8, the solar pond method is utilized carbonate type bittern, and spontaneous evaporation Quilonum Retard to the bittern is saturated under the normal temperature, move to again in the solar pond, utilize solar heating bittern, because Quilonum Retard is retrograde solubility, with the rising of temperature, the principle that solubleness descends is separated out Quilonum Retard in bittern.
9, the technique of utilizing the old halogen in salt lake to produce high-purity magnesium oxide and lithium salts that Chinese patent ZL200710024943.8 proposes.
Domestic salt lake resources is according to ore reserve latest survey data, and the Qinghai-Tibet Platean has 352 in salt lake, and the total area reaches 2.1465 ten thousand square kilometres, and the salt lake mainly contains carbonate type and two kinds of hydrochemical types of sulfate type.But Tibet up to the present, only have the Zha Buye salt lake through the more than ten years research of Quilonum Retard, test to be formed certain industrial scale, and the rate that obtains of Quilonum Retard is about 25%, the quality product lithium carbonate containing is 60~70%, therefore other has several salt lakes also among test, and the exploitation for the Salt Lake on Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau lithium resource provides a new approach extremely urgent.
Carbonate type contains lithium bittern in the process of extracting Quilonum Retard, the enrichment of lithium in bittern is a difficult problem, because the solubleness of Quilonum Retard is very little, and be again retrograde solubility, according to Tibetan Salt Lakes to the enrichment data of lithium in bittern, the saturated content of lithium is about 1.5g/l in the summer bittern, the saturated content of lithium is about 2.5g/l in the winter bittern, namely large in spontaneous evaporation in summer amount, when being conducive to produce, the solubleness of Quilonum Retard is little, winter severe cold season, when being unfavorable for producing, the solubleness of Quilonum Retard is large, and the solar pond that industry is generally used has been brought very large difficulty to production.
Sulfate type contains lithium bittern, in the process of extracting Quilonum Retard, although lithium energy enrichment in bittern, according to many salinization factory production datas, general lithium ion can be enriched to more than the 8g/l, and high-lithium ion can reach 12g/l, but magnesium, lithium to separate be again that salt chemical engineering is produced a difficult problem in the lithium salts for many years.
Summary of the invention
The objective of the invention is for the difficult problem of above-mentioned two types of bittern in extracting the lithium process, a kind of production method of producing Quilonum Retard take carbonate type bittern and vitriolate type bittern as raw material with overlapping adding halogen method is provided.
Purpose of the present invention can reach by following measures:
A kind of production method of producing Quilonum Retard take carbonate type bittern and vitriolate type bittern as raw material with overlapping adding halogen method comprises the steps:
1) carbonate type bittern is mixed with vitriolate type bittern carry out converting the first time halogen, the consumption of regulating two kinds of bittern makes the CO that mixes in the bittern 3 2-Ion and Mg 2+The ion complete reaction generates magnesium basic carbonate, and the bittern evaporation after converting halogen and finishing is concentrated, and solid-liquid separation is removed the basic carbonate magnesium precipitate again, obtains lithium enrichment bittern;
2) lithium enrichment bittern and evaporation concentration is saturated or mix near saturated carbonate type bittern to lithium concentration, carry out converting the second time halogen, the consumption of regulating two kinds of bittern makes the Li that mixes in the bittern +Ion generates Quilonum Retard, and solid-liquid separation goes out the Quilonum Retard precipitation after converting halogen and finishing, and the Quilonum Retard precipitation that obtains with hot wash is also dry, obtains lithium carbonate product.
Method of the present invention further can also comprise the following step of converting for the third time halogen: convert the liquid that halogen is finished and solid-liquid separation goes out for the second time, merge with the washings after the washing Quilonum Retard precipitation, mix with vitriolate type bittern and convert for the third time halogen, the consumption of regulating two kinds of bittern makes the CO that mixes in the saltwater brine 3 2-Ion and Mg 2+The ion complete reaction generates magnesium basic carbonate;
Convert for the third time after the halogen bittern directly with convert halogen the first time and finish after bittern mix, carry out together again evaporation concentration, then solid-liquid separation is removed the basic carbonate magnesium precipitate, obtains lithium enrichment bittern to carry out the converting halogen second time;
Perhaps, convert for the third time the bittern elder generation evaporation concentration after the halogen, the bittern that obtains again with convert for the first time halogen and evaporation concentration after bittern mix, then carry out together solid-liquid separation and remove the basic carbonate magnesium precipitate, obtain lithium enrichment bittern to carry out the converting halogen second time;
Perhaps, convert for the third time the bittern elder generation evaporation concentration after the halogen, solid-liquid separation is removed the basic carbonate magnesium precipitate again, the liquid that obtains with convert for the first time the lithium enrichment bittern that halogen obtains and merge to carry out converting the second time halogen.
