[0090]

[0091] Example 5

[0092] S1. Mix 25.9 g of lithium fluoride with 259 mL of water, add 95.9 g of magnesium hydrogen phosphate trihydrate (10% excess) while stirring, and continue stirring for 30 min at a stirrer speed of 200 rpm;

[0093] S2. Adjust the pH of the mixed solution to 1 with 36% hydrochloric acid, then heat the mixture to 95° C. in a water bath, and keep the mixture in this temperature for 2 h. After the reaction is complete, filter the mixture while hot to obtain a first filtrate and a first filter residue.

[0097] The lithium content of the filtrate and filter residue in S2 was tested, and the calculation formula was the same as that in Example 1. The calculated lithium dissolution rate was 90.8%.

[0098] The test results of metal impurities in the lithium phosphate obtained in S5 are as follows: the total amount of impurity elements is less than 40ppm:

[0099]

[0100] Comparative Example 1

[0101] S1. Mix 25.9 g of lithium fluoride with 259 mL of water, add 59.2 g of calcium phosphate (10% excess) while stirring, and continue stirring for 30 min at a stirrer speed of 200 rpm;

[0102] S2, without adjusting the pH, then heating in a water bath to 95°C, keeping the temperature for reaction for 2 hours, filtering while hot after the reaction is completed to obtain the first filtrate;

[0103] After testing, the lithium content in the filtrate of step S2 is extremely low (285 ppm). The small amount of lithium contained in the obtained filtrate may be caused by the fact that lithium fluoride is slightly soluble in water, indicating that without adjusting the pH, it is impossible to use calcium phosphate to recover lithium fluoride to prepare lithium phosphate.

[0104] Comparative Example 2

[0105] S1. Mix 25.9 g of lithium fluoride with 259 mL of water, add 59.2 g of calcium phosphate (10% excess) while stirring, and continue stirring for 30 min at a stirrer speed of 200 rpm;

[0106] S2. Use 36% hydrochloric acid to adjust the pH to 0.5, react at room temperature at 25°C for 2 hours, and filter after the reaction to obtain the first filtrate;

[0107] After testing, the lithium content in the filtrate of step S2 was 371 ppm. A certain amount of lithium content may be caused by the fact that lithium fluoride is slightly soluble in water. Therefore, it is proved that lithium fluoride cannot be recovered by calcium phosphate to prepare lithium phosphate under room temperature reaction conditions by adjusting the pH value alone.

[0108] Comparative Example 3

[0109] S1. Mix 25.9 g of lithium fluoride with 259 mL of water, add 138.6 g of calcium dihydrogen phosphate (10% excess) while stirring, and continue stirring for 30 min at a stirrer speed of 200 rpm;

[0110] S2. Without adjusting the pH, heat the mixture to 95°C in a water bath and keep the mixture for 2 hours. After the reaction is complete, filter the mixture while it is hot to obtain filtrate 1.

[0111] S3, adding sodium hydroxide to filtrate 1 to adjust the pH to 6, then reacting at 60°C for 0.5h, and filtering to obtain filtrate 2;

[0112] S4, filtrate 2 is adsorbed by the tree to obtain the trace high-valent ions therein to obtain the pure liquid;

[0113] S5. Sodium hydroxide is added to the purified liquid to adjust the pH to 7.5. After the reaction is completed, the solution is filtered and rinsed with hot water at 90°C to obtain a high-purity lithium phosphate ointment. The ointment is dried at 120°C to obtain 18.3 g of a high-purity lithium phosphate product.

[0114] The lithium content of the filtrate and filter residue in S2 was tested, and the calculation formula was the same as that in Example 1. The calculated lithium dissolution rate was 48.9%.

[0115] The test results of metal impurities in the lithium phosphate obtained in S5 are as follows: the total amount of impurity elements is less than 40ppm:

[0116]

[0117]

[0118] In Comparative Example 1, when the phosphate added in step S1 did not contain hydrogen ions, the reaction could not proceed without adjusting the pH. In Comparative Example 2, the reaction in step S2 was almost impossible at room temperature. In Comparative Example 3, calcium dihydrogen phosphate containing hydrogen ions was used in step S1. Although finished lithium phosphate was obtained without adjusting the pH in step S2, the lack of pH adjustment in step S2 resulted in an incomplete reaction, resulting in a lithium dissolution rate of only 48.9%. In summary, the type of phosphate added and the reaction conditions (pH and temperature) have a significant impact on the recovery of lithium fluoride to produce high-purity lithium phosphate.

[0119] The foregoing description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Those skilled in the art will readily appreciate that various modifications and variations of the present invention are possible. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention shall be included within the scope of protection of the present invention.
