Abstract

The invention discloses a method for producing lithium carbonate by leaching lepidolite with nitric acid. The method comprises the following steps: calcining and ball-milling spodumene; water is added for pulping, nitric acid is added into the pulp for nitric acid secondary reverse leaching, and leaching liquid and leaching residues are obtained; adjusting the pH value of the leachate; monovalent ionic liquid and non-monovalent element compound precipitates are obtained; extracting rubidium and cesium salts and a solution after the rubidium and cesium salts are extracted from the monovalent ionic liquid by adopting an extracting agent and a diluting agent; crystallizing and separating the solution from which the rubidium salt and the cesium salt are extracted, and performing membrane treatment on the crystallized solution to obtain a mixture of HNO3, LiOH and NaOH; and crystallizing the LiOH and NaOH mixture to separate out a LiOH product, carbonizing the crystallized mother liquor 1 to generate a Li2CO3 product, and recycling the carbonized mother liquor 2. According to the method, potassium, rubidium, cesium, sodium and leaching residues are recycled while lithium is extracted, the comprehensive utilization rate of lithium ore is increased, complexity of a traditional production process is simplified, the process production cost is reduced, the added value of products is increased, and maximum resource utilization is achieved.
