Embodiment
For the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention are more clearly understood, below in conjunction with specific embodiment, to this hair It is bright to be described in detail.It should be appreciated that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present invention, it is not used to limit The present invention.
The present invention is directed to Qinghai-Tibet social economy and nature feature, proposes to realize using natural energy, bittern composition The method that carbonate type salt lake produces multi mineral, to illustrate the feasibility of this method, example is utilized as with Lake Jiezechaka, can To understand, the invention is applicable not only to the exploitation of Lake Jiezechaka, the salt lake resources for being also applied for having under the conditions of similar environments Exploitation.
The method that lithium carbonate is prepared from the carbonate type bittern of plateau of the present invention is described step by step below.
The first step, the original bittern A of carbonate-type in the fall before, be evaporated concentration, and according to the change of environmental condition, Fresh water or dilute bittern constantly are imported to adjust lithium concentration into evaporation and concentration bittern so that lithium ion is not analysed with mineral forms Go out, when lithium concentration reaches 1.2g/L~1.8g/L in bittern, bittern is imported into deep lake salt of the depth more than or equal to 2m Tanaka continues to be concentrated by evaporation, and the bittern first passes through a salt pond for being stacked with dehydration saltcake during bittern to be imported to deep pond, Control enters concentration 20g/L~30g/L of sulfate ion in deep pond bittern, and constantly to deep lake salt field in the evaporation process It is middle to import fresh water or dilute bittern to adjust lithium concentration so that lithium ion is not separated out with mineral forms.
Original bittern A is evaporated, can be passed to be stacked with the salt pan for being dehydrated saltcake after concentration process, detects simultaneously The concentration of sulfate ion in bittern, (avoiding excessive concentration or too low).Dehydration saltcake adds so that bittern exists in this step During flowing through dehydration saltcake, dehydration saltcake absorbs the moisture content in bittern, is gradually transformed into mirabilite hydrate, while has part de- The dissolving of water saltcake enters in bittern, and follow-up winter freezes nitre process mirabilite hydrate high efficiency and separated out, and takes mass crystallization water out of, carries rapidly Lithium enrichment rate is risen, so that the whole process time shortens more than 2 months.It can be ten that freezing and crystallizing separates out to be dehydrated saltcake Water saltcake is dehydrated obtained thenardite or partially dehydrated saltcake after weathering.These saltcake can utilize carbonate brine to handle The saltcake that process salt pan voluntarily produces, without outsourcing.The saltcake that salt pan voluntarily produces need to be only deposited directly on without especially handling Somewhere, it is dehydrated, either dehydration or partially dehydrated completely, is can use in this step by weathering.Saltcake is dehydrated to add Process, the concentration range for controlling sulfate ion are crucial.Dehydration saltcake, which adds, excessively can cause sulfate ion to increase easily Cause to produce lithium sulfate complex salt, so as to influence subsequently to be enriched with lithium ion.And it is inadequate to be dehydrated saltcake addition, subsequently freezing nitre mistake Journey, mirabilite hydrate eduction rate is low to be influenceed to be concentrated by evaporation speed, delay the speed of enriching lithium process.
It is above-mentioned deep lake salt field is imported when lithium concentration reaches 1.2g/L~1.8g/L procedure declaration it is as follows:First, Optium concentration by lot of experiments checking lithium ion is 1.5g/L, and actual production process lithium concentration is close to 1.5g/L Preferable effect is obtained, such as is preferable condition between 1.45g/L~1.55g/L.Secondly, in actual production process, according to season Section is different, and the height of environment temperature is, it is necessary to which the lithium concentration of control can change.Until season is transferred to autumn, although Autumn, but environment temperature is not perhaps stable state, i.e. and environment temperature may be higher, it is also possible to relatively low, it should among reality When the temperature of bittern imports deep lake salt field to control.Experiment law is summarized to find, when season is transferred to autumn, environment temperature compared with Height, when bittern minimum temperature is more than 5 DEG C, lithium concentration can be controlled and import deep lake salt field close to 1.2g/L, for example, 1.2g/L~1.5g/L;Autumn is transferred to when season, environment temperature is relatively low, can control lithium concentration and be imported close to 1.8g/L Deep lake salt field, for example, 1.5g/L~1.8g/L.No matter how environment temperature changes during the seasonal variations of plateau, control lithium from Sub- concentration is that lithium separates out not in the form of carbonic acid lithium minerals for the foundation of which scope.
