Description

Potassium removal process of ore lithium extraction production system
Technical Field
The invention discloses a potassium removal process of an ore lithium extraction production system, belongs to the technical field of hydrometallurgy, and particularly relates to the technical field of lithium salt production.
Background
Spodumene is always the main raw material for extracting lithium, and has simple composition, high lithium-containing grade and Li 2 O theory 8.03%, but due to sodium potassium substitution, li is generally 2 O content is 2.91-7.66% (Su Hui, etc., research on extraction and recovery of lithium from ore resources progresses chemical engineering report, 2019, 70 (1): 10-23.). K impurity outlets are fewer in the production process of lithium carbonate and lithium hydroxide, so that K is continuously enriched in the production mother liquor in the long-term production process, and the pollution of potassium products is easy to cause. Generally, K in a lithium hydroxide production line is enriched in primary evaporation mother liquor, and K in a lithium carbonate production line is enriched in sodium precipitation mother liquor.
At present, potassium in a production system is mainly removed through a sodium sulphate working section, and the method is simple and easy to implement, but has some problems. For example, although K in the production system can be partially separated out along with sodium sulfate crystallization in the process of evaporation, common K salts are all soluble compounds, so most K can be enriched in sodium precipitation mother liquor and remain in the production system, and the quality can be still affected. Meanwhile, the particle size of the formed potassium sulfate is smaller after evaporation, separation is difficult, and the production efficiency is affected. Although there are also some manufacturers attempting to selectively separate Li-K after precipitation of lithium from the mother liquor. However, lithium carbonate is a slightly soluble substance, and Li-K is difficult to separate; although lithium phosphate is an insoluble precipitate, subsequent recovery of lithium from lithium phosphate is also a problem. Patent (CN 102010991B) describes the production of lithium carbonate by potassium removal from lepidolite by means of the formation of potassium aluminum sulfate at low temperature. However, the process flow is long, and the formed aluminum potassium sulfate is a soluble substance, and the solubility of the aluminum potassium sulfate is obviously affected by temperature. Therefore, the method has higher operation difficulty in removing potassium and is not popularized in a large range temporarily.
