The application discloses a method for high-selectivity
recovery of
beryllium from
lithium smelting beryllium-containing clinker, and belongs to the technical field of
beryllium-containing
solid waste
resource utilization. After the
lithium smelting beryllium-containing clinker is crushed,
slurry is prepared, and under the shearing action, concentrated acid is slowly added dropwise to the
slurry to precisely control the pH of the
slurry in the range of 3.0-3.5 to perform reaction. After the reaction is completed,
solid-liquid separation is performed to obtain beryllium-containing filtrate. The beryllium-containing filtrate is subjected to
precipitation by using a
sodium hydroxide solution to precisely control the end-point pH of the beryllium-containing filtrate in the range of 8.5-9.0, and a composite precipitate containing
beryllium hydroxide and
potassium sodium cryolite is obtained. The method completely breaks the traditional situation of '
waste production waste', not only realizes efficient separation of the highly toxic beryllium, but also directly converts the beryllium-containing
solid waste into 'rich beryllium
potassium sodium cryolite composite concentrate' with a main phase of crystalline
potassium sodium
cryolite and a beryllium grade of more than 5.5%, realizing double high-value extraction of trace metals (beryllium) and bulk minerals (cryolite).
