Description

Method for recycling lithium from lithium precipitation mother liquor by closed cycle method
Technical Field
The invention relates to a method for treating a lithium precipitation mother solution, in particular to a method for recovering lithium from the lithium precipitation mother solution by a closed cycle method, and belongs to the technical field of lithium extraction.
Background
Lithium carbonate (Li) 2 CO 3 ) Is one of the most common lithium salts, widely used in the glass, enamel, ceramic industries as a fluxing agent and reactant.
In addition, the development of the lithium ion battery is well-blown, the demand for lithium carbonate is increasingly tense, and the high-efficiency recycling and economic value of lithium is remarkable. Since lithium carbonate is slightly soluble in water, there are two inevitable problems involved in the production of lithium salts: 1. the direct yield of lithium is low in the process of precipitating lithium by carbonate; 2. in Li 2 CO 3 A large amount of wastewater with high Na/Li ratio is generated in the precipitation process, and the treatment process of the wastewater is complex and has high cost. In the prior art, the treatment method for the lithium precipitation mother liquor mainly adopts phosphoric acid compounds to further precipitate lithium to obtain lithium phosphate with lower solubility, the mother liquor after separating lithium phosphate is concentrated and crystallized to obtain sodium chloride, and the lithium phosphate is required to be converted into lithium carbonate in multiple steps, so that the overall lithium recovery rate is lower.
Disclosure of Invention
Aiming at the defects existing in the prior art, the invention aims to provide a method for recycling lithium from lithium precipitation mother liquor by a closed cycle method, which realizes that sodium ions in the lithium precipitation mother liquor are open-circuited in a sodium chloride form, and the lithium ions can circularly enter a leaching system, thereby not only solving the technical problem of low direct yield of the lithium ions in the lithium precipitation process, but also avoiding the generation of high Na/Li salt-containing wastewater.
In order to achieve the technical aim, the invention provides a method for recycling lithium from lithium precipitation mother liquor by a closed cycle method.
As a preferable scheme, the ratio of the concentration of sodium ions to the concentration of lithium ions in the lithium precipitation mother solution is higher than 15:1. The lithium precipitation mother liquor is a typical high Na/Li ratio solution.
As a preferable scheme, the chlorine-containing compound is at least one of HCl gas, chlorine gas and hydrochloric acid. The chlorine-containing compounds can be selected to achieve the purpose of selectively separating out sodium ions by regulating and controlling the concentration of chloride ions and hydrogen ions in a solution system, new metal ions are not introduced, and the liquid after precipitating the sodium ions is mainly an acidic solution containing lithium ions and can be directly used as a leaching agent for leaching lithium-containing materials.
As a preferable embodiment, the hydrochloric acid concentration is 6 to 12mol/L. If the concentration of the hydrochloric acid is too low, the lithium precipitation mother solution is excessively diluted, so that the difficulty of precipitation of sodium ions is increased.
As a preferred embodiment, the chlorine-containing compound is added in an amount to control H in the sodium chloride precipitation endpoint solution system + The concentration is more than 2mol/L, and the sodium ion concentration is less than 2mol/L. Most of sodium chloride in the system can be separated out with high selectivity by controlling the adding amount of the chlorine-containing compound, and of course, the higher the adding amount of the chlorine-containing compound is, the higher the separating amount of the sodium chloride is, so that the high-selectivity precipitation of the sodium chloride can be realized by controlling the adding amount of the chlorine-containing compound, and the high-efficiency recovery of lithium ions in the lithium precipitation mother solution is ensured. Further preferably, H in the solution system of the sodium chloride precipitation end point + The concentration is 3-6 mol/L. Further preferably, the concentration of sodium ions in the sodium chloride precipitation end point solution system is 0.5 to 1.5mol/L.
As a preferable mode, the temperature condition for precipitation of sodium chloride is 0-60 ℃. Generally, the lower the temperature is, the more favorable the precipitation of sodium chloride, but refrigeration is required under the condition of the excessively low temperature, and the equipment investment is required to be increased. Therefore, room temperature is further preferred.
As a preferred embodiment, the lithium-containing material may be selected from lithium mica, spodumene, battery material, spent lithium carbonate, lithium phosphate and the like. The leaching process of lithium material is a conventional process in the art.
Compared with the prior art, the technical scheme of the invention has the beneficial technical effects that:
according to the technical scheme, sodium precipitation is carried out on the lithium precipitation mother liquor, so that sodium ions in a high Na/Li chlorination system are separated out in a sodium chloride mode in a high selectivity mode, an open circuit of the sodium ions in the sodium chloride mode is realized, the lithium ions remain in the solution and enter the leaching system again, water-soluble lithium carbonate (the lithium carbonate is slightly soluble in water) in the lithium precipitation mother liquor can be recovered, and meanwhile, the solution is utilized to circularly leach lithium-containing materials, so that the concentration of lithium ions in the leaching solution can be increased, and the efficient recovery of lithium is facilitated.
The technical scheme of the invention has the advantages of short process flow, simplicity, practicability, high economic benefit and the like.
