention can be well used for the separation of lithium and thallium. On the one hand, it can avoid or effectively reduce the inclusion of thallium ions in lithium products, affecting the quality of lithium products. On the other hand, it can avoid or effectively reduce thallium pollution to the environment. For example, when extracting and preparing lithium products from lithium ore, the composite extract of the present invention can be first used to extract and treat the lithium ore leaching solution to separate thallium ions in the lithium ore leaching solution, thereby avoiding or effectively reducing thallium pollution to the environment and improving the quality of lithium products at the same time.

[0027] For ease of understanding of the present invention, the present invention will be described more comprehensively below with reference to related embodiments. However, the present invention can be implemented in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein. On the contrary, these embodiments are provided so that the understanding of the disclosure of the present invention is more thorough and comprehensive.

[0028] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by those skilled in the technical field to which the present invention belongs. The terms used in the specification of the present invention herein are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the present invention. The term "and / or" used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the related listed items.

[0029] Due to the ionic characteristics of lithium ions and thallium ions, it is difficult to separate the two with traditional extraction systems. Moreover, due to the content of thallium ions, it is difficult to completely remove thallium ions. Therefore, the present invention provides a composite extraction solution, which includes organophosphoric acid, phosphate ester, and diluent, and the molar ratio of the organophosphoric acid to the phosphate ester is 1:0.2 - 1:0.5. Thus, by selecting organophosphoric acid and phosphate ester with a specific molar ratio to synergistically act as an extraction system, thallium ions can be selectively extracted from the acidic stock solution containing lithium ions and thallium ions, and then lithium ions and thallium ions can be selectively separated, and the extraction effect of thallium ions is very good.

[0030] Optionally, the organophosphoric acid is selected from at least one of 2,2'-methylenebis(4,6-di-tert-butylphenyl) phosphoric acid, bis(2-ethylhexyl) phosphoric acid, aminotrimethylenephosphonic acid, ethylenediaminetetramethylenephosphonic acid, dialkyldithiophosphinic acid, bis(2,4,4-trimethylpentyl) phosphinic acid, bis(diethyldithiophosphoric acid), di-n-butyldithiophosphoric acid, bis(2,4,4-trimethylpentyl) thiophosphoric acid, and bis(2-ethylhexyl) dithiophosphoric acid.

[0031] Optionally, the phosphate ester is selected from at least one of bis(2-ethylhexyl) phosphate ester, 2-ethylhexyl phosphate mono-2-ethylhexyl ester, dibutyl dithiophosphate, tricresyl phosphate, butyldiphenyl phosphate, and trioctyl phosphate.

[0032] In the composite extraction solution of the present invention, the organophosphoric acid and the phosphate ester can be a combination of any of the above several types, such as: a combination of one organophosphoric acid and one phosphate ester, a combination of one organophosphoric acid and two or more phosphate esters, a combination of two or more organophosphoric acids and one phosphate ester, a combination of two or more organophosphoric acids and two or more phosphate esters; the molar ratio includes but is not limited to 1:0.2, 1:0.25, 1:0.3, 1:0.35, 1:0.4, 1:0.45, 1:0.5, etc.

[0033] Optionally, the diluent is selected from at least one of n-hexane, n-dodecane, cyclohexane, D70 special solvent oil, D80 special solvent oil, solvent oil No. 120, solvent oil No. 160, solvent oil No. 200, ordinary kerosene, aviation kerosene, and sulfonated kerosene.

[0034] Based on this, as Figure 1 shown, the present invention provides a method for separating lithium and thallium, including the following steps:

[0035] Provide a stock solution containing lithium ions and thallium ions, wherein the stock solution is an acidic solution;

[0036] Use the above-mentioned composite extraction solution to extract the stock solution, phase-separate to obtain a thallium-loaded organic phase and a lithium-containing solution, and prepare a lithium product from the lithium-containing solution;

[0037] The thallium-loaded organic phase is subjected to back-extraction, and after phase separation, a thallium-containing solution and an empty composite extractant solution are obtained. A thallium product is prepared from the thallium-containing solution.

