The Main Resources of lithium includes lithium Ore and the salt Han lithium.In the present invention, term " salt " may refer to natural bittern (such as: salt lake bittern, subsurface brine, geothermal brine or salt manufacturing salt) or the salt of human configuration.Especially, in many feelings Under condition, compared with other type of salt, salt lake bittern has high lithium concentration, the raw material being suitable as in the present invention.At this In invention, can be effective from the magnesium containing high concentration and sulphuric acid (they are to be prepared interference component during lithium carbonate by commonsense method) Lithium carbonate is prepared on ground, and Mg/Li ratio and SO4/ Li ratio more than 10, the salt containing lithium that is difficult to reclaim from which lithium permissible As the raw material in the present invention.For salt type resource, salt lake bittern is most important source.In orogenic belt (such as Andean Mountain range) in, the water soluble ingredient (they are from the marine rock dissolution of surrounding) comprising sodium chloride flows into by soon with flowing water In the lake, mountain top that speed is swelled and formed, and concentrate through long-term, thus separate out salt and pile up formation salt lake.At saturated bittern Internal salt lake is piled up, and this saturated bittern is referred to as salt lake bittern.Salt lake bittern comprises the sodium chloride being derived from sea water as main one-tenth Point, and also comprise cation constituent (such as, potassium, lithium, magnesium and calcium) and anion component (such as chlorine, bromine, sulphuric acid and boric acid). In addition to the impact of seawater component, its composition changes according to the mineral species around salt lake and colcanism.At salt lake halogen In water, the salt lake bittern that lithium concentration is high becomes the development goal of lithium resource.The method reclaiming lithium in salt mainly included by day Shine the concentration step of evaporation, by adding the foreign matter removal step of chemicals and by adding the carbonation step of sodium carbonate. Mainly comprise muriatic salt, for lithium chloride, there is high-dissolvability, and lithium concentration can increase to the highly concentrated of about 60g/L Degree.But, in the case of salt comprises a large amount of sulfate ion, lithium sulfate can be separated out during evaporation and concentration (Li2SO4·H2O).Therefore, lithium concentration is only capable of increasing to about 6g/L, and lithium is lost with the form of lithium sulfate.It addition, work as When salt lake bittern comprises above-mentioned various ion component, magnesium is with the form precipitation of magnesium carbonate and possible by carbonation step Be blended in as in the lithium carbonate of final products, so that the purity of final products reduces, it is therefore desirable to carbonation step it Before go demagging.Specifically, the content of magnesium of the salt in Uyuni salt lake (Bolivia), Qinghai Salt Lake (Chinese) etc. is high, and And the concentration ratio of Mg/Li is 19 to 62.Therefore, not only need a large amount of chemicals (such as calcium hydroxide and sodium carbonate) to go demagging, But also substantial amounts of magnesium hydroxide and magnesium carbonate mud can be formed, and the salt concentrated is wrapped in mud, and this would interfere with The recovery of the concentrated brine containing lithium.It addition, the sulfate ion concentration of salt lake bittern is the highest, such as, at Uyuni salt In lake (Bolivia), SO4The concentration ratio of/Li is 24, in Qinghai Salt Lake (Chinese), and SO4The concentration of/Li than for 138(Ah In Taka horse salt lake (Chilean), SO4The concentration ratio of/Li is 11), in these salt lakes, present case is, walks in evaporation and concentration In rapid, lithium concentration is only capable of being increased to 6g/L, it is thus impossible to obtain the concentrated brine being suitable for carbonation step, wherein said carbonic acid Change step is commonly used to concentration and is about the area with high mercury of more than 60g/L.The most such as magnesium ion, sulfate ion, barium from The level of the foreign ions such as son is reduced as much as possible, such as, be reduced to ppm level, as less than 20 ppm, is preferably shorter than 0.0005wt%, or lower such as 0.00001wt%, can be adapted for recovery process to reclaim the purest lithium salts containing lithium salt, Such as lithium chloride and/or lithium carbonate, or lithium metal.
In the present invention in manageable salt, Mg2+And Li+Weight ratio be preferably 1:1~400:1, more preferably 2:1 ~200:1, most preferably 2:1~150:1.Li+Mass percent concentration be preferably 0.1~15.0g/L, more preferably 0.3 ~10.0g/L, most preferably 0.5~8.0g/L.