Method of the present invention is only by step 1) and step 2) lithium carbonate product of higher degree and yield can be obtained, but the discharge of farthest being extracted and reducing waste water for the lithium that makes in the bittern can be in step 1) and 2) process of converting for the third time halogen increased afterwards.
Carbonate type bittern of the present invention is for containing CO 3 2-Ion and Li +The salt lake brine of ion; Described vitriolate type bittern is for containing SO 4 2-Ion, Mg 2+Ion and Li +The salt lake brine of ion.Also might contain potassium, sodium, chlorine plasma in two kinds of bittern, concrete bittern composition is different because of different salt lakes.Vitriolate type bittern also can extend to the magnesium-containing brine of other type among the present invention.
Two kinds of bittern of the present invention can directly be converted halogen and use, also can be first that a kind of bittern prevapourising before converting halogen for the first time is concentrated, because the bittern in the most of salt lakes of salt lake brine is undersaturated, so first prevapourising is concentrated once, can reduce when converting halogen wherein a kind of operational throughput of bittern.It is concentrated to reduce water content two kinds of bittern all can certainly to be carried out prevapourising, alleviates the concentrated pressure of subsequent evaporation.Carbonate type bittern before use first prevapourising is concentrated to wherein CO 3 2-Ion reaches or is lower than saturation concentration; Vitriolate type bittern before use first prevapourising is concentrated to wherein Mg 2+Ion reaches or is lower than saturation concentration.
The purpose of converting for the first time halogen in the step 1 is in order to remove the magnesium ion in the bittern, because the magnesium basic carbonate that generates belongs to insoluble compound, can farthest remove magnesium ion and can not affect lithium ion in the bittern.Convert for the first time the consumption of two kinds of bittern in the halogen process, according to the amount of its concrete contained ion, determine to convert the halogen ratio with carbanion and the lucky complete reaction of magnesium ion in the mixing bittern.During reaction, if carbonate is excessive in the bittern, in the process of bittern evaporation enriching lithium, has Quilonum Retard and separate out, and cause the loss of lithium; If but carbonate is less, can cause in the bittern magnesium except unclean, when secondary is converted halogen, have magnesium basic carbonate and separate out, affect the quality of Quilonum Retard.
Convert in the step 1 that to carry out bittern evaporation after halogen is finished concentrated, owing to lack the ion that makes the lithium precipitation in the bittern, so lithium ion can reach largely enrichment.The content that can make lithium ion in the water after the evaporation concentration preferably makes lithium concentration reach 7.5~8.5g/l greater than 4g/l, and low moisture excessive in the bittern of can making crossed in the too high precipitation loss that easily causes lithium ion, increases subsequent production pressure.Therefore Li in the lithium enrichment bittern that obtains in the step 1 +The content of ion is preferably 7.5~8.5g/l.
For the first time converting the halogen process can carry out under 0~90 ℃, considers for saving cost and other factors (such as solubleness etc.), generally gets final product in that normal temperature (20~30 ℃) is lower.
The evaporation concentration that adopts in the step 2 is saturated or generally be 1.5~2.5g/l near the content of lithium ion in the saturated carbonate type bittern to lithium concentration, according to the difference of concrete envrionment temperature and slightly different.Convert for the second time halogen and can make the lithium ion form with Quilonum Retard in the situation of getting rid of the magnesium ion interference in lithium enrichment bittern and the saturated or near saturated bittern obtain as much as possible extracting, the lithium ion that mixes in the bittern is precipitated fully.
Convert in the halogen process for the second time, according to the ion content in two kinds of bittern, the consumption of regulating two kinds of bittern makes and mixes in the bittern and Li +Ionic reaction generates the CO of Quilonum Retard 3 2-The molar weight of ion excessive 0~30%.The add-on that is carbanion is 100~130% of theoretical amount, determines to convert the halogen ratio.If carbanion has lacked, Quilonum Retard is separated out insufficient, affects the single line rate of recovery of lithium, and carbonate is many can not reduce the eduction rate of lithium, but carbanion is too many, causes the idling of equipment, affects equipment capacity.
Convert for the second time the Quilonum Retard precipitation that adopts hot wash to obtain after the halogen, because the solubleness of Quilonum Retard in water reduces along with the rising of temperature, so hot water can reduce the damage part that washing precipitation causes.The temperature of hot water can be regulated from 30 ℃~100 ℃, in order to take full advantage of local sun power, can adopt solar water to wash, and its temperature is generally 75~85 ℃.
