The invention relates to a method for preparing
lithium phosphate from a
lithium-containing solution by using an extraction-reverse extraction technology, an extraction agent adopted in the method comprises a main extraction agent, a synergistic extraction agent and a
diluent, the pKa value of the main extraction agent is greater than 12.5, the synergistic extraction agent has a P = O group, a hydroxyl group or a cavity
diameter of 0.12-0.15 nm, the water
solubility of the synergistic extraction agent is less than or equal to 50 mg / L, the
viscosity is less than or equal to 50 mpa.s, and the
diluent is a
diluent. The synergistic extraction factor R of the extraction agent is more than 100, R = Dmix / (D1 + D2), the Dmix is the extraction distribution ratio of the main extraction agent to
lithium when the main extraction agent and the synergistic extraction agent are mixed according to the
mass ratio of (1: 1)-(1: 2), the D1 is the extraction distribution ratio of the main extraction agent to lithium, the D2 is the extraction distribution ratio of the synergistic extraction agent to lithium, and the stripping agent is
phosphoric acid. According to the method disclosed by the invention, by selecting the main extraction agent and the synergistic extraction agent, on one hand, lithium monohydrogen
phosphate and lithium dihydrogen
phosphate impurities cannot be generated by reaction when
phosphoric acid is adopted for reverse extraction, and on the other hand,
sodium and
potassium can be separated at a higher degree during extraction, so that high-purity
lithium phosphate can be efficiently prepared.
