Abstract
Description

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of lithium extraction from salt lakes, and particularly relates to a valve array structure and a salt lake lithium extraction resin system applying the valve array structure. Background Art
[0002] The lithium extraction technology with titanium adsorption resin is a method for extracting lithium from salt lake brine by using titanium-based adsorbents, which has the advantages of high selectivity, large adsorption capacity, high stability, etc. Compared with traditional methods, it can obtain higher lithium extraction efficiency. During industrial lithium extraction, especially for lithium extraction from salt lakes, a large number of titanium adsorption resin beds are required. The resin beds generally go through multiple processes such as adsorption and desorption. If the adsorption and desorption processes are not thorough, it will lead to low lithium extraction efficiency; if multi-stage adsorption is adopted, the number of resin beds needs to be increased, resulting in an increase in project investment. When the number of resin beds is large, the operation control is extremely cumbersome, with extremely high technical requirements for operators, and it is difficult to flexibly adjust the combined number and efficiency of resin beds in each operation state stage; overall, it is difficult to significantly improve the lithium extraction efficiency and lithium recovery rate.

[0014] The present invention has the following advantages:
[0015] 1. The valve array structure of the present invention for invention patent can quickly adjust the number and combination of resin beds operating in series and parallel, making up for the deficiencies of traditional valve array type resin beds; using the controller for grouped control, the operation is simple and the error rate is low.
[0016] 2. Each resin bed is respectively equipped with a set of valve array structures. Under the control of the controller, each resin bed automatically completes the processes of adsorption (adsorbing lithium ions from the salt lake brine onto the resin to separate lithium ions from the brine), backwashing with tail brine (washing the residual tail brine on the resin surface through reverse flow to remove various ions such as sodium, magnesium, potassium, and chloride ions adhered to the resin surface in the brine, preventing these ions from entering the qualified eluate after the next elution process and improving the purity of lithium ions in the qualified eluate), elution (eluting the lithium ions adsorbed on the resin into the qualified eluate to achieve the extraction and concentration of lithium ions), and rinsing (rinsing the residual lithium ions after elution on the resin surface to improve the recovery rate). This reduces manual operation errors and improves the operation efficiency.
[0017] 3. Adjacent resin beds are connected by a second connecting pipe. By opening the series connection automatic valve on the second connecting pipe, the series connection of adjacent resin beds is realized, and the multi-stage series operation of adjacent resin beds can be achieved according to actual needs; a first connecting pipe is arranged between the first common pipe and the second common pipe. By opening the body connection automatic valve arranged on the first connecting pipe, the multi-stage series operation of non-adjacent resin beds can be realized; the series-parallel operation of several salt lake lithium extraction resin units can be adjusted to achieve multi-stage adsorption and improve the lithium recovery rate; multi-stage backwashing with tail brine can be achieved to improve the purity of lithium ions in the qualified eluate; multi-stage elution can be realized to achieve the multi-stage extraction and concentration of lithium ions. Multi-stage rinsing can be realized to reduce the residual lithium ions after elution on the resin surface and improve the recovery rate.
[0018] 4. According to the lithium extraction adsorption treatment requirements, by operating the corresponding automatic valves through the controller, the number of resin beds in different operating states (a total of four operating states, namely adsorption, backwashing with tail brine, elution, and rinsing) can be flexibly adjusted, reducing the total amount of resin beds invested and saving investment costs; a pumping unit and a feeding and discharging pipeline are used to supply materials to several salt lake lithium extraction resin units, making the best use of common equipment and reducing investment.