For the second time converting halogen can carry out under 0~90 ℃, generally gets final product under normal temperature (20~30 ℃).A kind of scheme is to carry out under to 85 ℃ at normal temperature (20~30 ℃), particularly can under 80 ℃ or condition near 80 ℃ (such as 75 ℃~85 ℃), carry out, because the solubleness of Quilonum Retard is minimum under this temperature, can improve the eduction rate of the Quilonum Retard of this step.
Convert for the third time halogen and can make washing or extract the lithium loss that causes when incomplete and return to the extraction that circulates in the leaching process, the extraction rate reached that makes the lithium ion in the bittern to or near 100%.When converting halogen for the third time, according to the ionic concn in two kinds of bittern, it is (the same when converting halogen with the first time to determine to convert the halogen ratio in the lucky complete reaction of chemical equation carbanion and magnesium ion, but be the rate of recovery problem that has thoroughly solved lithium, and there is not trade effluent to discharge non-environmental-pollution in the whole technical process).
Convert for the third time liquid after the halogen and return the system of converting for the first time after the halogen.According to the liquid individual curing whether of converting for the third time after the halogen, can be divided into directly with convert for the first time halogen after bittern mix, concentrate first three kinds of situations of remix behind remix and the first concentrating and separating solid.Convert for the third time the evaporation concentration of the bittern after the halogen, comprise directly and convert the mixed evaporation concentration of bittern after the halogen for the first time, can make the content of lithium ion in the water greater than 4g/l, preferably make lithium concentration reach 7.5~8.5g/l, its concrete requirement with convert for the first time halogen after concentrated require identical.
Converting for the third time the halogen process can carry out under 0~90 ℃, considers for saving cost and other factors (such as solubleness etc.), generally gets final product in that normal temperature (20~30 ℃) is lower.
The invention provides a kind of salt lake carbonate type bittern and vitriolate type bittern or chloride type of utilizing and contain magnesium ion bittern, carry out in proportion converting the first time halogen according to the bittern composition, the nature constant-temperature evaporation is concentrated, for the second time convert halogen again and separate out Quilonum Retard, and separate out liquid behind the Quilonum Retard, also to return and again convert halogen in the front flow process, thereby form the overlapping production method that halogen is produced Quilonum Retard of converting.
The present invention is directed to two difficult problems of two types of bittern in extracting the lithium process, proposition is in zone with good conditionsi, the two or several places that two types of bittern are arranged are namely arranged, carrying out water body according to practical situation shifts, because the ratio that the bittern of Tibetan Salt Lakes forms or forms all is difficult to identical, even same salt lake is with the variation in season, it is also larger that it forms variation, even have the bittern type in minority salt lake to change, so when carrying out the water body transfer, need consider the amount that water body shifts, the direction that shifts, sea level elevation (preferably gravity flow) is subjected to water body to shift the storage capability in salt lake, the factors such as area of building the salt pan.Shift by dissimilar water bodys, the bittern that can realize two salt lakes or several salt lakes is prepared and is mixed, and disadvantageous factor is become favorable factor, namely utilizes the CO in the carbonate type bittern 3 2-Ion remaval falls the magnesium ion in the vitriolate type bittern, magnesium, lithium are separated, otherwise be to utilize magnesium ion in the vitriolate type bittern to get rid of carbanion in the carbonate type bittern, be conducive to the enrichment of lithium, thereby the lithium that reaches in two bittern can extract again in enrichment.
Detailed principle of the present invention is as follows:
Utilize CO in the carbonate type salt lake bittern 3 2-Mg in ion and the sulfate type salt lake bittern 2+Ar ion mixing, reaction generates the basic carbonate magnesium precipitate, removes the CO in the bittern 3 2-Ion and Mg 2+Ion, reaction equation is:
4Mg 2++4CO 3 2-+5H 2O→3MgCO 3·Mg(OH) 2·4H 2O↓+CO 2
Convert halogen for the first time and convert for the third time halogen according to above-mentioned principle.
CO in the recycling ortho-carbonate type lake salt bittern 3 2-Ion and convert halogen the first/three time after (remove Mg 2+Ion and CO 3 2-Ion) Li in the lithium enrichment bittern +Ion, reaction generate the Quilonum Retard precipitation, and reaction equation is:
2Li ++CO 3 2-+H 2O→Li 2CO 3+H 2O
Overlapping definite principle of converting the halogen ratio of the present invention is:
For the first time convert halogen: be with the carbanion in the carbonate type bittern and the lucky complete reaction of the magnesium ion in the vitriolate type bittern, quality determines to convert the halogen ratio than magnesium ion: carbonate=1: 2.469-2.470 (can adopt more accurate ratio according to the different of relative molecular weight that carbonate and magnesium ion adopt).
