Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of chemical industry, and in particular to a method and apparatus for producing lithium bromide. Background Art

[0002] Lithium bromide is an inorganic substance that appears as white cubic crystals or granular powder. It is highly soluble in water, ethanol, and ether, slightly soluble in pyridine, and soluble in organic solvents such as methanol, acetone, and ethylene glycol. It is a highly efficient water vapor absorber and air humidity regulator. It can be used as an absorption refrigerant, a hydrogen chloride remover in organic chemistry, a fiber bulking agent, a hypnotic and sedative in medicine, and is also used in the photographic industry, as an analytical chemical reagent, and as an electrolyte in certain high-energy batteries.

[0003] Currently, lithium bromide is commonly produced industrially by using lithium hydroxide to absorb bromine or by using hydrobromic acid and lithium hydroxide to neutralize bromine. Taking the absorption of bromine by a hot lithium hydroxide solution as an example, the solution is evaporated to dryness to obtain a mixture of lithium bromide and lithium bromate. The lithium bromate in the mixture is then reduced to lithium bromide using carbon powder, and the lithium bromide product is finally obtained through steps such as dissolution, filtration, recrystallization, and drying. However, the lithium bromide produced by these methods produces lithium bromate as an impurity, which needs to be further removed by carbon powder reduction. This greatly increases the process difficulty and production cost, and also prolongs the process cycle. Furthermore, the lithium bromate that is difficult to remove can also reduce the quality of the lithium bromide product.

[0004] Furthermore, the production process of lithium bromide generally uses bromine as a raw material. Currently, bromine production methods include air extraction, steam distillation, extraction, resin adsorption, and membrane separation. Air extraction and steam distillation are the most widely used industrially, with steam distillation accounting for 10% of my country's bromine production, and air extraction accounting for the remaining 90%. Specifically, bromide ions in brine are first acidified and oxidized with chlorine to form elemental bromine. The bromine in the brine is then blown out using air or steam. The bromine in the air is then absorbed and enriched with an absorbent to form a hydrobromic acid solution. Finally, the bromine product is obtained through secondary oxidation with chlorine and distillation. However, these bromine production methods require the use of large amounts of chlorine, and the introduction of hazardous chlorine poses safety risks such as leakage and explosion. Furthermore, the water discharged after bromine extraction becomes acidic, posing a certain risk of environmental pollution.

[0005] Gasfield water, a byproduct of gas field development, often contains salt, sulfur, and organic matter. During gas field development, it is often disposed of as waste, significantly increasing production costs. Preliminary research has shown that some gasfield water contains 200-500 mg / L of bromide ions, 4-10 times the industrial grade, and possesses high extraction and utilization value. Currently, gasfield water is primarily treated for reinjection, with no bromine recovery or utilization achieved, representing a significant waste of bromine resources. Traditional bromine extraction processes involve the use of hazardous chemical chlorine gas, and the product is bromine, making it difficult to implement on-site as part of a hazardous chemical production and storage project.

[0006] Therefore, it is necessary to propose a method and device for producing lithium bromide to realize the green and environmentally friendly extraction and utilization of bromine resources in gas field water, ensure the supply of bromine resources, and realize the efficient recovery of bromine resources in gas field water.

[0049] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of this application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of this application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0050] On the one hand, if Figure 2 As shown, the present application provides a method for producing lithium bromide, comprising:

[0051] Passing bromine-containing gas into the iron powder suspension to obtain a first mixed solution;

[0052] filtering the first mixed liquid to obtain a ferric bromide solution and iron powder;

[0053] adding lithium carbonate to the ferric bromide solution to obtain a second mixed solution;

[0054] The second mixed liquid is filter-pressed to obtain a lithium bromide solution and ferric hydroxide solid;

[0055] The lithium bromide solution is evaporated to dryness to obtain a lithium bromide solid product.

[0056] The chemical reaction equation for the reaction between bromine-containing gas and iron powder suspension is:

[0057] 2Fe+3Br2=2Fe2Br3

[0058] The iron powder obtained by filtering the first mixed liquid can be used to prepare an iron powder suspension.

[0059] The reaction formula of ferric bromide solution and lithium carbonate is:

[0060] 2FeBr3+3Li2CO3+3H2O=6LiBr+3CO2+2Fe(OH)3

[0061] In some embodiments of the present application, Figure 1 As shown, the method for preparing bromine-containing gas includes:

[0062] Using hydrochloric acid, the pH value of the gas field water is adjusted to 1-4, for example, the pH value is adjusted to 1, 1.5, 2.0, 2.5, 3.0, 3.5 or 4 to obtain an acidified solution;

[0063] The acidified solution is electrolyzed to obtain an oxidized solution at the anode;

[0064] The oxidizing liquid is stripped with air. According to the gas-liquid equilibrium relationship between the gas and liquid phase concentrations of bromine, the bromine is blown out of the oxidizing liquid by the air to obtain bromine-containing gas.

[0065] When the acid solution is electrolyzed, bromide ions undergo an oxidation reaction at the interface between the anode plate and the bromine-containing solution under the action of current, oxidizing the bromide ions into elemental bromine. The chemical reaction equation is:

[0066] 2Br - -2e - =Br2

[0067] Under the action of current, hydrogen ions undergo a reduction reaction at the interface between the cathode plate and the bromine-containing solution, reducing the hydrogen ions to hydrogen gas. The chemical reaction equation is:

[0068] 2H - +2e - =H2

[0069] In some embodiments of the present application, the gas-liquid flow ratio of air to oxidizing liquid is 130-260:1, for example, 130:1, 150:1, 170:1, 190:1, 210:1, 230:1, 250:1 or 260:1, so as to ensure that bromine is blown out of the oxidizing liquid.

[0078] The evaporation and drying unit is used to evaporate and dry the lithium bromide solution to obtain a lithium bromide solid product.

[0079] In some embodiments of the present application, the device further comprises a bromine molecule extraction unit for preparing bromine-containing gas using gas field water, such as Figure 3 As shown, the bromine molecule extraction unit includes an acid regulating tank, an electrolytic cell and a stripping tower connected in sequence.

[0080] Specifically, electrolyzing the acidified liquid using an electrolytic cell includes: passing the acidified liquid into an anode chamber of the electrolytic cell; applying power to the electrolytic cell, causing bromide ions in the acidified liquid to undergo an oxidation reaction at the anode to produce bromine molecules, thereby converting the acidified liquid in the anode chamber into an oxidizing liquid; and passing dilute hydrochloric acid into the cathode chamber of the electrolytic cell to maintain acidic conditions in the cathode chamber. The oxidation rate of the bromine molecules in the oxidizing liquid is 90-99%, which is the ratio of the actual amount of bromine molecules converted from bromide ions in the oxidizing liquid to the theoretical yield of bromine molecules converted from bromide ions in the oxidizing liquid. The electrolytic cell is preferably a DF002 electrolytic cell.

[0081] In some embodiments of the present application, Figure 4 As shown, the first mixed liquid obtaining unit includes an absorption tower; the filtration unit includes a bag filter; the second mixed liquid obtaining unit includes a reaction tank; the filter pressing unit includes a filter press; the evaporation and drying unit includes an evaporator; the absorption tower, bag filter, reaction tank, filter press, and evaporator are connected in sequence.
