Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of lithium precipitation mother liquor treatment, and in particular to a method for extracting rubidium-cesium salt from an environmentally friendly lithium precipitation mother liquor of lepidolite. Background Art

[0002] China is rich in rubidium and cesium resources. Rubidium and cesium resources in solid form are mainly found in lepidolite and cesium garnet; rubidium and cesium resources in liquid form are mainly distributed in salt lakes and geothermal waters in Qinghai, Tibet and other places. Regardless of whether the initial output is solid ore or liquid ore, the separation of rubidium and cesium can only be achieved in aqueous solution. Rubidium and cesium are rare non-ferrous metals with very small reserves worldwide. Both elements are typical dispersed elements and rarely form separate minerals. They are often doped in lithium ores. At present, most manufacturers of ore extraction lithium process use lepidolite as the main ore. Extracting and separating rubidium and cesium elements from lepidolite lithium precipitation mother liquor can generate considerable economic benefits. At present, the methods for separating and extracting rubidium and cesium mainly include precipitation, ion exchange and solvent extraction. Among them, the precipitation method has a long process, low recovery rate and low product purity, and is mainly used for analytical testing or crude product purification; the ion exchange method has a simple process, good selectivity and high recovery rate, but the exchange capacity of the ion exchanger is relatively small, which is suitable for the separation and extraction of low concentrations of rubidium and cesium; the solvent extraction method has a large processing capacity, good separation effect, and is easy to realize continuous operation. It is a separation and extraction technology that has been studied more and developed faster. Summary of the invention

At present, the prior art discloses a process of simply using 4-tert-butyl-2-(α-methylbenzyl)phenol and sulfonated kerosene, but because 4-tert-butyl-2-(α-methylbenzyl)phenol has a greater extraction effect on potassium, sodium and other ions, an ion competition effect is formed, and part of the extractant resources are occupied by potassium ions and sodium ions, thereby reducing the extraction of the target ion Cs + Ions and Rb + By comparing Example 3 of the present application with the comparative example, it can be seen that by adding the extraction promoter of the present invention, the extraction rate of rubidium and cesium can be further improved.

[0053] The extraction rates of cesium and rubidium in the cesium-loaded organic phase and the rubidium-loaded organic phase obtained by the methods described in the embodiments and comparative examples were tested, and the results are shown in Table 2.

[0054] As shown in Table 2, the method of the present invention can efficiently extract rubidium and cesium elements from lithium mica precipitation mother liquor, comprehensively utilize rubidium and cesium valuable metal elements, reduce resource waste, and generate considerable economic benefits. At present, the prior art discloses a process of simply using 4-tert-butyl-2-(α-methylbenzyl)phenol and sulfonated kerosene, but since 4-tert-butyl-2-(α-methylbenzyl)phenol has a greater extraction effect on potassium, sodium and other ions, an ion competition effect is formed, and part of the extractant resources are occupied by potassium ions and sodium ions, thereby reducing the extraction of the target ion Cs + Ions and Rb + By comparing Example 3 of the present application with the comparative example, it can be seen that by adding the extraction promoter of the present invention, the extraction rate of rubidium and cesium can be further improved. The present invention first introduces a nitro group into dibenzo-18-crown-6 ether, then reductively aminates the nitro group, and then connects the active group to the amino group through 4-nitrobenzene isocyanate, thereby improving the extraction promoter for Cs in the aqueous phase. + Ions and Rb + ion coordination ability, improve the extraction promoter and Cs + Ion, Rb + On the other hand, the selectivity of the extraction promoter to ions is used to reduce the coordination of potassium, sodium and other ions, thereby achieving the separation of target ions and impurity ions. + Ions and Rb + The ions first coordinate with the extraction promoter and enter the oil phase.+ Ion, Rb + The coordination ability of the ions is stronger and the complex formed is more stable, so the extraction promoter and Cs + Ion, Rb + The complex of ions is easy to 4-tert-butyl-2-(α-methylbenzyl)phenol and Cs + Ion, Rb + The complex transformation of ions enables the extraction promoter to coordinate Cs in the aqueous phase again. + Ion, Rb + In addition, the addition of N-butyl-N-methylpyrrolidine bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide salt can improve the extraction of rubidium by the extractant, which may be due to the fact that N-butyl-N-methylpyrrolidine bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide salt can improve the hydrophilicity of the extraction promoter and promote the coordination of the extraction promoter to ions.
