Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of lithium extraction from lithium precipitation mother liquor, and relates to a resource recovery device system for lithium precipitation mother liquor. Background Technology
[0002] Lithium carbonate is an important lithium salt. Lithium ore refining or brine lithium extraction processes ultimately yield a lithium-rich solution. After impurity removal, this solution undergoes a precipitation reaction with sodium carbonate. Following washing and drying, lithium carbonate is obtained. The lithium-rich solution remaining after lithium carbonate precipitation is known as the lithium precipitation mother liquor. However, in this process, due to the limited equilibrium solubility of lithium carbonate in a high-salt environment, the single-pass yield of the precipitation reaction is only about 83%, leaving approximately 17% of lithium ions in the mother liquor and unable to be recovered to produce lithium carbonate. Therefore, lithium resources in brine lithium extraction are not efficiently utilized. Based on this calculation, if approximately 90% of the lithium resources in the mother liquor could be recovered, the production of lithium carbonate from brine would directly increase by more than 15%. This is of great significance for the comprehensive utilization of lithium resources and for the development and improvement of brine lithium extraction technology.
[0003] Currently, traditional methods for recovering lithium from lithium precipitate mother liquor mainly include the lithium phosphate method, acid concentration method, acid self-circulation method, and solvent extraction method. Among these, solvent extraction is widely used due to its high separation efficiency, low energy consumption, and less dependence on energy compared to traditional processes. However, although some lithium precipitate mother liquor recovery devices have been disclosed in existing technologies, these devices have many problems, such as complex structures leading to high operation difficulties and consequently high production costs. Furthermore, these devices also result in lithium resource waste and high levels of metal impurity ions in the lithium products, and the treatment of the raffinate is inadequate, with direct discharge without treatment, which does not meet environmental protection requirements.
[0004] In summary, this invention provides a resource recovery device system for lithium precipitation mother liquor, which solves the problems of high metal impurity ion content, low lithium extraction rate, and pollution from raffinate discharge in the obtained lithium product. This is a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved by those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content
[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, the purpose of this invention is to provide a resource recovery device system for lithium precipitation mother liquor. Through the coordinated use of a pretreatment unit, conditioning unit, extraction unit, washing unit, back-extraction unit, and raffinate post-treatment unit connected in sequence, the system achieves maximum recovery and utilization of lithium ions in the lithium precipitation mother liquor, reduces the waste of lithium resources, ensures the greenness, stability, and controllability of the extraction process, and results in a high-lithium liquid product with low content of metal impurity ions and high lithium extraction rate, while the raffinate can meet discharge standards.
[0006] To achieve this objective, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0007] This utility model provides a resource recovery device system for lithium precipitation mother liquor, the resource recovery device system including a lithium precipitation mother liquor storage device, a pretreatment unit, a conditioning unit, an extraction unit, a washing unit, a back-extraction unit and a raffinate post-treatment unit;
[0008] Along the material conveying direction, the lithium precipitation mother liquor storage device, pretreatment unit, conditioning unit, extraction unit, washing unit and back-extraction unit are connected in sequence through pipelines;
[0009] The conditioning unit includes a first pH adjustment device, a calcium and magnesium removal device, and a second pH adjustment device connected in sequence.
[0010] The outlet of the pretreatment unit is connected to the inlet of the first pH adjustment device; the outlet of the second pH adjustment device is connected to the inlet of the extraction unit.
[0011] Along the material conveying direction, the last stage of the back-extraction unit is equipped with a high-lithium liquid outlet;
[0012] The raffinate outlet of the extraction unit is connected to the inlet of the raffinate post-treatment unit.
[0013] In this invention, the lithium in the lithium precipitation mother liquor is Li + Concentration is 1.0-2.5 g / L, K + Concentration of 20-50 g / L, Na + Concentration of 10-60 g / L, Mg 2+ The concentration is 0.001-0.01 g / L, Ca 2+ The concentration is 0.001-0.01 g / L, Cl - The concentration of the lithium precipitation mother liquor is 50-100 g / L and the concentration of CO3²⁻ is 10-30 g / L; the pH of the lithium precipitation mother liquor is 11.5-14.
