[0036] According to the specific embodiments of the present invention, preferably, the method for co-producing lithium bromide with a short process using sulfur-containing gas field water specifically includes the following steps:

[0037] S1. After the gas field water is adjusted to a certain pH by a pH regulator, it enters a negative pressure desulfurization unit for negative pressure gas stripping desulfurization using stripping gas. The hydrogen sulfide-containing gas after negative pressure gas stripping desulfurization is subjected to tail gas treatment;

[0038] S2. The water discharged after negative pressure desulfurization enters a pre-filter unit, and most of the petroleum and solid suspended matters in the gas field water are removed by the pre-filter. The generated slag is centrally transported for treatment;

[0039] S3. After the water discharged from the pre-filter is adjusted to a certain pH by a pH regulator, it enters an electro-oxidation unit. By controlling the voltage, most of the organic matters, ammonia nitrogen and other impurities in the water are oxidized and removed by electro-oxidation, and at the same time, the bromide ions in the gas field water are oxidized into free bromine; further, according to the gas-liquid phase equilibrium relationship of bromine, air is used to blow out the free bromine from the gas field water;

[0040] S4. After the water discharged from the electro-oxidation is adjusted to a certain pH by a pH regulator, it enters a post-filter to remove the solid impurities generated during the electro-oxidation process. The generated slag is centrally transported for treatment;

[0041] S5. The water discharged after filtration enters an adsorption lithium extraction unit, and the lithium adsorbent in the adsorption lithium extraction unit selectively adsorbs lithium ions in the filtered water. The water discharged after adsorption lithium extraction is the water for reinjection;

[0042] S6. The bromine-containing air after air blowing enters the chlorine washing unit, where the bromide ions in the chlorine washing liquid are used to displace and remove the chlorine gas by-produced in the electro-oxidation process and entrained in the air, and the generated free bromine is further carried out by the air and enters the next unit;

[0043] S7. The bromine-containing air after chlorine washing enters the first-stage absorption unit, where the free bromine in the air is absorbed by the absorption and reduction liquid to obtain sodium bromide. After the absorption liquid approaches saturation, sodium bromide products are prepared through evaporation and drying;

[0044] S8. The bromine-containing air after the first-stage absorption enters the second-stage absorption unit, where the remaining free bromine in the air is absorbed by the absorption and reduction liquid. When the first-stage absorption liquid is saturated, the second-stage absorption liquid is used as the first-stage absorption liquid and fresh absorption liquid is added externally as the second-stage absorption liquid for continuous cyclic operation;

[0045] S9. The lithium ions on the lithium adsorbent are desorbed using the desorbing liquid to obtain a qualified lithium-containing liquid;

[0046] S10. The qualified lithium-containing liquid enters the membrane separation concentration and evaporation concentration system for divalent ion separation and lithium ion concentration;

[0050] Method for short - process co - production of lithium and bromine using sulfur - containing gas - field water: In the first step, taking advantage of the fact that sulfides in gas - field water exist in the form of hydrogen sulfide under acidic conditions and the solubility of hydrogen sulfide in water decreases under negative - pressure conditions, after adjusting the pH of the gas - field water, most of the hydrogen sulfide in the gas - field water is removed by negative - pressure steam stripping desulfurization. In the second step, a pre - filtration method is used to remove most of the suspended solids and petroleum substances in the gas - field water. In the third step, electro - oxidation is used to remove impurities such as organic matter and ammonia nitrogen in the gas - field water, and simultaneously, through the electro - oxidation effect, bromide ions in the water are oxidized to free bromine under acidic conditions. According to the gas - liquid equilibrium relationship between the gas - phase and liquid - phase concentrations of bromine, the free bromine is blown out of the gas - field water by air. In the fourth step, a post - filtration method is used to remove impurities in the electro - oxidized water. In the fifth step, a lithium adsorbent is used to selectively extract lithium ions from the filtered water, and the water after lithium adsorption extraction is reinjected or further deeply treated. Through the above five steps, the short - process extraction of lithium and bromine resources in gas - field water is realized, and combined with subsequent steps, the production of sodium bromide and lithium carbonate products is achieved.

[0051] In the sixth step, a chlorine - washing liquid is used to displace and remove chlorine gas generated in the electro - oxidation process and entrained in the air containing free bromine blown out by air. In the seventh step, an absorption reducing agent is used to perform a primary absorption on the free bromine entrained in the air after chlorine - washing, converting the free bromine into sodium bromide. When the primary absorption liquid is close to saturation, sodium bromide products are prepared through evaporation and drying. In the eighth step, an absorption reducing agent is used to perform a secondary absorption on the air after the primary absorption to further improve the conversion rate of free bromine. When the primary absorption liquid is saturated, the secondary absorption liquid is used as the primary absorption liquid and fresh absorption liquid is added as the secondary absorption liquid for continuous cyclic operation. In the ninth step, a desorbing liquid is used to desorb the lithium adsorbent to obtain a qualified lithium - containing solution. In the tenth step, the qualified lithium - containing solution enters a membrane separation concentration and evaporation concentration system for divalent ion separation and lithium - ion concentration. In the eleventh step, the concentrated solution enters a resin impurity - removal and lithium - precipitation system to further remove divalent ions therein and prepare lithium carbonate through a precipitation reaction.

[0052] The technical solution provided by the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0053] The present invention replaces the traditional "desulfurization - air flotation - advanced oxidation - flocculation sedimentation - filtration" pretreatment process of gas - field water with a short - process method of "desulfurization - electro - oxidation - filtration", cleverly using electro - oxidation to remove impurities such as organic matter and ammonia nitrogen in gas - field water, reducing their impact on the subsequent lithium adsorption extraction performance, and simultaneously realizing the oxidation extraction of bromide ions in gas - field water. Thus, the short - process co - production of lithium and bromine resources in gas - field water is achieved, and the pollutants in gas - field water are significantly reduced, which helps the sustainable and effective development of gas fields and alleviates the shortage of lithium and bromine supplies.

[0054] Through the realization of the short process, the present invention shortens the original gas field water treatment process, correspondingly reduces the addition of various chemicals in the process flow, reduces the loss of lithium and bromine resources caused by the addition of external chemicals and the long process flow, helps to improve the economy of extracting lithium and bromine resources from gas field water, and realizes the transformation of waste gas field water into valuable resources.
