Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of renewable energy and thermal energy utilization, and relates to an energy system and method for lithium extraction from a salt lake and cogeneration of heat and power. Background Art

[0002] Lithium resources play an important role in new energy vehicles, energy storage materials and devices, and electronics. my country's lithium resources mainly exist in the brine of plateau salt lakes. However, the output of lithium extracted from salt lakes is difficult to meet market demand due to environmental and technical limitations.

[0003] Publication No. CN116608103A A carbon dioxide solar thermal power generation system and method equipped with phase change heat storage, including a concentrating heat collection system, a heat storage and heat exchange system, a CO2 power generation system and a photovoltaic power generation system; the concentrating heat collection system includes a collector; the heat storage and heat exchange system includes: a phase change heat storage heater, a molten salt-CO2 heat exchanger and a heat transfer molten salt storage tank, the outlet of the phase change heat storage heater is connected to the heat transfer molten salt side inlet of the molten salt-CO2 heat exchanger, the heat transfer molten salt side outlet of the molten salt-CO2 heat exchanger is connected to the heat transfer molten salt storage tank inlet, the heat transfer molten salt storage tank outlet is divided into two paths, one is connected to the inlet of the phase change heat storage heater, and the other is connected to the inlet of the collector, and the outlet of the collector is connected to the inlet of the phase change heat storage heater; the CO2 power generation system is connected to the molten salt-CO2 heat exchanger, the photovoltaic power generation system is connected to the phase change heat storage heater, and phase change energy storage is used as the energy storage system of the CO2 power generation system. Since the characteristic of CO2 solar thermal power generation system is that after heat recovery, the temperature of molten salt entering the tower is very high, and the heat storage temperature difference of molten salt becomes smaller, if conventional sensible heat storage is used, the storage capacity of molten salt will be very large. However, the temperature of phase change heat storage is constant during heat release, and the energy storage density is much greater than that of sensible heat storage, so the amount of heat storage medium can be greatly reduced. In addition, this solar thermal power generation and energy storage system is equipped for photovoltaic power stations. Phase change energy storage can use electric heaters to achieve heat storage. When electric heating converts electrical energy into thermal energy, there is no need for excessively high heat transfer temperature difference, and energy transfer can be achieved. There is no need for step-by-step phase change energy storage, but it is just a combination of energy storage and power generation.

[0038] As is known, the electrodialysis device is a separation technology based on the principle of electrochemistry. The following is a detailed introduction to the electrodialysis device: The electrodialysis device uses the difference in mobility under the action of an electric field to separate substances with different charges. When there are substances to be separated in the solution, the charged substances will migrate to the electrode through the establishment of an electric field, while the counterions tend to the other pole, thereby achieving the separation of substances. Specifically, the electrodialysis device uses the phenomenon of directional migration of ions under an electric field and the selective permeability of ion exchange membranes to achieve the purpose of desalination. Under the action of an external DC electric field, the ions in the water migrate in a directional manner, so that most of the ions in one part of the water migrate to another part, thereby achieving the purpose of desalination. The electrodialysis device is mainly composed of the following parts: anion membrane and cation membrane: they have selective permeability to ions in water and are the desalination part of the device. Partition: The main material is polypropylene, which plays the role of supporting the anion and cation membranes and forming a concentrated and fresh water chamber with them. Electrode: It mainly forms the electric field required for the ion exchange membrane, and is composed of a water distribution head, a porous plate, and a PVC frame. Clamping device: Fix the anion and cation exchange membrane, electrode, partition, etc. to form a whole. Anti-leakage rubber sheet: between the electrode and the partition, to prevent the system from leaking at the electrode. Acid cleaning system: used to clean the device. When the electrodialysis device produces abnormal phenomena such as decreased desalination rate, decreased water production, and increased operating pressure, appropriate chemical agents should be used for chemical cleaning. Silicon controlled rectifier cabinet: the energy feed-in part of the device, which rectifies the industrial frequency AC into a DC voltage with adjustable voltage, applies it to the electrode to form a DC electric field in the membrane stack to pull the anions and cations in the solution to produce directional movement.
