specific Embodiment approach

[0044] As a specific embodiment, the method may further include: returning the second recrystallization mother liquor to step S4 to mix with the evaporative crystallization precipitate to perform the first dissolution and recrystallization treatment. In another specific embodiment, the method may further include: returning the first recrystallization mother liquor to step S3 to mix with the mixed lye to perform the evaporative crystallization treatment. The recovery rate of comprehensive lithium can be effectively improved by reusing the two times of dissolution and recrystallization mother liquor as the stock solution of the upper stage evaporation crystallization and / or dissolution crystallization.

[0045] According to the present disclosure, the temperature of evaporative crystallization treatment can be 50-100°C, and the crystallization rate is 40-200g / h; preferably, the temperature is 60-85°C, and the crystallization rate is 50-150g / h, so as to further reduce impurities i...

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure relates to the field of lithium ion extraction, in particular, to a method for extracting lithium and battery-grade lithium hydroxide monohydrate. Background technique [0002] In recent years, the rapid development of the new energy industry has greatly stimulated the demand for upstream lithium resources. Battery-grade lithium hydroxide monohydrate and lithium carbonate are the main raw materials for the synthesis of lithium-ion battery ternary cathode materials and lithium iron phosphate materials, and their demand has also greatly increased. [0003] At present, the sources of lithium salt products in my country are mainly the extraction of lithium from lithium ore and the extraction of lithium from salt lake brine. The technology of extracting lithium from lithium ore has been developed for a long time and the technology is relatively mature. However, the reserves of lithium ore resources in my country are very limited, and ...
