[0129] Referring to Figure 2, the present invention discloses a process for obtaining lithium salt from salt lake brine as follows: the salt lake brine is subjected to adsorption separation using an adsorption separation device 71. The lithium is adsorbed onto the adsorbent through the adsorbent's selective properties for lithium. Through washing and analysis, a qualified lithium-containing solution with low impurity content is obtained. The qualified lithium-containing solution enters a membrane device 72 for concentration and purification to obtain a membrane output solution. The membrane output solution then enters an electrodialysis device 73 for separation, purification, and concentration to obtain an electrodialysis output solution. The electrodialysis output solution enters a resin deep impurity removal device 74, where calcium, magnesium, and boron are removed by resin adsorption, reducing the calcium and magnesium content in the solution to less than 10 ppm and the boron content to less than 20 ppm, thereby obtaining a resin output solution. The resin output solution enters an evaporation device 75 for evaporation and concentration to obtain a concentrated solution. The concentrated solution enters a lithium precipitation device 76 for lithium precipitation reaction to obtain lithium salt. The entire process is fully automatically controlled and recorded to ensure the accuracy and integrity of the test results.
[0130] Specifically:
[0131] 1) The raw salt lake brine is sent to the adsorption separation device 71 via the feed pump 7113 for adsorption separation. The desorption water temperature is controlled at 35°C. After adsorption separation, the qualified liquid is produced and sent to the qualified liquid storage tank 712. It is then sent to the reverse osmosis device 721 by the RO membrane feed pump 7213.
[0132] 2) The qualified liquid is concentrated and purified in reverse osmosis unit 721, and the resulting concentrated liquid is then sent to nanofiltration unit 722 for separation and purification. The qualified liquid is first transported by RO membrane feed pump 7213 to reverse osmosis unit 721 for treatment. After treatment through the RO membrane, the product water effluent is recycled, while the concentrate effluent enters RO membrane discharge tank 7215. It is then transported by NF membrane feed pump 7223 to nanofiltration unit 722 for treatment. The fresh water effluent after nanofiltration membrane treatment is then sent to NF membrane discharge tank 7225 and then to electrodialysis unit 73. Electrodialysis feed pump 734 transports the treated liquid to first membrane stack 731 for further separation, purification, and concentration. The product liquid after treatment in first membrane stack 731 is then transported to electrodialysis discharge tank 735. After further concentration through electrodialysis, the lithium-rich solution can reach approximately 15-18 g / L. The resin impurity removal feed pump 743 then pumps the solution to the resin deep impurity removal unit 74 for fine removal of calcium, magnesium, and boron. The output then enters the resin discharge tank 744, where calcium and magnesium in the lithium-rich solution are reduced to less than 10 ppm, and the boron content is reduced to less than 20 ppm. After continuous treatment in the electrodialysis unit 73 and the resin deep impurity removal unit 74, the lithium-rich solution can reach a lithium concentration of 17-20 g / L.
[0133] 3) The output liquid is first transported from the resin discharge storage tank 744 to the evaporation feed pump 756 for further processing. The evaporation device 75 is set to be heated to 100°C. After evaporation, separation and purification, the lithium concentration of the output liquid can be increased, and the impurity content in the output lithium-rich solution is greatly reduced. The lithium-rich solution is transported to the evaporation discharge storage tank 755. The lithium concentration of the concentrated solution can reach 20-25g / L, so that the lithium precipitation reaction can be carried out.
[0134] 4) The lithium-rich solution after evaporation and purification is then sent to the lithium precipitation device 76, and transported to the lithium precipitation reactor 762 by the lithium precipitation feed pump 761. Sodium carbonate is then added and heated to about 80°C. After stirring and reaction, the crystallized slurry is added to the thickener 764 for further thickening treatment, and then separated by the solid-liquid separation component 765 to obtain a filter cake. The filter cake is further washed by the washing component 766 to remove impurities, and then dried by the drying component 767 to obtain lithium carbonate. The main content of lithium carbonate in the product can reach 88-99.5%.

It is simple to operate, has a flexible experimental site, requires little experimental personnel, and can simulate the entire experimental process of adsorption + membrane coupling to lithium precipitation reaction, greatly improving the experimental efficiency. After modular assembly, the entire set of experimental equipment can be flexibly transported to the salt lake site for simulation experiments, realizing the simulation of the entire production process line from salt lake brine to lithium carbonate, which greatly improves the efficiency of resource development, realizes the efficient comprehensive utilization of resources, and produces good economic benefits.
