The invention discloses a method for extracting
lithium by
roasting electrolyte at low temperature. The method comprises the following steps: 1, decarbonizing, crushing and sieving
lithium-containing electrolytic waste residues of waste
electrolyte; 2, fully mixing an
electrolyte and an auxiliary material, and carrying out low-temperature
roasting; 3, mixing
sulfuric acid with water to obtain an acid solution; 4, after the clinker is cooled, adding the acid solution according to a certain proportion to carry out low-temperature leaching, and carrying out filter pressing on a leaching solution to obtain a first filtrate and a first filter residue; and 5, adding
sodium carbonate into the first filtrate after
lithium precipitation, carrying out a heating reaction by using a constant-temperature water bath kettle, and filtering, washing and
drying after the reaction to obtain a finished product
lithium carbonate. 6, adding the first filter residue into an acid solution, and performing auxiliary leaching, stirring and filtering by utilizing ultrasonic
waves to obtain a second filtrate and a second filter residue; the second filter residue is used for extracting
aluminum fluoride after being washed, and the second filtrate can be returned to the size mixing process again for cyclic utilization. According to the method, lithium can be extracted at a high
recovery rate, generation of harmful substances such as
hydrogen fluoride is effectively reduced, and by-products in the
recovery process can be subjected to
resource utilization through an innovative technology and process and are converted into products with high
additional values, so that the production cost can be obviously reduced.
