Fig. 1 shows lithium-containing materials treatment process 10 according to an embodiment of the invention, and described lithium-containing materials provides with the form of α-triphane concentrate in this embodiment.
The whole flow elements existed in this technique 10 all perform under the condition with whole process Instrumentation and Control.
α-triphane concentrate 12 enters calcining step, in this step described concentrate 12 in incinerator 14 about 1050 DEG C to 1100 DEG C between temperature under be converted into by calcination so that by α-triphane can for the β-triphane leached.Waste gas from incinerator is conducted through swirler (not shown) and electrostatic precipitator (not shown) meets known environmental emission standard to make it.The hot calcine obtained enters water cooler 16 and is directly cooled to about 80 DEG C.Then, in shredder, such as dry grinded in closed-circuit ball mill 18 (dry-milled), to being less than 300 μm, the granularity such as reaching about 75 μm is P80.
After being stored in surge bunker (not shown), polished β-triphane mixes mutually with the 20% hydrochloric acid w/w 20 with at least 40-300% stoichiometric excess amount (stoichiometric excess) in pulping stage.Described pulping stage such as, for leaching step, leach circuit 22 feed, and described leach circuit comprises the first leaching level 24 and second and leaches level 26.
Described leaching step performs the duration of about 6 to 12 hours in consecutive batch extractor at about 108 DEG C, and such as about 8 hours, this temperature was the boiling point of the hydrochloric acid leachate added in pulping stage.In described leach circuit 22, have employed the pulp density of about 40% thus maximize leaching concentration and the solid solubility ensureing not exceed Quilonum Retard in leaching process.Waste gas can be purified in wet scrubber (not shown).Described leaching step 22 generates slag slurry and process liquor, such as leach liquor.Lithium in β-triphane and silico-aluminate are leached in the solution with other impurity, thus the sub-saturated forming Quilonum Retard in leach liquor concentrates.
Make the leach liquor from leach circuit 22 enter thickening loop 28, described thickening loop preferably includes two-stage 28a and 28b, connects with the two-stage 24 and 26 of leach circuit 22.Overflow from thickening loop 28 is directed to pyrohydrolysis step 30, and this step performs at about 300 DEG C, and the muriate of Al and Fe existed in leach liquor described in this step is converted into their respective insolubility oxide compounds 32.All residual HCl are also being separated in HCl step 34 again.
Except Al with Fe being separated again in the employing pyrohydrolysis step 30 described in the preceding paragraph, major part in residual soluble iron, aluminium and magnesium will be removed from leach liquor by a series of removal of impurity step, and these steps are collectively referred to as removal of impurity step 36 in FIG.Described removal of impurity step 36 and then comprise pH set-up procedure 38, pH value is increased to 9 by adding LiOH 40 by this step.The product of step 38 enters belt filter 42, by this strainer, the precipitation containing Al, Fe, Mn and Mg is separated again.Described removal of impurity step 36 and then also comprise calcium deposit step 44, adds sodium carbonate (i.e. soda powder) or Quilonum Retard 46 in this step to generate containing calcium deposit 48 in another belt filter 50.
The thicker underflow product 52 that second stage thickening step 28b produces enters drying step 54, becomes waste material 56 afterwards and then by disposal 58.
The liquid product of belt filter 50, it is LiCl solution mainly, enters enrichment step 60 and and then enter fractional crystallization step 62.In described enrichment step 60, this LiCl solution is concentrated into close to saturation point, such as 35-40% LiCl w/w, and is cooled to subzero.At follow-up fractional crystallization step 62, major part is removed by substep respectively containing the impurity 64 of Na and K, such as NaCl and KCl crystal.
As described above, eliminating substantially after all dirt, lithium chloride solution enters ion-exchange step 66, and this step comprises all to be removed residual calcium, magnesium and other polyvalent cation to the level lower than about 10ppm substantially by ion-exchange (IX) post 68, such as 1ppm.
Lithium chloride solution through being further purified then is heated to 90 DEG C and pumps to electrolysis step 70, and this step adopts several electrolyzers, such as 6 to 20 electrolyzers, produces lithium hydroxide, chlorine and hydrogen in a cell by consumption lithium chloride and water.
After passing through above-mentioned electrolyzer, thin or after being consumed lithium chloride solution contains the chlorine of dissolving.Before being circulated at this thin lithium chloride solution the pulping stage being positioned at the previous link of described leach circuit 22, a point two-stage is removed by the chlorine dissolved by this.In a first stage, hydrochloric acid is added described lithium chloride solution thus pH value is reduced to <5, this numerical value can force part chlorine to discharge solution.Then, remaining is removed by carrying out stripping (not shown) to solution by the chlorine dissolved.
The hydrochloric acid HCl that can use in pulping stage and leach circuit 22 is mixed to produce as the chlorine of by product and hydrogen.
First the lithium hydroxide solution obtained by electrolysis step 70 enters insulation can 72, as clearly illustrated in FIG, in insulation can, lithium hydroxide can by (1) evaporation and crystallization to generate Lithium Hydroxide Monohydrate crystal, or (2) are sent to carburising step thus are converted into Quilonum Retard.
