Description
Technical field
The invention belongs to field of inorganic chemical engineering, relate to a kind of technology of extracting lithium from salt lake brine, refer more particularly to a kind of from high Mg/Li ratio bittern separating magnesium and extract the method for lithium.
Background technology
Recent two decades comes, lithium and compound thereof obtain increasingly extensive application because of its excellent properties, the whole world constantly increases the demand of lithium, and saline lake lithium resource accounts for 69% of world's lithium resource industrial reserves, and wherein first low Mg/Li ratio bittern Chile's Atacama type salt lake is developed.China Shi Yige salt lake resources big country, liquid lithium resource is very abundant, yet the most of salt lake of China has the high feature of magnesium lithium mass ratio, if the magnesium lithium mass ratio in the salt lakes such as large bavin dawn, Yi Liping, East Taijinaier, West Taijinar and Cha Er sweat is all more than 40~1800, the similarity of magnesium lithium character is brought difficulty to the exploitation of salt lake resources.Will from bittern, extract the necessary first separating magnesium of lithium, in bittern, the method for separating Li magnesium mainly contains at present: the precipitator method, calcination method, absorption method and extraction process etc.Wherein precipitator method alkali consumption is large, the lithium rate of recovery is low, is not suitable for processing bittern and the low lithium bittern containing a large amount of alkaline-earth metal.Calcination method is dry through spraying, roasting and leaching process, and water yield evaporation is large, energy consumption is high, equipment corrosion is serious, byproduct outlet is narrow.The key of absorption method is sorbent material, and lithium ion sieve type manganese oxygen, titanyl material come into one's own, but its actual adsorptive capacity is on the low side, poor permeability, has molten damage, granulation problem.By contrast, the advantage such as solvent extration has can operate continuously, concentration ratio is high, equipment is simple, turnout is large, key is the selection of extraction agent and determining of abstraction technique.Wherein tributyl phosphate (TBP) and FeCl
3extract altogether system once by primary study, described in document CN87103431A, its technique bottleneck is that bittern extraction will carry out under acidic conditions, Li
+back extraction require with 6~9mol/L hydrochloric acid soln, in extraction, have emulsion and third phase to occur, therefore so far there are no, and industrialization is reported.The people such as Zhou adopt ZnCl
2, CrCl
3extract altogether agent and under 3 kinds of thinners, the Extraction behavior of TBP studied, but do not obtain improvement effect (Zhou Z.-Y., Qin W., Fei W.-Y..J.Chem.Eng.Data, 2011,56,3518-3522).And when using TBP in document CN101698488A and CN102275956A, adopt acid amides, alcohol or ketone to help extraction agent, still adopt FeCl
3extract altogether back extraction under agent and acidic conditions and carry lithium, need make molysite reside in organic phase always, technological improvement degree has its limitation.
Summary of the invention
The object of the invention is for the deficiency existing in art methods, a kind of method of cost-effective separating magnesium and extraction lithium is provided.

w/ V
obe 0.02: 1~2: 1,1~5 grade of back extraction progression, single back extraction time 1~30min, 0~100 ℃ of back extraction temperature.
4) organic phase circulation: last step back extraction organic phase is transferred to the 1st grade of extraction plant, and extraction phase recycles.
5) degree of depth demagging: add sodium carbonate or caustic soda in strip aqueous, be settled out magnesiumcarbonate or magnesium hydroxide, control pH value of solution>=12, make Mg
2+precipitation is complete, filtering separation.
6) prepare Quilonum Retard: in the strip aqueous after degree of depth demagging, add sodium carbonate, produce Quilonum Retard precipitation, after filtering, being dried, make lithium carbonate product; After carrying lithium, strip aqueous is carried out internal recycling, extracts altogether the rear Reusability of agent recycling in water.
7) it is a kind of or its mixture in sodium perchlorate, potassium perchlorate, magnesium perchlorate and calcium perchlorate that the perchlorate that the present invention adopts extracts agent altogether; The organic phase thinner adopting is No. 200 solvent oils or kerosene, and its volumn concentration is less than 50%.
The present invention compared with prior art has the following advantages:
1) in solvent extraction process, use perchlorate to extract altogether agent, lipophilicity negatively charged ion perchlorate stable in properties, existence form is not subject to the impact of brine ph; Lithium ion enters organic phase by the microemulsion phase that comprises nanometer water core, presents special selectivity and high percentage extraction, and Separation of Li and Mg is respond well.
2) bittern extraction is carried out under neutrality, slightly acidic or weak basic condition, and pH subject range is wide; Two-phase is easily separated, without emulsion and third phase, occurs; Water replaces hydrochloric acid to make reverse-extraction agent, has fundamentally solved FeCl
3altogether in extraction process equipment corrosion and need in consumption alkali and etc. problem.
3) the method can be processed high Mg/Li ratio bittern such as boracic, containing sulfate radicals, and strong adaptability, Financial cost are low, can strictly control the discharge of magnesium-containing brine in production process, little to environmental disruption degree.
