For making the purpose of the present invention, technical scheme and advantage clearer, below in conjunction with specific embodiment, The present invention is described in detail.Should be appreciated that specific embodiment described herein is only in order to explain this Invention, is not intended to limit the present invention.
The present invention is directed to Qinghai-Tibet Platean social economy and naturalness feature, propose to utilize natural energy, salt group Become to realize the method that carbonate type salt lake produces multi mineral, for the feasibility of the method being described, to tie then tea That blocks is utilized as example, it will be understood that this invention is applicable not only to the exploitation of Lake Jiezechaka, is also applied for tool There is the exploitation of salt lake resources under the conditions of similar environments.
The side preparing high-purity magnesium carbonate from the carbonate type bittern of plateau of the present invention is described the most step by step Method.
The first step, carbonate-type original salt A in the fall before, be evaporated concentrating, and according to environment bar The change of part, constantly imports fresh water or dilute salt to regulate lithium concentration in evaporation and concentration salt so that Lithium ion does not separates out with mineral forms, when in salt, lithium concentration reaches 1.2g/L~1.8g/L, by salt Import the degree of depth deep lake salt Tanaka more than or equal to 2m and continue evaporation and concentration.
Original salt A is evaporated, after enrichment method to lithium concentration 1.2g/L~1.8g/L, deep importing Before lake salt field, this salt first passes through a salt pond being stacked with dehydration Natrii Sulfas, simultaneously sulphuric acid in detection salt The concentration range (avoiding excessive concentration or too low) of radical ion.Control to enter sulfate ion in the salt of deep pond Concentration 20g/L~30g/L.Dehydration Natrii Sulfas adds in this step so that salt is in the process flowing through dehydration Natrii Sulfas In, dehydration Natrii Sulfas absorbs the moisture content in salt, is gradually transformed into mirabilite hydrate, has partially dehydrated Natrii Sulfas simultaneously Occur to dissolve and enter in salt, freeze nitre process mirabilite hydrate high efficiency follow-up winter and separate out, take mass crystallization out of Water, promotes rapidly lithium enrichment rate, so that the whole process time shortens more than 2 months.Dehydration Natrii Sulfas Can be thenardite or be partly dehydrated Natrii Sulfas, these Natrii Sulfas may utilize carbonate brine processing procedure salt pan voluntarily The Natrii Sulfas produced, it is not necessary to outsourcing.The Natrii Sulfas that salt pan produces voluntarily, without processing especially, only need to be deposited directly on Somewhere, is dehydrated through weathering, and dehydration or half dehydration, all can use in this step the most completely.De- Water Natrii Sulfas adition process, the concentration range controlling sulfate ion is crucial.Dehydration Natrii Sulfas adds too much can be made Sulfate ion increases and is easily caused generation lithium sulfate complex salt, thus affect follow-up enriching lithium ion.And Dehydration Natrii Sulfas addition is inadequate, and in follow-up nitre process of freezing, mirabilite hydrate eduction rate is low can affect evaporation and concentration speed Degree, delays the speed of enriching lithium process.
The above-mentioned procedure declaration importing deep lake salt field when lithium concentration reaches 1.2g/L~1.8g/L is as follows: first First, verifying through lot of experiments, the optium concentration of lithium ion is 1.5g/L, and actual production process lithium ion is dense It is all preferable condition that degree all can obtain between preferable effect, such as 1.45g/L~1.55g/L close to 1.5g/L. Secondly, in actual production process, different according to season, the height of ambient temperature, need the lithium ion controlled Concentration can change.Until season proceeds to autumn, although be autumn, but ambient temperature is not the most stable State, i.e. ambient temperature may be higher, it is also possible to relatively low, it should control with the temperature of salt in the middle of reality When system imports deep lake salt field.Summary experiment law finds, proceed to autumn when season, ambient temperature is higher, When salt minimum temperature is more than 5 DEG C, can control lithium concentration importing deep lake salt field close to 1.2g/L, Such as, 1.2g/L~1.5g/L;Season proceeds to autumn, can control lithium concentration importing close to 1.8g/L Deep lake salt field, such as, 1.5g/L~1.8g/L.No matter during the seasonal variations of plateau, how ambient temperature changes, Control lithium concentration be which scope will be with lithium ion in practical operation not with the form of lithium carbonate mineral Precipitation is as the criterion.Dilute salt in the described first step uses the original salt of carbonate-type, and wherein lithium concentration connects Nearly 0.16g/L;Or employing is concentrated to certain phase from the original bittern evaporation of carbonate-type, wherein lithium ion is dense The degree salt less than 1.2g/L.Dilute salt mentioned by present patent application context is defined in this section dilute Salt.
Highlands ambient temperature spring and summer is-10 DEG C~20 DEG C, and autumn and winter, ambient temperature was-30 DEG C~0 DEG C.
