Abstract

The invention provides a method for preparing lithium hydroxide from lithium-containing low-magnesium brine in the form of lithium phosphate, and relates to the technical field of salt lake lithium extraction. The method comprises the following steps of: adjusting the pH value of the lithium-containing low-magnesium brine to be more than 10 by adopting an inorganic alkaline compound to precipitatecalcium and magnesium to obtain calcium and magnesium removed lithium-containing brine; adding a phosphoric acid solution to carry out precipitation reaction, centrifuging and washing the obtained lithium phosphate precipitate, and dissolving the lithium phosphate precipitate in a phosphoric acid solution to obtain a lithium dihydrogen phosphate solution; and purifying the lithium dihydrogen phosphate solution, then carrying out bipolar membrane electrodialysis, and concentrating and crystallizing the obtained lithium hydroxide solution to obtain a lithium hydroxide product. The method disclosed by the invention is simple and convenient to operate, high in removal rate of calcium, magnesium, sodium and potassium in the lithium-containing low-magnesium brine, high in material cyclic utilization rate, low in cost, and capable of continuously preparing lithium hydroxide, and the purity of the electrolyzed lithium hydroxide product is improved. The method is particularly suitable for extracting lithium from salt lakes of remote Tibet, Qinghai and South America featuring high raw material transportation cost and low photovoltaic power generation and energy storage cost.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of lithium extraction from salt lakes, in particular to a method for preparing lithium hydroxide from lithium-containing low-magnesium brine in the form of lithium phosphate. Background technique [0002] At present, lithium is widely used in various fields such as lithium batteries, glass, ceramics, alloys, lubricants, and medicine. According to the source of lithium resources, it can be divided into brine type and ore type. Lithium extraction from ores is the process of beneficiation, high-temperature calcination, leaching, purification, concentration and precipitation of ores such as spodumene, lepidolite, lithium feldspar and hectorite. These processes require high energy consumption. Lithium extraction from ores The overall cost of lithium extraction from ore is relatively high, and the price of lithium salt for lithium extraction from ore is difficult to further decrease. Unlike ore resources, there ...
