The invention discloses a method for extracting
lithium from
lithium-containing resources, and belongs to the technical field of
lithium extraction processes. The method comprises the following steps: firstly, mixing a lithium-containing material with composite salt to prepare
powder, then pressing into blocks,
roasting to obtain block materials, carrying out ball-milling crushing on the block materials, adding dilute sulphuric acid, carrying out
wet milling, filtering to obtain filtrate, then measuring the concentration of each
metal ion in the filtrate and combining related thermodynamic data, calculating the amount of a precipitant required by
impurity removal and the optimal pH value of
impurity precipitation, finally adding the precipitant into the filtrate according to a calculation result, adjusting the pH value, and filtering to obtain a purified lithium solution; according to the method, the composite salt and the lithium-containing material are jointly roasted, the
roasting temperature is effectively reduced through low-melting-point
persulfate, the
energy consumption is reduced, the optimal
impurity removal condition can be obtained innovatively through calculation, a large amount of early-stage exploration experiment cost and time are saved, and the method is suitable for industrial production. And the lithium element is retained to the maximum extent while the impurities are removed to the maximum extent, and the method has wide adaptability.