The composition of the original salt of carbonate type salt lake is as shown in following table one:
The composition of the original salt of table one carbonate type salt lake
From above-mentioned table one: carbonate type salt lake original salt A consists of: B2O3It is 0.1~3g/L, Li is 0.1~2g/L, and K is 1~30g/L, and Na is 10~120g/L, and Mg is 0.01~20g/L, SO4 2-For 1~40g/L, CO3Being 1~120g/L, Br is 0.01~0.50g/L, and Cl is 20~300g/L.
In the annual most of the time, original for plateau carbonate type salt lake salt can be pumped into salt pan and enter Row solar evaporation.In the present embodiment, select Lake Jiezechaka lake water, owing to this lake lake water is than thin (i.e. fresh water Content is high), for avoiding icing effect to operate, should avoid taking in the winter time halogen as far as possible.Therefore, in the present embodiment, Take salt season at spring and summer and carry out test operation.Table two gives Lake Jiezechaka Bittern of Salt Pan 2014~2015 Year on-the-spot evaporation data.
Table two Lake Jiezechaka Bittern of Salt Pan evaporation liquid phase composition
It is attached in specific experiment, sees table two, take Lake Jiezechaka Bittern of Salt Pan on February 11st, 2014 Analyzing, lithium ion initial concentration is 0.24g/L, beginning solar evaporation from this day, As time goes on, Lithium concentration is gradually increasing along with the constantly evaporation of salt, during having arrived 2014.9.20~2014.11.8, Lithium concentration has about risen to 1.2g/L~1.8g/L scope, imports the degree of depth deep pond more than or equal to 2m Salt Tanaka, continues evaporation and concentration.
During the stage that dehydration Natrii Sulfas adds can be 2014.7.11~2014.11.8, the detailed process of interpolation can To be (but not limited to): dehydration Natrii Sulfas is stacked into one and processes porch, pond, by original for carbonate-type halogen After water breaks through dehydration Natrii Sulfas, entrance processes pond, and detection processes the concentration of sulfate ion in pond, thus controls The addition of dehydration Natrii Sulfas, dehydration Natrii Sulfas addition too much can make sulfate ion increase and be easily caused generation sulfur Acid lithium complex salt, thus affect follow-up enriching lithium ion.And it is inadequate to be dehydrated Natrii Sulfas addition, freeze nitre follow-up Process, mirabilite hydrate eduction rate is low can affect evaporation and concentration speed, delays the speed of enriching lithium process.Therefore This stage, control the concentration of sulfate ion be how many scopes be crucial.
Can incite somebody to action before entering deep lake salt field according to lithium concentration in temperature Change situation and concentrated brine Concentrated brine imports the degree of depth shallow lake salt Tanaka less than or equal to 0.5m and continues evaporation and concentration, or is importing directly into Deep lake salt Tanaka's evaporation and concentration.Depending on the annual seasonal temperature situation of change of Salt Lake Area, proceed to when season In autumn, when temperature starts to reduce, salt minimum temperature is at 0 DEG C~5 DEG C, and lithium concentration is close to 1.2g/L (1.2 G/L~1.5g/L) salt first import the degree of depth and continue evaporation and concentration less than or equal to the shallow lake salt Tanaka of 0.5m, Deep lake salt Tanaka is imported when being evaporated in salt lithium concentration close to 1.8g/L (1.5g/L~1.8g/L).When Proceed to autumn season, but when ambient temperature is relatively low, lithium ion, below 0 DEG C, is contained by salt minimum temperature Amount controls be introduced directly into deep lake salt Tanaka's evaporation and concentration close to the salt of 1.8g/L (1.5g/L~1.8g/L). Be in autumn when season, ambient temperature is higher, when salt minimum temperature is more than 5 DEG C, by lithium concentration Control be introduced directly into deep lake salt field close to the salt of 1.2g/L (1.2g/L-1.5g/L).
Second step, along with proceeding to winter of highlands season, when ambient temperature is-15 DEG C~-5 DEG C, in a large number Mirabilite hydrate preferentially separates out, along with temperature continues to reduce and the precipitation of water of crystallization, Borax, sodium chloride, chlorination Potassium also separates out with the form of aqueous salt or simple salt, and in the case, in salt, lithium concentration rises rapidly, In salt, sulfate ion concentration is as Con trolling index, when the concentration of sulfate ion is reduced to 4g/L~7g/L Time, in salt, lithium concentration rises very rapidly up to 2.6g/L~3.5g/L, obtains rich lithium carbonate after solid-liquid separation Salt B and mirabilite ore.
Mirabilite ore is based on mirabilite hydrate, and mass content accounts for 70%~more than 90%, remaining be contaminated with a small amount of Borax, Sodium chloride, potassium chloride.