[0038] Among them, the stock solution containing lithium ions and thallium ions can be any mixed solution containing lithium ions and thallium ions in industrial production, such as lithium ore leaching solution, lithium battery waste leaching solution, lithium precipitation mother liquor, etc.

[0039] In the step of extracting the feed solution containing lithium ions and thallium ions with the composite extractant described above, the extraction equipment can be selected from extraction clarifiers, static mixers, rotary extraction towers, etc. During extraction, control the molar ratio of the organic phosphoric acid in the composite extractant to the thallium ions in the stock solution to be greater than or equal to 1.1:1, specifically such as 1.1:1, 1.5:1, 2:1, 2.5:1, 3:1, 3.5:1, 4:1, 4.5:1, 5:1, 5.5:1, 6:1, 6.5:1, 7:1, 7.5:1, 8:1, 8.5:1, 9:1, 10:1, etc. The volume ratio of the composite extractant to the stock solution is 1:1 - 1:10, specifically such as 1:1, 1:2, 1:3, 1:4, 1:5, 1:6, 1:7, 1:8, 1:9, 1:10, etc. All are beneficial to improving the extraction efficiency and extraction effect of thallium ions. The actual molar ratio and extraction volume ratio can be adjusted according to the extraction effect. Specifically, the extraction can be completed within 2 minutes.

[0040] The step of extracting the stock solution with the composite extractant described above can be carried out under normal pressure, and the temperature is not limited. Industrial production can be carried out in any production area. Of course, when the temperature during extraction is controlled within the range of -5°C to 50°C, it is also beneficial to improve the extraction efficiency and extraction effect of thallium ions.

[0041] Under comprehensively optimized conditions, the step of extracting the stock solution with the composite extractant described above can complete the extraction within 30 seconds.

[0042] After the extraction is completed, there are no restrictions on the step of back-extracting the thallium-loaded organic phase. During back-extraction, the back-extraction solution is an acidic solution, or the thallium-loaded organic phase is mixed with water and an acidic gas for back-extraction, where the acidic gas is continuously introduced. Optionally, the acidic solution can be hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, nitric acid, acetic acid, formic acid, etc., and the acidic gas is selected from carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide, chlorine, hydrogen chloride gas, etc.

[0043] After back-extraction, the empty composite extractant solution can be recycled for extracting the stock solution.

[0044] After obtaining the lithium-containing solution and thallium-containing solution, there are no restrictions on the methods for preparing lithium products from the lithium-containing solution and thallium products from the thallium-containing solution. For example, the lithium-containing solution can be treated by evaporation concentration process, extraction-stripping process, and freezing nitre process. The thallium-containing solution can obtain salt products by evaporation concentration, or can prepare thallium sulfide precipitate by adding sodium hydroxide and sodium sulfide.

[0045] When preparing lithium products using the lithium-containing solution of the present invention, there is almost no entrainment of thallium ions in the lithium products, and the product quality is significantly improved. In addition, in the mother liquor after preparing lithium products from the lithium-containing solution, the content of thallium ions is lower than 5 ppb, effectively reducing thallium pollution to the environment.

[0046] Specifically, the present invention also provides a method for extracting and preparing lithium products from lithium ore, including the following steps:

[0047] Prepare an acidic leaching solution of lithium ore;

[0048] Use the compound extraction solution described above to extract the lithium ore leaching solution, and separate phases to obtain a thallium-loaded organic phase and a lithium-containing solution;

[0049] Prepare lithium products from the lithium-containing solution.

[0050] The step of using the compound extraction solution to extract the lithium ore leaching solution can refer to the above step of using the compound extractant to extract the stock solution. The extraction equipment can be selected from extraction clarifiers, static mixers, rotary extraction towers, etc. During extraction, control the molar ratio of the organic phosphoric acid in the compound extraction solution to the thallium ions in the lithium ore leaching solution to be 1.1:1 - 2:1, and the volume ratio of the compound extraction solution to the lithium ore leaching solution to be 1:1 - 1:10. The extraction step can be carried out under normal pressure, and the temperature is not limited. It is preferably controlled within the range of -5°C to 50°C. The extraction can be completed within 2 minutes, and even can be completed within 30 seconds.

