Problems solved by technology

The disadvantage is that lithium ore powder has strong hygroscopicity. In order to maintain a high concentration of strong alkali, an excessive amount of strong alkali solution must be added to maintain the reaction in a liquid environment. The process is cumbersome

Abstract

The invention discloses a technology for extracting lithium by processing lithium ores through a high-pressure steaming process. The technology comprises the following steps: mixing lithium ore powder with a powdery solid strong alkali for 20-40min to uniformity, directly letting in high-pressure steam, and carrying out dissolving and reacting of the powdery solid strong alkali and the lithium ores through utilizing water in the high-pressure water at a high temperature under a high pressure to completely generate soluble substances. In the invention, the strong alkali in the above reaction materials dissolves through absorbing water molecules in the water steam, so the application amount of the strong alkali can be substantially reduced, and the cost is saved. Lithium, sodium, potassium, rubidium and cesium ions in the lithium ores can be completely dissolved in a solution, so the lithium extraction is convenient, and the lithium yield is high. Fluorine in the lithium ores does not form strong-corrosion hydrofluoric acid corroding apparatuses. Reaction byproducts comprising an alumina sol and a silica sol can be directly sold, so the lithium extraction reaction cost is correspondingly reduced.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a process for extracting lithium by treating lithium ore with a high-pressure steam method, which belongs to the field of metallurgy. Background technique [0002] my country is rich in lithium resources, such as Keketuohai in Xinjiang, spodumene in northwestern Sichuan, and lepidolite in Yichun, Jiangxi, etc., all have abundant lithium resources waiting to be utilized. The development of my country's current lithium industry mainly extracts lithium from spodumene and lepidolite. The main methods include: 1. The sulfate roasting method. Lithium produces lithium carbonate. However, this method consumes a lot of potassium salt and has very strict requirements on the roasting temperature. According to the characteristics of high potassium content in lepidolite in Yichun, Guangzhou Research Institute of Nonferrous Metals in my country has studied a new process of leaching in the first and second stages of kraft roasting. It has th...
