A kind of method of utilization Phosphoric Acid Selectively leaching lithium from lepidolite
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of method of utilization Phosphoric Acid Selectively leaching lithium from lepidolite, belongs to lithium resource extraction
Field.
The content of the invention
Lepidolite is modal lithium minerals, is the important mineral for refining lithium.It is the mafic aluminosilicate of potassium and lithium, category
One kind in mica mineral.It is one of primary raw material of extraction rare metal lithium.It is also containing rubidium and caesium often in lepidolite
Extract the important source material of these rare metals.Wherein Yichun City stores lepidolite ore the biggest in the world, and lithium oxide is exploited
Amount accounts for 31%, the 8.2% of the world of the whole nation.
With regard to extracting lithium from lepidolite with the acid-hatching of young eggs, it will usually using sulphuric acid or hydrochloric acid.But no matter with hydrochloric acid or sulphuric acid,
Can all cause lithium together to leach with substantial amounts of aluminum when lepidolite is leached, bring inconvenience to leachate remove impurity sinker operation.

It is not intended to lithium ore souring stage.
《The research of sulfuric acid to leach lepidolite extracted lithium method》The method that lepidolite carries lithium with sulfuric acid reaction re-leaching is have studied,
This article explore granule size, sulfuric acid concentration, liquid-solid ratio, reaction temperature, the response time on lithium extraction rate affect, research show with
Lepidolite particle size reduction, sulfuric acid concentration increase, liquid-solid ratio is increased, reaction temperature is raised, the response time increases, lithium extraction rate is carried
It is high;M (55% sulphuric acid): m (lepidolites of 150 mesh or so)=2: 1,135 DEG C or so reaction 9h, lithium extraction rate up to 96.72%,
But itself and the foreign ion problem during unresolved remove impurity sinker.
Through information retrieval, the report that Phosphoric Acid used in the acidification technique of lithium is extracted in lepidolite Ore is not yet found
Road.Based on this, the present invention proposes a kind of method that selectivity from lepidolite leaches lithium.
The content of the invention
Removal of impurities cost is high and thorough in order to overcome existing lepidolite Ore extraction lithium technique, the purity of follow-up lithium product
Not high technical deficiency, the present invention provides a kind of method of utilization Phosphoric Acid Selectively leaching lithium from lepidolite, the preparation
Phosphoric acid solution or the mixed acid solution including phosphoric acid carry out Acid leaching to lepidolite used in technique, and it effectively can will carry lithium
During foreign ion be converted into precipitation so that the cost for subsequently putting forward lithium technique is greatly lowered, and product purity substantially rises
It is high.The recipe step is simple, and treatment effeciency is high, there is good prospects for commercial application.
This is using Phosphoric Acid basic principles of chemistry of the method for Selectively leaching lithium from lepidolite:
2H3PO4+Al2O3==AlPO4+H2O;
2H3PO4+Li2O==2LiH2PO4+H2O;
2H3PO4+K2O==2KH2PO4+H2O;
2H3PO4+Rb2O==2RbH2PO4+H2O;
2H3PO4+Cs2O==2CsH2PO4+H2O.
The present invention realizes above-mentioned technique effect by following proposal:
A kind of method of utilization Phosphoric Acid Selectively leaching lithium from lepidolite, it comprises the steps:
Lepidolite is sized mixing with Phosphoric Acid solution by liquid-solid ratio 3.0~5.0, slurry is obtained, total phosphorus is 3mol/ in solution
L~5mol/L;Slurry is reacted being heated to 80 DEG C~105 DEG C;The response time is controlled for 2h~8h, filtration carries out liquid and consolidates
Separate, obtain lithium leachate.
Method using Phosphoric Acid Selectively leaching lithium from lepidolite as above, described Phosphoric Acid solution
For phosphoric acid solution or be to include phosphoric acid or phosphatic acid solution.Preferably, described acid solution include hydrochloric acid, nitric acid,
One or more in sulphuric acid, bromic acid.
As a kind of embodiment preferred for this invention, the described utilization Phosphoric Acid Selectively leaching from lepidolite
Phosphoric Acid solution of the lepidolite with total phosphorus for 3mol/L is sized mixing according to liquid-solid ratio 5.0 in the method for lithium, then in 100 DEG C of reactions
6 hours.
As another embodiment preferred for this invention, the described utilization Phosphoric Acid selective leaching from lepidolite
Go out Phosphoric Acid solution of the lepidolite with total phosphorus for 4mol/L in the method for lithium to size mixing according to liquid-solid ratio 4.0, it is then anti-in 105 DEG C
Answer 4 hours.
As another embodiment preferred for this invention, the described utilization Phosphoric Acid selective leaching from lepidolite
Go out Phosphoric Acid solution of the lepidolite with total phosphorus for 5mol/L in the method for lithium to size mixing according to liquid-solid ratio 3.0, it is then anti-in 80 DEG C
Answer 2 hours.
