The application discloses a purification method of
lithium carbonate, which comprises the following steps: mixing industrial-grade
lithium carbonate with water according to a certain proportion and stirring to carry out beating; under the stirring condition,
carbon dioxide is introduced into the solution after beating to carry out a reaction, so that a
lithium bicarbonate solution is obtained; after the reaction is completed,
barium hydroxide is added dropwise into the
lithium bicarbonate solution, and then
filtration is carried out; a small amount of
hydrofluoric acid is added dropwise into the obtained filtrate, and then
filtration is carried out; the obtained
lithium bicarbonate filtrate is subjected to a cation exchange column, so that a relatively pure
lithium bicarbonate solution is obtained; the obtained lithium
bicarbonate filtrate is subjected to
pyrolysis crystallization,
lithium carbonate crystals are obtained after
filtration; the obtained
lithium carbonate crystals are stirred with a certain amount of
ultrapure water, and then filtration and washing are carried out, so that high-purity
lithium carbonate is obtained. The application can obtain high-purity lithium
carbonate with a purity of greater than or equal to 99.99%, the amount of
hydrofluoric acid added in the process is smaller, the purpose of
impurity removal can be achieved, and the influence on the product yield is reduced as much as possible.
