Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of lithium fluoride preparation, and in particular to a method based on the recovery of lithium fluoride mother liquor. Background Art

[0002] The process for preparing high-purity lithium fluoride from industrial-grade lithium carbonate is to pass carbon dioxide through industrial-grade lithium carbonate to prepare lithium bicarbonate solution, and obtain lithium bicarbonate refined liquid after rough impurity removal and deep impurity removal by resin. The lithium bicarbonate refined liquid is reacted with hydrofluoric acid to obtain lithium fluoride slurry, and the slurry is centrifuged to obtain lithium fluoride wet material and mother liquor for recycling. In this method, about 30% of lithium fluoride will still remain in the mother liquor after separation. If the mother liquor is discharged directly, it will cause great harm to the environment and waste a large amount of lithium fluoride.

[0003] After searching, it is found that in the prior art, when recovering the mother liquor, multiple large storage tanks need to be filled in sequence and then chemically treated and recovered, and integrated continuous recovery cannot be achieved. This recovery method is not only inefficient but also occupies a large amount of space. Therefore, we propose an integrated continuous recovery device. Summary of the invention
