Abstract

The invention discloses a potassium removal process of a production system for lithium extraction from ore, belonging to the field of wet metallurgy. The invention particularly relates to the field of lithium salt production, and aims to solve the problems of long potassium removal process flow and high potassium removal operation difficulty in conventional removal of potassium in lepidolite. The potassium removal process comprises the following steps: conducting neutralization and nitrate removal through evaporation to generate potassium-rich sodium precipitation mother liquor; adding ferric salt into the potassium-rich sodium precipitation mother liquor with an adjusted pH value to obtain potassium-containing mother liquor; heating the potassium-containing mother liquor to 95 DEG C, and conducting stirring, reacting and crystallizing for 1-3 hours to obtain a suspension; and settling the suspension, carrying out solid-liquid separation, adjusting the pH value of a supernatant to 5-7 by using calcium carbonate, and removing iron. The process is short in process flow, convenient to control, simple in subsequent impurity removal, compatible with a sulfuric-acid-method lithium extraction process, simple in design and easy to implement.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a process for removing potassium in a production system for extracting lithium from ores. The invention belongs to the technical field of hydrometallurgy, and specifically relates to the technical field of lithium salt production. Background technique [0002] Spodumene has always been the main raw material for lithium extraction. It has a simple composition and high lithium content. Li 2 The theoretical content of O is 8.03%, but due to the replacement of sodium and potassium, usually Li 2 The O content ranges from 2.91% to 7.66% (Su Hui et al., Research Progress on the Extraction and Recovery of Lithium from Ore Resources. Acta Chemical Society, 2019, 70(1): 10-23.). In the production process of lithium carbonate and lithium hydroxide, the export of K impurities is less, so in the long-term production process, K is continuously enriched in the production mother liquor, which may easily cause product potassium pollution.