Dilute bittern in the first step uses the original bittern of carbonate-type, and wherein lithium concentration is close to 0.16g/L;Or Certain phase is concentrated to using from the original bittern evaporation of carbonate-type, wherein lithium concentration is less than 1.2g/L bittern.This is specially Dilute bittern mentioned by profit application context is dilute bittern defined in this section.
Highlands spring and summer environment temperature is -10 DEG C~20 DEG C, and autumn and winter environment temperature is -30 DEG C~0 DEG C.
The composition of the original bittern of carbonate type salt lake is as shown in following table one:
The composition of the original bittern of the carbonate type salt lake of table one
From above-mentioned table one:The original bittern A of carbonate type salt lake composition is:B2O3For 0.1~3g/L, Li is 0.1~ 2g/L, K are 1~30g/L, and Na is 10~120g/L, and Mg is 0.01~20g/L, SO4 2-For 1~40g/L, CO3For 1~120g/ L, Br are 0.01~0.50g/L, and Cl is 20~300g/L.
In the most of the time of whole year, carbonate type salt lake original bittern in plateau can be pumped into salt pan and carry out Exposure to Sunlight Evaporation.In the present embodiment, from Lake Jiezechaka lake water, because the lake lake water is than thin (i.e. fresh water content is high), to avoid freezing Operation is influenceed, should try one's best and avoid taking halogen in the winter time.Therefore, in the present embodiment, bittern is taken to carry out test operation in spring and summer season.Table Two give Lake Jiezechaka Bittern of Salt Pan 2014~2015 years scene evaporation data.
The Lake Jiezechaka Bittern of Salt Pan of table two evaporation liquid phase composition
Be attached in specific experiment, referring to table two, take within 2 11st, 2014 Lake Jiezechaka Bittern of Salt Pan analyze, lithium from Sub- initial concentration is 0.24g/L, since this day solar evaporation, over time, lithium concentration is with bittern Constantly evaporate and be gradually increasing, during 2014.9.20~2014.11.8 has been arrived, lithium concentration has about risen to 1.2g/ L~1.8g/L scopes, the deep lake salt Tanaka that depth is more than or equal to 2m is imported, continues to be concentrated by evaporation.
During the stage for being dehydrated saltcake addition can be 2014.-7.12~2014.11.8, the detailed process of addition can be with It is (but not limited to):Dehydration saltcake is stacked into a processing pond porch, by lithium concentration 1.2g/L~1.8g/L scopes Enriched carbonate type bittern break through dehydration saltcake after enter processing pond, the concentration of sulfate ion in detection process pond, from And the addition of dehydration saltcake is controlled, dehydration saltcake, which adds, can excessively cause sulfate ion increases easily to cause to produce lithium sulfate Complex salt, so as to influence subsequently to be enriched with lithium ion.And it is inadequate to be dehydrated saltcake addition, subsequently freezing nitre process, mirabilite hydrate analysis Extracting rate is low to be influenceed to be concentrated by evaporation speed, delay the speed of enriching lithium process.Therefore this stage, the concentration of sulfate ion is controlled It is crucial for how many scope.
According to lithium concentration in temperature Change situation and concentrated brine, be able to will be concentrated before deep lake salt field is entered Bittern, which imports shallow lake salt Tanaka of the depth less than or equal to 0.5m, to be continued to be concentrated by evaporation, or is importing directly into deep lake salt Tanaka evaporation Concentration.Depending on the annual seasonal temperature situation of change in Salt Lake Area, autumn is transferred to when season, when temperature starts to reduce, bittern Minimum temperature at 0 DEG C -5 DEG C, lithium concentration close to 1.2g/L (1.2g/L~1.5g/L) bittern first import depth be less than or Shallow lake salt Tanaka equal to 0.5m continues to be concentrated by evaporation, be evaporated in bittern lithium concentration close to 1.8g/L (1.5g/L~ Deep lake salt Tanaka is imported when 1.8g/L);
Autumn is transferred to when season, but when environment temperature is relatively low, bittern minimum temperature is below 0 DEG C, by lithium ion content Control is introduced directly into deep lake salt Tanaka in the bittern close to 1.8g/L (1.5g/L~1.8g/L) and is concentrated by evaporation.
