Description

Method for removing carbonate radical from lithium precipitation mother liquor
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of environmental protection, and relates to a method for removing carbonate from lithium precipitation mother liquor.
Background
Along with the increasing shortage of traditional energy sources such as petroleum, the development of new energy sources is more and more emphasized, and particularly, the demand of lithium batteries is increasing sharply. The lithium carbonate is an important component of a lithium battery, and is generally precipitated by adopting excessive sodium carbonate in industry, solid lithium carbonate and precipitated lithium mother solution are obtained after solid-liquid separation, and due to the problem of lithium precipitation efficiency, more lithium ions are contained in the precipitated lithium mother solution, and if the part of precipitated lithium mother solution is directly discharged, a large amount of lithium is lost. Therefore, the lithium deposition mother liquor is evaporated and concentrated to deposit lithium again, and the carbonate radical needs to be removed before the lithium deposition mother liquor enters an evaporation system, and at present, the industrial process firstly uses sulfuric acid to remove the carbonate radical in the lithium deposition mother liquor, and then uses liquid alkali to adjust the value of the lithium deposition mother liquor to be neutral and then enters the evaporation and concentration system.
For example, CN113912090a discloses a method for recovering high-purity lithium carbonate by causticizing a lithium precipitation mother liquor and freezing and removing mirabilite, wherein a certain amount of calcium oxide is added into the lithium precipitation mother liquor for causticizing and stirring, the pH of the solution is regulated to be 12-14, the reaction is carried out for 2.0-8.5 hours, the temperature is 30-60 ℃, calcium carbonate precipitation and causticizing liquid are obtained after filtration, and carbonate radical in the lithium precipitation mother liquor is removed. For example, CN112158865a discloses a method for recycling lithium element in a lithium precipitation mother liquor, wherein the method for removing lithium carbonate is to add hydrochloric acid into the lithium precipitation mother liquor, control the pH value of the mother liquor to be in the range of 4-7, add chloride ion of hydrochloric acid with a molar amount 1.5-3.0 times of that of carbonate ion in the solution, mix the lithium precipitation mother liquor and hydrochloric acid, then sequentially stir in a buffer tank, heat while stirring, so that carbon dioxide generated in the solution is discharged, and remove carbonate. For example, CN105347364a discloses a method for closed-loop recovery of lithium precipitation mother liquor in lithium carbonate production, wherein the method for removing carbonate is as follows: hydrochloric acid is added into the lithium precipitation mother solution, the pH value of the mother solution is controlled within the range of 3.5-6.5, the molar quantity of chloride ions added into the hydrochloric acid is 1.1-3.0 times of the molar quantity of carbonate ions in the solution, and carbon dioxide generated in the solution is discharged out of the system as soon as possible through stirring, heating, natural evaporation and vacuumizing modes, so that the purpose of removing carbonate radicals is achieved.
However, the method for removing the carbonate is complicated, and the pH value of the mother solution needs to be adjusted by adding the pH regulator, which takes a long time and is not beneficial to expanding production.
Based on the above, in order to avoid the use of acid liquor and alkali liquor, a method for removing carbonate from the lithium precipitation mother liquor with high efficiency and green color needs to be invented.

As can be seen from the data of comparative example 1, if the lithium precipitation mother liquor, the aluminum salt and the nickel cobalt manganese wastewater are mixed together, although carbonate in the lithium precipitation mother liquor can be removed, relatively more impurity ions remain in the primary filtrate due to the interaction between the aluminum ions and the nickel ions, the manganese ions and the cobalt ions, and the aluminum ions also affect the formation of nickel cobalt manganese carbonate slag.
As can be seen from the data of comparative example 2, carbonate in the lithium precipitation mother liquor cannot be removed well by simply using calcium oxide, and relatively more calcium ions remain in the obtained primary filtrate.