Preferably, when the concentration of sulfate ion is preferably controlled in 6g/L-7g/L, and treat lithium ion in salt Concentration rises to 2.6g/L~3.5g/L, carries out solid-liquid separation, the rich lithium carbonate brine obtained, follow-up preparation The lithium carbonate yield obtained when lithium carbonate concentrate can be higher.
In being attached to specifically test, as shown in Table 2, December in 2014 14 days~on January 28th, 2015 it Between salt in lithium concentration be all higher than 2.6g/L and less than 3.5g/L, such as, 3.36g/L, 3.39g/L; Some is especially more than 3.5g/L, at other it was found that, in salt lithium concentration can reach 3.9g/L. Such rich lithium carbonate brine can obtain high-grade lithium carbonate concentrate by hyperthermic treatment.
3rd step, the rich lithium carbonate brine B obtained by second step imports in temperature elevation system and is warming up to 20 DEG C ~60 DEG C, separating out lithium carbonate concentrate, when in salt, lithium concentration is down to 1g/L~2g/L, solid-liquid separation obtains carbon Acid lithium concentrate and salt C.
The grade of this lithium carbonate concentrate, more than 60%, is less than by limiting the evaporation of the water yield in temperature-rise period The precise controlling of 10%, the grade of lithium carbonate concentrate can reach more than 90%.
Preferable temperature controls at 40 DEG C~50 DEG C, preferably close to 45 DEG C.
Described temperature elevation system can be solar temperature rising system, Wen Peng pond or solar pond.
When using solar temperature rising system, the temperature-rise period of salt B comprises the following steps: first, by halogen Water B sprays in solar temperature rising system from top to bottom, simultaneously by the hot-air of 100 DEG C~200 DEG C with described Salt B is in opposite directions or the mode that intersects imports so that salt B and hot-air are with the form of relative or crossing motion Carry out heat exchange, thus brine temperature rises very rapidly up to 20 DEG C~60 DEG C and flows in thermal insulation pool;Secondly, will Described salt is incubated 2~48 hours in thermal insulation pool, constantly separates out lithium carbonate, treats lithium concentration fall in salt Lithium carbonate concentrate is obtained to solid-liquid separation during 1g/L~2g/L.
It is less than 10% by limiting the evaporation rate of the water yield in solar temperature rising system, the lithium carbonate concentrate obtained Grade reaches more than 90%.Such as, before salt enters, the dilution of part light salt is added or in temperature-rise period Spraying adds fresh water, it is possible to add fresh water in thermal insulation pool.
When using Wen Peng pond as temperature elevation system, it is provided that a Wen Peng pond, this Wen Peng pond includes cell body and closing The diffuser of this cell body, along the length direction of this cell body, the width of this cell body is gradually reduced, and this cell body The degree of depth is gradually increased, and the temperature in this Wen Peng pond is higher 20 DEG C~50 DEG C than ambient temperature;At autumn and winter season and ring During border temperature-30 DEG C~0 DEG C, by salt B along the length direction in described Wen Peng pond and from the width of cell body big one End imports described Wen Peng pond, and described salt B enters in big and depth as shallow the region of width of the cell body in this Wen Peng pond The quick heat exchange of row, it is rapidly heated, and quickly separates out batch lithium carbonate, when salt B arrives the cell body in this Wen Peng pond The region that width is little and the degree of depth is deep, salt B reaches stable through abundant heat-exchange temperature, and separates out a large amount of carbon Acid lithium, when in salt, lithium concentration is down to 1g/L~2g/L, solid-liquid separation obtains lithium carbonate concentrate.
4th step, when ambient temperature is higher than 0 DEG C, the salt C that described 3rd step obtains and and high-magnesium brine Mixing, mixed proportion is according to the thing of high-magnesium brine with magnesium ion in the mixing salt of salt C composition with potassium ion The ratio of the amount of matter is that 1.5:1~5:1 measures, solid-liquid separation after being aged 1~10 day after mixing, obtains salt D With high-purity carbonic acid magnesium salt ore deposit.
Described high-magnesium brine is the chloride type salt that magnesium ion content is more than or equal to 10g/L, or magnesium ion The content magnesium chloride solution more than or equal to 10g/L.
With MgCO in the magnesium carbonate salt mine obtained3·3H2The purity of O meter is more than 60%, and impurity is predominantly NaCl and a small amount of KCl, can remove through washing and just can commercially sell without the most refined processing, Due to this ore deposit mechanical impurity, it is easy to be processed into high purity product.
Further, since the temperature elevation system that the 3rd step uses is the system of closing, avoid drawing in temperature-rise period Entering the mechanical admixture in the external world, therefore, the final magnesium carbonate salt mine prepared is through the simple washing process of fresh water, directly It is connected on commercial type.
