[0006] Chinese patent CN8610311A discloses a patent titled "Technical Scheme for Extracting Rubidium and Cesium from Weathering Crust of Acid-Alkaline Magmatic Rock or Ion-Exchange Rare Earth Ore". The extraction agent used is highly toxic and has poor selectivity, which limits its application to a large extent.
This method is to directly extract and recover rubidium and cesium from the solution, and the content of rubidium and cesium in the mother liquor of lithium extraction from spodumene is relatively small. the cost of

Embodiment 1

[0070] Step 1: Add sulfuric acid to neutralize the carbonate radical in the lithium mother liquor of spodumene (the components of the mother liquor are shown in Table 1), so that pH=2 in the mother liquor of lithium extraction. 15% ferric sulfate was added, kept at 90°C for 240min, and filtered to obtain the precipitate of rubidium and cesium salt. Then add the obtained rubidium and cesium salt precipitate into water according to the solid-liquid ratio of 1:5, then dissolve it with hydrochloric acid until clear, finally adjust the pH to 10 with NaOH, filter to separate the iron element from the rubidium and cesium, and obtain the rubidium and cesium salt solution at the solid-liquid ratio , the obtained rubidium and cesium salt solution can be used for extraction and separation in the subsequent section.

[0071] Step 2: Adjust the alkalinity of the rubidium and cesium salt solution obtained in the above step 1 to OH with sodium hydroxide - Concentration is 1.2mol / L, obtains ...

Embodiment 2

[0081] Step 1: Add hydrochloric acid to neutralize the carbonate radical in the mother liquor of spodumene for extracting lithium (the components of the mother liquor for extracting lithium are shown in Table 4), so that the pH of the solution is 3, and then the total amount of rubidium and cesium is calculated by an excess of 50%. Add tin tetrachloride, filter to obtain the precipitation of rubidium and cesium salt, then add the obtained rubidium and cesium salt precipitation into pure water at a solid-to-liquid ratio of 1:3, heat until the rubidium and cesium salt are completely dissolved, adjust the pH to 7 and filter to make the tin The element is separated from rubidium and cesium, and the obtained tin element can be purified and returned to the front for reuse. Obtain rubidium cesium salt solution.

[0082] Step 2: Adjust the alkalinity of the rubidium and cesium salt solution obtained in the above step 1 to OH with sodium hydroxide - Concentration is 1.5mol / L, obtains ...

Embodiment 3

[0092] Step 1: In the lithium mother liquor of spodumene (the components of the mother liquor are shown in Table 7), sulfuric acid is added to neutralize the carbonate radical, so that pH=1 in the mother liquor of lithium extraction, and then based on the total amount of rubidium and cesium, the excess Add 20% aluminum sulfate solution, stir well, then cool to 0°C to precipitate rubidium and cesium salt. Filtrate to obtain the precipitation of rubidium and cesium salt, then add the obtained rubidium and cesium salt precipitation into pure water according to the solid-liquid ratio of 1:5, heat until the rubidium and cesium salt are completely dissolved, adjust the pH to 5 with NaOH and filter to make the aluminum element and rubidium and cesium salt Separation to obtain rubidium cesium salt solution.

[0093] Step 2: Adjust the alkalinity of the rubidium and cesium salt solution obtained in the above step 1 to OH with sodium hydroxide - Concentration is 0.1mol / L, obtains feed ...

Abstract

The invention relates to a recovery method for a mother liquor for extracting lithium from spodumene, in particular to a method for extracting rubidium and cesium salts from the mother liquor for extracting lithium from spodumene. The technical problem solved by the invention is to provide a low-cost method for extracting rubidium and cesium salts from spodumene lithium extraction mother liquor. In this method, the lithium-extracting mother liquor of spodumene is used as the raw material, the rubidium and cesium in the lithium-extracting mother liquor are first precipitated, and then the solid is enriched and then dissolved, extracted and separated, and the rubidium and cesium valuable metals are comprehensively utilized, reducing the rubidium and cesium The cost of cesium extraction can produce considerable economic benefits. Moreover, the method of the present invention can extract rubidium and cesium at low temperature and normal pressure. The operation is simple, the energy consumption is low, the processing capacity is large, it is beneficial to continuous operation, the production cost is low, the waste water is returned to the lithium extraction workshop, and the closed circuit cycle is realized in the process, and the waste water is zero discharged. .