Lithium in salt is adsorbed by the present invention initially with lithium adsorbent, the most again by lithium by the way of desorbing Eluting and obtain stripping liquid.Heretofore described lithium adsorbent has selective absorption to lithium ion known to can using Solid absorbent, the most this kind of adsorbent is all in granular form, has bigger specific surface area, and its material has generally comprised organic Adsorbent and inorganic adsorbent.For the adsorbent of organic system, generally refer to macroion exchanger resin, substantially strong acid Property adsorbent resin, such as IR-120B type cation exchange resin.For inorganic adsorbent, existing aluminium salt can be used to adsorb Agent is (if formula is LiX 2Al (OH)3·nH2O, wherein X represents anion, it is common that Cl, n represent the number of water of crystallization), nothing Sizing hydroxide adsorbent (mainly aluminum oxide adsorbent), layered adsorbent (generally arsenate or phosphoric acid salt Lithium adsorbent, it is also possible to be metatitanic acid salt lithium adsorbent), compound metaantimmonic acid type adsorbent and ion-sieve type adsorbent etc..For from Sub-sieve-type oxide adsorbent, can enumerate, and includes monoclinic crystal stibate system (such as Li1-xHxSbO3, 0 < x < 1), titanate System is (such as Li2TiO3), (such as spinel-type Mn oxide, it is by such as MnO for Mn oxide system etc.2、MnCO3Or the manganese such as MnOOH Compound and such as LiOH, Li2CO3Lithium compound or magnesium compound Mg (OH)2After reaction generates presoma, then through pickling Prepare), it is also possible to it is to prepare doping type Mn oxide lithium ion doped with other metallic element, especially transition metal Sieve, such as LiMg0.5Mn1.5O4、LiZn0.5Mn1.5O4、LiTi0.5Mn1.5O4、LiFe0.5Mn1.5O4、Li1.33-x/3CoxMn1.67-2x/ 3O4、LiFeMnO4、LiAlMnO4、LiCu0.5Mn1.5O4Deng.Can also be compound-type adsorbent, such as, hand at weakly-basic anion Change and the space of resin is attached with substantial amounts of LiX 2Al (OH)3·nH2The compound-type adsorbent of O, wherein X is halogen.At this Some bright embodiments have employed aluminium containing salt type adsorbent, other embodiment use iron phosphate ion sieve, It is FeSO4、MexFeyPO4In the mixture of one or more.Me is the one in Mg, Al, Ti, Ni, Co, Mn, Mo, Nb Or several mixing.0 < x < 1,0 < y < 1.Its preparation method can refer to patent documentation CN102049237.
For above-mentioned adsorption operations, can use and adsorbent is filled in adsorption column, make salt flow through absorption Adsorbent bed in post, thus complete lithium ion absorption on the sorbent, the most again by adding eluent so that lithium Ion is eluted, and after obtaining stripping liquid, after further preferably being filtered by filter, then will transmit through liquid and is sent to follow-up Demagging process in step, filter can use coarse filter, and effect is to remove absorbent particles therein and silt, such as Use the filter elements such as the sand filtration of routine, filter cloth.
Owing to when carrying out Adsorption and desorption operation, still suffering from some magnesium ions and other diatomic base metal ion deposited It is in stripping liquid, when the stripping liquid afforded is carried out demagging ion, the magnesium in stripping liquid/lithium ratio can be reduced, here Remove magnesium ion operation can use the methods such as the sedimentation method, nanofiltration or ion exchange resin demagging, but in the present invention A preferred implementation in, use nanofiltration or the method for ion exchange resin demagging.
During when employing, in the adsorption column be filled with adsorbent, infeed eluent carries out eluting to lithium adsorbent, with The carrying out of elution process, the Mg in stripping liquid2+Content can decline, and finds through overtesting, reduces the Mg in stripping liquid2+ Content, advantageously reduces the technical load of nanofiltration, improves nanofiltration cycles of concentration, the Mg of reduction nanofiltration permeate2+Content, but from For Ling Yifangmian, find Mg2+In the presence of ion, NF membrane has Li in negative interception effect, i.e. nanofiltration permeate to lithium ion+ The phenomenon that concentration increases, therefore Mg2+Content can not be too low, otherwise in nanofiltration process, lithium ion during nanofiltration Negative retain phenomenon and weaken, it may appear that the situation that a part of lithium ion is trapped occurs, and has influence on product yield.When in stripping liquid Mg2+Desorbing is stopped when content is 2~3g/L.Under this optimum condition, Li in NF membrane permeate+Concentration compares material liquid can Improve 10~20%.But, this mode of operation has yet suffered from operating time length, inefficient problem.
