The invention relates to a method and a device for separating magnesium and lithium and enriching the lithium from salt lake brine. The method comprises the following steps of: separating an electrodialyzing device into two areas by using an anion exchange membrane, namely a lithium salt chamber and a brine chamber, filling the salt lake brine in the brine chamber, and filling a supporting electrolyte solution which does not contain Mg<2+> in the lithium salt chamber; placing a conducting matrix coated by an ionic sieve in the brine chamber as a cathode; placing the conducting matrix coated by a lithium-embedded ionic sieve in the lithium salt chamber as an anode; under the driving of an external electric potential, embedding Li <1+> in the brine in the brine chamber into the ionic sieve to form the lithium-embedded ionic sieve, and recovering the lithium-embedded ionic sieve into the ionic sieve after the lithium-embedded ionic sieve in the lithium salt chamber releases the Li <1+> into a conducting solution; and discharging a liquid in the brine chamber after the lithium is embedded, adding the salt lake brine again, alternatively placing electrodes in the two chambers, and repeating and circulating operations. Through the method and the device for separating magnesium and lithium and enriching lithium in the salt lake brine, the separation of the lithium and other ions is effectively realized, and a lithium-enriched solution is synchronously obtained. The method has a short flow and low production cost, is simple to operate, can be operated continuously, and is easy to industrially apply.

The invention discloses a salt lake brine treatment method for separating lithium from high-magnesium-lithium-ratio salt lake brine. The treatment method comprises the steps that S1, the salt lake brine is subjected to multistage salt pan evaporation to form first old brine; S2, sulphur removal is conducted: lime milk is added to the first old brine for separating out gypsum, and second old brine is obtained; S3, the second old brine is subjected to salt pan evaporation, bischofite is separated out, and third old brine is obtained; S4, the third old brine is diluted, and sent to a nanofiltration membrane device for nanofiltration treatment, and contributing water rich in lithium and thick water poor in lithium are obtained; and S5, the contributing water in Step S4 is sent to a reverse osmosis membrane device for reverse osmosis treatment, and reverse osmosis thick water and fresh water are obtained. The method combines a salt pan technology with a membrane system, makes full use of solar energy, and reduces energy consumption; a technological process is simple; equipment is easy to configure, mount and transfer; popularization and an application are very easy.

The invention relates to a method for preenriching and separating lithium and boron from salt lake brine by liquid-liquid-liquid three-phase extraction, which comprises the following steps: adding water-soluble auxiliary extractant into a salt lake concentrated brine solution, regulating the pH value of the brine, adding water-soluble high molecular polymer, and thoroughly mixing at room temperature to obtain an upper / lower two-layer liquid-phase system; adding organic extractant, and mixing to obtain an upper / middle / lower three-layer liquid-phase system; and taking the upper and middle phases from the three-liquid-phase system, and respectively recovering lithium and boron in the upper and middle phases by back washing. The invention can simultaneously enrich and extract lithium and boron by one-step extraction from high-magnesium / lithium-ratio salt lake brine, and can separate the lithium and boron from abundant coexistent ions of magnesium, calcium and other impurity metals in the brine. The lithium and boron are respectively selectively enriched from the upper and middle phases in the three-liquid-phase system to implement primary separation, thereby facilitating the subsequent purification and refinement. The three-liquid-phase extraction can be carried out under neutral or weakly-acidic conditions, and has strong adaptability.
