Problems solved by technology

The limestone sintering method has large material circulation, high energy consumption, low lithium recovery rate and high product cost
[0003] The sulfuric acid method is a traditional production process. First, it is roasted at high temperature, and then the roasted product is soaked with water. The obtained sulfuric acid solution is treated with lime and soda ash to remove magnesium and calcium, and then lithium is precipitated with carbonate. The high energy consumption is challenged.

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for extracting lithium from a primary lithium-extraction solution of lithium ores. The method comprises the following steps: (a) mixing inorganic salt with the primary lithium-extraction solution, removing the precipitates to obtain secondary lithium-extraction solution; (b) carrying out nanofiltration treatment on the secondary lithium-extraction solution, separating mono-valent cation salt solution from multi-valent cation salt solution; and (c) extracting lithium salt from the mono-valent cation salt solution. Other mono-valent and multi-valent salt separation solutions can be concentrated, crystallized or precipitated to obtain the corresponding salts. The invention provides a novel technology which is used for effectively recycling lithium from the lithium ores; the material resource storage capacity is abundant, the process flow is simple and reasonable, the operation is reliable and the energy consumption is low, so that the purpose of reducing the cost and the energy consumption is achieved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for extracting lithium from lithium ore, in particular to a method for separating magnesium and aluminum and enriching lithium from the primary sulfuric acid leaching solution of lithium ore. Background technique [0002] my country's current lithium industry is mainly based on lithium ore processing, and lithium is mainly extracted from spodumene and lepidolite. Lithium extraction from lithium ore has a long history and has been continuously innovated in its development. The technology is divided into two categories: alkaline method and acid method. Alkali methods include limestone sintering method and soda ash pressure cooking method; acid methods include sulfuric acid method, sodium acetate method and chloride method, among which limestone sintering method and sulfuric acid method are the main means for lithium extraction from lithium ore. The limestone sintering method has large material circulation, high energy c...