Autumn is in when season, environment temperature is higher, and when bittern minimum temperature is more than 5 DEG C, lithium concentration is controlled Deep lake salt field is introduced directly into the bittern close to 1.2g/L (1.2g/L~1.5g/L).
Second step, as season is transferred to the winter of highlands, when environment temperature is -15 DEG C~-5 DEG C, a large amount of ten water awns Nitre preferentially separates out, and as temperature continues to reduce the precipitation with the crystallization water, borax, sodium chloride, potassium chloride are also with aqueous salt or simple The form of salt separates out, and in the case, lithium concentration rises rapidly in bittern, using sulfate ion concentration in bittern as control Index, when the concentration of sulfate ion is reduced to 4g/L~7g/L, in bittern lithium concentration rise very rapidly up to 2.6g/L~ 3.5g/L, rich lithium carbonate brine B and mirabilite ore are obtained after separation of solid and liquid.
For mirabilite ore based on mirabilite hydrate, mass content accounts for more than 70%~90%, and remaining is contaminated with a small amount of borax, chlorination Sodium, potassium chloride.
Preferably, when the concentration of sulfate ion is preferably controlled in 6g/L~7g/L, and treat in bittern on lithium concentration 2.6g/L~3.5g/L is risen to, separation of solid and liquid is carried out, obtained rich lithium carbonate brine, is obtained when subsequently preparing carbonic acid lithium concentrate The lithium carbonate yield obtained can be higher.
It is attached in specific experiment, as shown in Table 2, in the bittern between December 14~28 days January in 2015 in 2014 Lithium concentration is all higher than 2.6g/L and is less than 3.5g/L, for example, 3.36g/L, 3.39g/L;Some be even more more than 3.5g/L, Other are it was found that, lithium concentration can reach 3.9g/L in bittern.Such rich lithium carbonate brine by heating at Reason can obtain high-grade carbonic acid lithium concentrate.
3rd step, the rich lithium carbonate brine B that second step obtains is imported in temperature elevation system and is warming up to 20 DEG C~60 DEG C, analysis Go out carbonic acid lithium concentrate, the grade of the carbonic acid lithium concentrate is more than 60%.Preferable temperature is controlled at 40 DEG C~50 DEG C, preferably close to 45 ℃。
The temperature elevation system can be solar temperature rising system, Wen Peng ponds or solar pond.
When using solar temperature rising system, bittern B temperature-rise period comprises the following steps:First, by bittern B in the sun It can spray from top to bottom in temperature elevation system, while side that is 100 DEG C~200 DEG C of hot-air and the bittern B is opposite or intersecting Formula imports so that bittern B and hot-air carry out heat exchange in the form of relative or intersecting motion, so as to which brine temperature rises rapidly To 20 DEG C~60 DEG C and flow into thermal insulation pool;Secondly, the bittern is incubated 2~48 hours in thermal insulation pool, constantly separates out carbon Sour lithium, separation of solid and liquid obtains carbonic acid lithium concentrate when lithium concentration is down to 1g/L~2g/L in bittern.
It is less than 10% by the evaporation rate for limiting water in solar temperature rising system, the grade of obtained carbonic acid lithium concentrate reaches To more than 90%.Such as added before bittern enters part light bittern dilution or in temperature-rise period spraying add fresh water, also can be Fresh water is added in thermal insulation pool.
When using Wen Peng ponds as temperature elevation system, there is provided a Wen Peng ponds, the Wen Peng ponds include pond body and close the pond body Diffuser, along the length direction of the pond body, the width of the pond body is gradually reduced, and the depth of the pond body gradually increases, the temperature Temperature in canopy pond is higher than ambient temperature 20 DEG C~50 DEG C;In autumn and winter and -30 DEG C of environment temperature~0 DEG C, by bittern B edges The length direction in the Wen Peng ponds and the Wen Peng ponds are imported from the big one end of the width of pond body, the bittern B is in the Wen Peng ponds Pond body width it is big and the region of depth as shallow is quickly exchanged heat, is rapidly heated, and lithium carbonate is quickly separated out, when bittern B is arrived The region that width up to the pond body in the Wen Peng ponds is small and depth is deep, bittern B reach stable by abundant heat-exchange temperature, and separate out big Lithium carbonate is measured, separation of solid and liquid obtains carbonic acid lithium concentrate when lithium concentration is down to 1g/L~2g/L in bittern.