Lithium adsorbent is carried out to the process of adsorption operations, in an improvement embodiment of the present invention, be by inciting somebody to action Lithium adsorbent is mixed in salt, makes it be scattered in salt after stirring, and this mode of operation can have higher work efficiency, Reaching to adsorb the saturated time is shorter than the mode using adsorbent to fill.The operation being mixed in salt by adsorbent, can adopt With being placed on agitator tank, then adding adsorbent continuous stirring in agitator tank, lithium ion is adsorbed onto on adsorbent, is inhaled Attached dose and salt mixed liquor;Stirring 30~60min, brine temperature is 30~60 DEG C.The addition in salt of lithium adsorbent Preferably 0.05~5g/L, more excellent 0.2g/L.
After above-mentioned adsorption process completes, then the mixed liquor of lithium adsorbent and salt is carried out solid-liquid separation process, with Make adsorbent be separated, so preferably it can be carried out desorption operations, solid-liquid separation described here, limit the most especially Fixed.The method processed as concrete solid-liquid separation, can enumerate centrifugation mode, expression separation mode, filter type, floating Separate mode, settlement separate mode.Wherein in a kind of preferred implementation, it is to need to send into separate in film by mixed liquor to carry out Concentrate, other ions such as Mg in salt lake2+、Ca2+Discharge Deng as permeate.Separation film described here preferably employs micro- Filter membrane, after obtaining concentrated solution, then makes concentrated solution be dehydrated further, such as by the method for conventional dehydration: evaporation, from The hearts etc., more excellent is that the mode using plate-and-frame filtration is dehydrated, and obtains adsorbent filter cake.Micro-filtration membrane for this step is average Aperture is the film of 0.01 μm~5mm.As the material of these micro-filtration membrane, send out as long as being capable of that adsorbent is concentrated such Improving eyesight, be not particularly limited, can enumerate: cellulose, cellulose esters, polysulfones, polyether sulfone, polrvinyl chloride, chloropropene, The organic materials such as polyolefin, polyvinyl alcohol, polymethyl methacrylate, polyvinylidene fluoride, politef, or rustless steel Deng the inorganic material such as metal or pottery.The material of micro-filtration membrane can consider that the character of mixed liquor or operating cost are come suitably Select, from inorganic material such as handling easiness consideration, preferably ceramics.Ceramic membrane filter temperature is 30~80 DEG C, operates pressure 0.2 ~0.5MPa, crossflow velocity 1~4m/s.In another embodiment, by the average pore size of micro-filtration membrane being controlled 50~ Time between 200nm, the yield of the lithium finally given can be improved further.
Improving in embodiment at one, preferably ceramic membrane filter is carried out recoil process, recoiling device is adopted automatically Recoiling ceramic membrane filter equipment with ceramic membrane infiltration clear liquid, the adsorbent filter cake recoil that will be attached to membrane channels surface is de- Fall, effectively alleviate fouling membrane, improve membrane flux, contribute to system and run steadily in the long term.Recoil interval is too short, extends filtration Time, add cost;Recoil interval is long, and the filter cake on film surface is blocked up, and ceramic membrane can be in a long time under small throughput Run, also extend filtration time.The recoil time is too short, it is impossible to being recoiled completely by the adsorbent on film surface comes off, filtration flux Can not there is efficient recovery;Recoil overlong time, recoil needs more amount of seepage, also needs to continue ceramic membrane and processes, increases and filter Negative volume, so selecting recoil interval 30~60min, the recoil time is 10~30s.
After separation membrance concentration liquid being dehydrated further and obtain adsorbent filter cake, in order to improve further Product purity, it is also desirable to wash it, in order to remove the foreign ion carried secretly in filter cake, solves with stripping liquid the most again Inhale operation.The preferred water of detergent or the aqueous solution of LiCl, wherein electrical conductivity of water is preferably 2~10 μ s/cm, the aqueous solution of LiCl The concentration of LiCl be preferably 0.02~5g/L;Lithium ion stripping liquid is water (preferably deionized water) or phosphoric acid solution, phosphoric acid The pH of solution is preferably controlled in 1~2, desorption temperature preferably 50~100 DEG C.
