The invention provides a preparation method of battery grade
lithium carbonate. The preparation method is characterized by preparing
slurry from industrial
lithium carbonate, pumping the
slurry into a first-order reaction kettle, introducing collected CO2, carrying out full reaction, then carrying out
filtration to obtain filter residues, preparing
slurry from the filter residues, pumping the slurry into a second-order reaction kettle, introducing collected CO2, carrying out full reaction, then carrying out
filtration to obtain filter residues, preparing slurry from the filter residues, pumping the slurry into a third-order reaction kettle, introducing high-purity CO2, carrying out full reaction and then carrying out
filtration; firstly pumping the filtrate obtained after each-order filtration into a
decomposition reaction kettle, then transferring the filtrate to a causticization reaction kettle, adding a Ca(OH)2 solution, carrying out immediate filtration and washing to obtain filtrates, pumping the filtrates into a concentration kettle, pumping the concentrate into a synthesis kettle after the concentrate passes through a column filled with
ion exchange resin and introducing high-purity CO2, thus preparing high-purity battery grade
lithium carbonate. The preparation method has the beneficial effects that by utilizing the
advantage that
lithium carbonate can undergo hydrogenation and efficiently utilize high-purity CO2, CO2 is recycled in the reaction process and foreign ions in the kettles can be ensured to be removed, thus reducing the production cost.
