The invention discloses a battery-grade
lithium hydroxide monohydrate production method based on combined efficient
calcium removal, which comprises the following steps: carrying out
roasting, ball milling, acidification, leaching and plate-frame pressure
filtration on
spodumene to obtain a
lithium sulfate solution, and further alkalifying and removing impurities, namely adding liquid caustic soda and a Na2CO3 solution into the
lithium sulfate solution subjected to pressure
filtration to carry out purification and
impurity removal;
calcium hydroxide and
calcium carbonate precipitates are formed; sequentially carrying out filtering separation, MVR concentration and secondary filtering separation to ensure that the calcium
ion concentration of the concentrated
lithium sulfate solution is controlled to be less than 20ppm; adding a
sodium hydroxide solution into the
clear liquid treated by the plate-and-frame
filter press, and mixing to obtain a
lithium hydroxide solution and a
sodium sulfate solution; and carrying out plate-and-frame pressure
filtration and fine filtration, freezing to separate out
sodium, carrying out fine filtration, carrying out crude product MVR concentration, re-dissolving, and carrying out secondary plate-and-frame pressure filtration and fine filtration. The method has the advantages that calcium is deeply removed, the quality of the battery-grade
lithium hydroxide product is guaranteed, the production efficiency is improved, the cost is reduced, the technological process is simplified, and high efficiency and environment friendliness are achieved.
