The present invention is directed to a novel integrated process for the recovery of sulphate of potash (SOP) from sulphate rich bittern. The process requires bittern and lime as raw materials. Kainite type mixed salt is obtained by fractional crystallization of the bittern, and is converted to schoenite which is subsequently reacted with muriate of potash (MOP) for its conversion to SOP. End liquor from kainite to schoenite conversion (SEL) is desulphated and supplemented with MgCl2 using end bittern generated in the process of making carnallite. Decomposed carnallite liquor produced is reacted with hydrated lime for preparing CaCl2 solution and high purity Mg(OH)2 having low boron content. It is shown that the liquid streams containing potash are recycled in the process, and the recovery of potash in the form of SOP is quantitative.

The invention discloses a method for preparing lithium salt ore from plateau sulfate type salt lake brine. The method comprises the following steps of: evaporating sulfate type salt lake brine to be in the sodium chloride saturated state, freezing in winter to separate out mirabilite, and carrying out solid-liquid separation when the content of the sulfate ion in the brine is controlled to be 1g / L to 7g / L; evaporating the brine from which the mirabilite is separated out, so as to separate sodium chloride; evaporating the brine from which the sodium chloride is separated out, so as to separate out sylvine, carnallite and epsomite, carrying out solid-liquid separation when the lithium ion concentration in the brine is controlled to be greater than or equal to 6g / L, wherein the brine subjected to solid-liquid separation is the brine with high magnesium chloride content; mixing the brine with high magnesium chloride content with the mirabilite to react so as to separate out sodium salt and magnesium salt, and carrying out solid-liquid separation when the magnesium-lithium ratio in the solution is controlled to be less than or equal to 8:1, so as to obtain boron-lithium-rich brine; and reacting the boron-lithium-rich brine with water to separate out boron rock, carrying out solid-liquid separation so as to obtain lithium-rich brine; and introducing the lithium-rich brine into a lithium salt pool, and evaporating so as to separate out the lithium salt ore.

The present invention provides a process for recovering Li values from a sodium saturated brine. The process includes recovering Li values from a sodium saturated brine which contains LiX. The process includes concentrating the sodium saturated brine to at least 9000 mg / l LiX, passing the concentrated brine through a bed of polycrystalline hydrated alumina pellets until the pellets are loaded with LiX from the concentrated brine, displacing brine held-up in the bed by using concentrated NaX, unloading LiX from the pellets by flowing through the bed an aqueous solution of LiX which is not saturated, displacing the LiX from the bed using concentrated NaX, and repeating the steps at least one additional time to provide the Li values.
