The present application relates to the technical field of separation and purification of
inorganic materials, and specifically discloses a method for preparing
lithium carbonate from
lithium ore. The preparation method comprises: pre-treating the
lithium ore, adding water, stirring and leaching, and filtering to obtain a
leachate; adding a complexing agent to the
leachate, mixing, filtering, collecting a
filter cake, adding deionized water and a complexing agent to the
filter cake, and simultaneously introducing
carbon dioxide to obtain a solution containing
lithium bicarbonate; mixing with a cationic
chelating resin, reacting, filtering, and collecting a filtrate to obtain a first
mixed solution; mixing the first
mixed solution with an anion exchange resin, reacting, filtering, and collecting a filtrate to obtain a second
mixed solution; adding
sodium carbonate to the second mixed solution, mixing, filtering, and obtaining a crude
lithium carbonate product; repeatedly washing with water, filtering, and
drying to obtain
lithium carbonate. The method for preparing
lithium carbonate from lithium ore of the present application has the advantages of reducing impurities and improving the purity of lithium
carbonate through the synergistic effect between the steps.