[0051] When the present invention uses a compound extraction solution to extract and prepare lithium products from lithium ore, a thallium-loaded organic phase is obtained by phase separation. Therefore, the step further includes: stripping the thallium-loaded organic phase, and separating phases to obtain a thallium-containing solution and an empty compound extraction solution, wherein the empty compound extraction solution is recycled for extracting the lithium ore leaching solution, and the thallium-containing solution is used to prepare thallium products.

[0052] For the method of extracting and preparing lithium products from lithium ore of the present invention, the lithium ore is preferably lepidolite with a high content of thallium element.

[0053] There are many methods for preparing lithium ore into lithium ore leaching solution, and the present invention does not limit them. Currently, the commonly used method is the roasting method. When preparing the lithium ore leaching solution by the roasting method, flue gas will be generated during the roasting process, and thallium will also be contained in the flue gas. The present invention preferably absorbs and treats the flue gas generated during the roasting process to obtain wastewater. The wastewater can be treated separately with a composite extractant, or the wastewater can be mixed into the lithium ore leaching solution, which will not have a substantial impact on the preparation of lithium products from the lithium ore leaching solution. However, it should be noted that the wastewater needs to be an acidic solution.

[0054] The present invention does not limit the method for absorbing and treating flue gas. Optionally, water spray absorption towers, resins, activated carbon, molecular sieves, etc. can be used for absorption.

[0055] Specifically, as Figure 2 shown, when lepidolite is mixed with sulfate and roasted, crushed, and leached in sequence, and after separating to obtain the leaching solution, if the thallium ions in the leaching solution are not treated, the content of thallium ions in the mother liquor after preparing lithium products can reach several hundred to several thousand ppb. After being treated by the process of the present invention, the content of thallium ions can be reduced to less than 5 ppb. In addition, after the flue gas is absorbed and treated by a water spray absorption tower, the concentration of thallium in the wastewater can also reach several hundred to several thousand ppb. Currently, methods such as precipitation for treatment have poor effects, and the concentration after treatment can still reach several hundred ppb. After the flue gas wastewater of the present invention is combined with the leaching solution for treatment, the content of thallium ions can be reduced to less than 5 ppb.

[0056] Hereinafter, the composite extraction solution, the method for separating lithium and thallium, and the method for extracting and preparing lithium products from lithium ore will be further described through the following specific examples.

[0057] Reference example

[0058] Take 500 g of lepidolite concentrate. Mix the lepidolite concentrate, sodium sulfate, and calcium oxide in a mass ratio of 1:0.45:0.8, roast at 900 °C for 4 h, then crush the roasted product, dissolve it in water at a solid-liquid ratio of 1:1, stir for 30 min and then stand for suction filtration. Perform three-stage leaching on the slag, and combine the filtrates to obtain 3.2 L of leaching solution. The lithium ion content is about 10 g / L, the thallium content is about 3690 ppb, PH = 5. The leaching solution is successively defluorinated with calcium oxide and resin, and calcium is removed with sodium carbonate to obtain a purified solution. The purified solution is then evaporated and concentrated for lithium precipitation to obtain 138.84 g of lithium carbonate and 2.845 L of lithium precipitation mother liquor. The lithium precipitation mother liquor is acidified and then concentrated again and returned to the purified solution.

[0059] After analysis, the concentration of thallium ions in the lithium precipitation mother liquor is 4150 ppb, and the lithium content is 2.015 g / L.

[0060] It can be seen that this lithium extraction process will cause thallium to continuously accumulate in the mother liquor of lithium precipitation, resulting in an increasing thallium concentration in the entire production system, which will affect production and wastewater discharge.
