Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for industrially producing industrial-grade, battery-grade or high-purity lithium hydroxide monohydrate by using lithium ore. Background technique [0002] Lithium is currently known as the lightest silver-white alkali metal with the smallest nucleus radius. Because lithium and its compounds have many unique and excellent properties, they are widely used in glass, ceramics, lubrication, electronics, metallurgy, medicine, refrigeration, aerospace and other fields. With the rising demand for clean energy, lithium energy may have a profound impact on human life, and it is also known as "the energy upstart of the 21st century". Lithium hydroxide monohydrate is one of the most important lithium salts. It is widely used in chemical raw materials, chemical reagents, lithium-ion batteries, petroleum, metallurgy, glass, ceramics and other industries, and is also a traditional Chinese medicine raw material in the defense indus...
