The invention discloses a method for preparing
lithium carbonate by
coupling electric
lithium extraction with
solar pond lithium extraction. The method comprises the following steps:
salt lake brine enters an
ultrafiltration device for purification treatment, and purified brine is obtained; the purified brine enters electric lithium extraction equipment, lithium extraction and lithium concentration are carried out at the same time under the action of an
electric field, and lithium-poor brine and a lithium-rich solution are obtained; adding a saturated
sodium carbonate solution into the lithium-rich solution, uniformly mixing, discharging into a
solar pond for naturally evaporating, concentrating and precipitating lithium, and regularly harvesting
lithium carbonate in the
solar pond. The whole process of extraction, concentration and lithium
precipitation of lithium in the
salt lake brine can be realized by
coupling an electric lithium extraction technology and the solar pond, the
lithium carbonate production process flow is greatly shortened, and compared with the existing salt gradient solar pond process, the process has the advantages that the purity of
lithium carbonate is improved by more than 25%, the yield of lithium
carbonate is improved by more than 40%, and the capacity of a single pond is increased by more than one time; according to the process, the lithium extraction efficiency and the productivity of the salt gradient solar pond are greatly improved, and the process has a relatively good application prospect.