Convert for the second time halogen, with the carbonate content in the carbonate type bittern after evaporation concentration (lithium ion approaches or reaches capacity), with convert for the first time bittern after the halogen through evaporation concentration, its lithium ion is enriched to certain content, the carbanion amount is 100~130% of theoretical amount during according to the carbonate in two kinds of bittern and lithium ion complete reaction, theoretical amount ratio is that quality determines to convert the halogen ratio than carbanion: lithium ion=4.322-5.620.
Converting for the third time halogen, is with the Mg in the vitriolate type bittern 2+Convert ion content and the second time CO in the liquid after halogen is separated out Quilonum Retard 3 2-Content, the lucky complete reaction of magnesium ion and carbanion, quality are than magnesium ion: carbonate=1: 2.469-2.470, determine to convert the halogen ratio.
Convert in the halogen process HCO in the bittern whole 3 -Ion is inoperative, can be used as foreign ion and does not consider, and facts have proved NaHCO 3(sodium bicarbonate) saturated solution and LICl saturated solution do not react under normal temperature and 80 ℃ the condition of heating, and generate without Quilonum Retard.
Bittern only loses without lithium ion except magnesium ion when carrying out mixing the first time, and its reason is that the magnesium basic carbonate that generates is insoluble compound, and the solubility product of magnesiumcarbonate is K SP=3.5 * 10 -8, the solubility product of magnesium hydroxide is K SP=2.0 * 10 -24, and the solubleness of Quilonum Retard is: 1.54g (0 ℃), 1.33g (20 ℃), 0.72g (100 ℃).
The solubleness of Quilonum Retard is less, the solubleness of Quilonum Retard is: 1.54g (0 ℃), (1.33g 20 ℃), (0.72g 100 ℃), so contain the carbonate type bittern of lithium, when bittern evaporation, summer, lithium ion content can reach 1.5g/l in the bittern, otherwise will separate out with the form of Quilonum Retard, and winter, lithium ion content then can reach 2.5g/l, so secondary is converted in the halogen process, evaporation concentration to lithium ion in the saturated or near saturated carbonate type bittern content of lithium ion be 1.5~2.5g/l.
In vitriolate type bittern, when magnesium ion content is higher in the bittern, just there is not carbanion; And when magnesium ion reaches certain content, have Lithium Sulphate in the bittern to separate out, if still remove the magnesium ion in this bittern, this not only without in carbanion but also the bittern without magnesium ion, so the further enrichment of the content of lithium ion is Li in the lithium enrichment bittern +The content of ion is 7.5~8.5g/l.
Magnesium basic carbonate among the present invention refers to 3MgCO 3Mg (OH) 24H 2O or MgCO 3Mg (OH) 2
Evaporation concentration among the present invention comprises with the mode evaporation concentration of nature (such as sunshine), also comprises the evaporation concentration with Heat artificially, artificial lighting or other manual types.
Solid-liquid separation among the present invention comprises and adopts special equipment general solid or liquid separation wherein, is also included within and directly carries out precipitate and separate in salt pan or elsewhere or the facility, also comprises and adopts various filtration steps or facility to separate.
Beneficial effect of the present invention:
The present invention does not need external raw material substantially except electricity consumption, less investment, and technique is simple, can be used for extensive Quilonum Retard production, obtains the rate height, and quality product reaches national standard, is particularly suitable for the exploitation of the lithium resource of Tibetan Salt Lakes (two types of salt lakes mix layout).
The present invention is applicable to carbonate type (containing lithium) salt lake brine and any type (contains magnesium, lithium) salt lake brine converts halogen production, thereby carbonate type and sulfate type salt lake (containing lithium) bittern two difficult problems that the lithium enrichment separates with the magnesium lithium in the lithium salts leaching process have been solved, it has adaptability to raw material strong, obtain the rate height, cost is low, because production process is by solar thermal energy spontaneous evaporation bittern, but also do not need external raw material and other chemical agent, for the second time convert halogen exactly and separate out Quilonum Retard, in factory, carry out under the normal temperature, the hot water with 80 ℃ is washed in the lithium salts back washing, because consumption is little, just can satisfy with solar water, so essentially no pollution of plant produced, without the three wastes, whole production technique is simple, and how data changed during no matter how bittern formed, only need to calculate two chemical equations (reaction of the reaction of carbonate and magnesium ion and carbonate and lithium ion), general personnel can both grasp, and are easy to control, easy to operate.Industrial scale is not limit, and the investment of founding the factory is little, mainly is to build a workshop, and Quilonum Retard after the halogen sedimentation washs converting, dry, packing, storage.