[0014] In this invention, the pH value of the lithium precipitation mother liquor after passing through the first pH adjustment device is <11; the pH value of the lithium precipitation mother liquor after passing through the first pH adjustment device is 9.5-10.5.
[0015] The resource recovery device system provided by this utility model achieves maximum recovery and utilization of lithium ions in the mother lithium liquid through the coordinated use of a pretreatment unit, conditioning unit, extraction unit, washing unit, back-extraction unit and raffinate post-treatment unit connected in sequence. This reduces the waste of lithium resources, ensures the greenness, stability and controllability of the extraction process, and results in a high-lithium liquid product with low content of metal impurity ions and high lithium extraction rate, while the raffinate can meet the discharge standards.
[0016] It should be noted that multi-stage conditioning of the lithium precipitation mother liquor is used to improve the lithium extraction rate and the purity of the resulting product. The mother liquor in the pretreatment unit undergoes pH adjustment (i.e., a first pH adjustment device is installed) before entering the calcium and magnesium removal unit to prevent clogging of the calcium and magnesium removal unit due to excessive alkalinity of the lithium precipitation mother liquor. Then, the calcium and magnesium removal unit is used to remove calcium and magnesium ions, preventing them from being back-extracted with lithium and remaining in the high-lithium liquid product, thus affecting product quality. Finally, the mother liquor in the conditioning unit undergoes pH adjustment (i.e., a second pH adjustment device is installed) before entering the extraction unit to ensure that the conditioned mother liquor meets the pH range required for extraction, thereby improving subsequent extraction efficiency and extraction rate, and preventing emulsification problems during the extraction process.
[0017] It should also be noted that the raffinate is treated by the raffinate post-treatment unit, and the treated raffinate meets the discharge standards and does not cause any environmental pollution.
[0018] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, the pretreatment unit includes a cooling device, a first impurity removal device, and a second impurity removal device connected in sequence.
[0019] In this invention, because the temperature of the lithium precipitation mother liquor is relatively high, it needs to be cooled to room temperature. Additionally, because the lithium precipitation mother liquor contains large particulate impurities such as silt and suspended solids, it requires two-stage filtration to thoroughly remove silt and suspended solids, thus preventing them from affecting subsequent processing.
[0020] The inlet of the cooling device is connected to the lithium precipitation mother liquor storage device.
[0021] The first impurity removal device is independently provided with a first outlet and a second outlet.
[0022] The first outlet is connected to the inlet of the second impurity removal device.
[0023] The second outlet is connected to the lithium mother liquor storage device.
[0024] In this invention, the cooled lithium precipitation mother liquor is processed by a first impurity removal device to obtain qualified filtrate and unqualified filtrate (or residual solution). The qualified filtrate enters a second impurity removal device through a first outlet for further impurity removal and filtration, while the unqualified filtrate (or residual solution) is returned to the lithium precipitation mother liquor storage device through a second outlet to be mixed with new lithium precipitation mother liquor and recycled.

[0045] The washing liquid outlet of the final stage washing device is connected to the extraction liquid inlet of the first stage extraction device.
[0046] In this invention, during the extraction unit, while lithium ions are removed from the mother liquor, other cations in the mother liquor are also extracted in small quantities. A washing device washes off these other cations from the loaded extraction phase to improve its purity, thereby increasing the purity of lithium in the resulting product. The washing liquid is then reused in the extraction unit for further lithium extraction, thus improving the lithium recovery rate.
[0047] The final stage of the washing device has its loaded extraction phase outlet connected to the inlet of the back-extraction unit.
[0048] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, the back-extraction unit includes several stages of back-extraction devices connected in series.

[0091] Comparative Example 2
[0092] This comparative example provides a resource recovery device system for lithium precipitation mother liquor. Except for the absence of a calcium and magnesium removal device, all other conditions are the same as in Example 1.
[0093] Comparative Example 3
[0094] This comparative example provides a resource recovery device system for lithium precipitation mother liquor, which is the same as that in Example 1 except that a conditioning unit is not set up.
[0095] The lithium content, total calcium and magnesium impurity concentrations, and lithium extraction rate in the high-lithium solutions obtained in Example 1 and Comparative Examples 1-3 were tested and calculated. The results are shown in Table 1.
