The invention provides a novel method for preparing battery grade
lithium carbonate by using
tantalum niobium tailings lithium mica. The method is characterized by comprising the following steps of: crushing
lithium mica powder until
granularity is 100 to 200 meshes, adding the crushed lithium
mica powder and 30 to 70 percent
sulfuric acid solution in a
solid and liquid
mass ratio of 1:(2-8) into a reaction device, reacting at the temperature of between 60 and 200 DEG C for 3 to 10 hours to obtain the
sulfuric acid solution which contains Li<+>, and separating to remove
fluorine-containing solution; performing filtering separation on the
sulfuric acid solution which contains the Li<+>, and fully washing the filter residue with water to remove the filter residue and obtain filtrate which serves as
mother liquor 1; changing the temperature of the
mother liquor to be between 10 and 100 DEG C with stirring, separating solids, namely
rubidium,
caesium and
alum, performing filtering separation, washing the filter residue, and recovering the filtrate as
mother liquor 2; adding
calcium hydroxide into the mother liquor 2, and controlling the pH value of the solution to between 2 and 7 to obtain
solid and liquid
mixed solution of
neutralization reaction; performing filtering separation on the
solid and liquid
mixed solution, washing and filtering the filter residue, and recovering the filtrate as mother liquor 3; performing
evaporation concentration on the mother liquor 3, controlling the concentration of the Li<+> in the solution to be between 40 and 65g / l, and filtering to obtain the filtrate serving as mother liquor 4; and blowing
carbon dioxide into the mother liquor 4 at the temperature of between 95 and 105 DEG C under 2 atmospheres and performing lithium-sinking reaction for 40 to 100 minutes, filtering and mechanically separating to obtain
lithium carbonate, washing with water, and
drying to obtain the battery grade
lithium carbonate product.
