Lithium tetraborate has another name called lithium tetraborate, and molecular formula is Li
2b
4o
7, molecular weight is 169.12.High-purity, high-density lithium tetraborate is a kind of New temperature offset-type surface-duided wave substrate chip and piezoelectric monocrystal substrate material, in many fields such as microelectronics, digital technology, photoelectron science and technology, novel computer, video transmission, military science and technology, aerospace, satellite communication, defense technologies, has extensive and important application.As far back as 20 beginnings of the century, people have just made lithium tetraborate, but at that time because application Chemical Engineering Technology is weaker, lithium tetraborate is not widely used in all trades and professions, until just progressively start to be applied to the glaze of porcelain enamel industry the eighties in last century, lubricating grease component, later stage is along with the popularization of materials chemistry, lithium tetraborate is progressively applied to buffer reagent and sanitas, and be also applied to the exploitation of novel material, until 21 century, innovation along with smelting iron and steel technology, lithium tetraborate is used to wavelength dispersion X RF fluorescence spectrophotometer, the sample preparations such as AA atomic absorption and ICP are to detect iron and steel component, this is the arrival in intimation lithium tetraborate the new year, but along with constantly striding forward of technology paces, (density is about 0.7g/ ㎝ to high-purity lithium tetraborate of produced in conventional processes
3) can not meet the use that detects industry, the lithium tetraborate of various high-purity high-density degree is more and more welcome.
At present with regard to the production technique of lithium tetraborate, developed country produces this series products and mainly adopts Technologies such as " reduction, electrolysis, zone melting, vacuum distilling, vacuum-sublimations ", though there is certain using value, but that technology very complicated, technical process length, apparatus expensive, processing condition require is very harsh, production cost is high, contaminate environment and be difficult to administer, and is not suitable for the technical qualification of Current Domestic.
Summary of the invention
For the deficiencies in the prior art, the object of the present invention is to provide a kind of work simplification, processing condition require low, with low cost, easy to operate, quality index can be reached advanced world standards and the little preparation method who is easy to the high-purity high-density degree lithium tetraborate of improvement of environmental pollution.
To achieve these goals, technical conceive of the present invention is as follows:
By lithium hydroxide in industrial grade through dissolution in low temperature, filter, evaporation concentration, crystallisation by cooling, the steps such as centrifugation are purified, lithium hydroxide after purification is dissolved in the pure water boiling by solid-liquid mass ratio 1:2, according to the content of lithium hydroxide in solution, by 105%~120% of the ratio (hereinafter to be referred as " stoichiometric ratio ") of the stoichiometric number of reaction, add technical grade boric acid neutralization reaction (add excessive 5~20% boric acid), then through evaporation concentration, first drying, broken, secondary drying, high-temperature fusion, the flow processs such as shrend is cooling make the lithium tetraborate of high-purity high-density degree, its principal reaction principle is:

Concrete, the preparation method of a kind of high-purity high-density degree lithium tetraborate of the present invention, step is as follows:
A, lithium hydroxide purifying: primary industry stage monohydrate lithium hydroxide is dissolved in pure water with solid-liquid mass ratio 1:5 ratio; Add impurity removal reagents and remove by filter insolubles; Filtrate evaporation concentration is to visible obviously crystal; After being cooled to room temperature, centrifugation obtains recrystallization monohydrate lithium hydroxide;
Described impurity removal reagents by ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid (EDTA) and bicarbonate of ammonia in mass ratio 1:0.54 mix;
The amount of substance of the ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid (EDTA) in described impurity removal reagents is the twice of foreign metal Ca, Mg, Fe, the total amount of substance of Pb in described primary industry stage monohydrate lithium hydroxide;
B, neutralization batching: recrystallization monohydrate lithium hydroxide is dissolved with the pure water boiling with solid-liquid mass ratio 1:2, then according to 105%~120% of stoichiometric ratio, add boric acid neutralization, obtain neutralizer;
C, neutralizer is bleached with stainless steel cask evaporation concentration to solution;
D, first drying: by being evaporated to the lithium tetraborate solution bleaching, pour into while hot in stainless steel drip pan, first at 100-150 ℃, dry 3-4h, then dry 8-10h at 200-240 ℃;
E, secondary drying: the material after first drying is crushed to granularity between 10-60 orders, at 400-450 ℃, under 4-5h condition, carries out secondary drying;
F, the lithium tetraborate powder after secondary drying is carried out to melting, melt temperature 930-950 ℃, time 4--5h in electrothermal oven;
Material after G, melting carries out shrend crystallisation by cooling among pouring the pure water circulating into, and centrifugation obtains high-density Lithium Tetraborate Single Crystals;
H, step G gained crystal is dried to 1-2h at 60-80 ℃, remove plane of crystal moisture.
Described boric acid is Russian BOR MCC import boric acid (boric acid/% >=99.9; Water insoluble matter content/%≤0.010; Vitriol/%≤0.10; Muriate/%≤0.050; Iron/%≤0.0020; Ammonia/%≤0.30; Heavy metal/%≤0.0010).
Compared with prior art, advantage of the present invention and beneficial effect are:
1, adopt and first to prepare technical process that lithium tetraborate powder goes out Lithium Tetraborate Single Crystals by powder high-temperature fusion again to have solved lithium tetraborate chemical structure unstable than directly synthesizing Lithium Tetraborate Single Crystals technique with lithium hydroxide and boric acid high temperature, be mingled with other borates or Quilonum Retard, product purity is not high enough, the problem that process control condition is inaccurate;
2, directly the lithium tetraborate strong solution after concentrated is carried out to liquid oven dry, improved the yield of lithium tetraborate;
3, technique of the present invention other operations except high-temperature fusion operation are all carried out at normal pressure, middle low temperature, employing common stainless steel chemical industry equipment, and technique is greatly simplified, easy to operate succinct, environmentally safe, and production cost is well below external existing technique;
4, the lithium tetraborate density that adopts traditional technology to produce only has 0.7g/ ㎝
3left and right, and the made Lithium Tetraborate Single Crystals density of this technique is at 1.4g/ ㎝
3left and right, density is close to double, is more adapted to the market requirement now.
