Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of environmental protection, and relates to a method for removing carbonate from lithium precipitation mother liquor.
Background
With the increasing shortage of traditional energy sources such as petroleum, the development of new energy sources is more and more emphasized, and particularly, the demand for lithium batteries is rapidly increasing. Lithium carbonate is an important component of a lithium battery, lithium is generally precipitated by excess sodium carbonate in industry, solid lithium carbonate and lithium precipitation mother liquor are obtained after solid-liquid separation, the lithium precipitation mother liquor also contains more lithium ions due to the problem of lithium precipitation efficiency, and if the lithium precipitation mother liquor is directly discharged, a large amount of lithium loss is caused. Therefore, the lithium deposition mother liquor is generally evaporated and concentrated to deposit lithium again, the lithium deposition mother liquor needs to remove carbonate before entering an evaporation system, at present, the lithium deposition mother liquor is industrially treated by sulfuric acid to remove carbonate in the lithium deposition mother liquor, and then the lithium deposition mother liquor is adjusted to be neutral by liquid alkali and enters the evaporation and concentration system.
For example, CN113912090a discloses a method for recovering high-purity lithium carbonate by removing mirabilite through causticizing and freezing lithium precipitation mother liquor, wherein a certain amount of calcium oxide is added into the lithium precipitation mother liquor for causticizing and stirring, the pH =12-14 of the solution is adjusted, the reaction lasts for 2.0-8.5h, the temperature is 30-60 ℃, calcium carbonate precipitate and causticizing liquor are obtained after filtering, and carbonate in the lithium precipitation mother liquor is removed. For example, CN112158865a discloses a method for recycling lithium element in lithium precipitation mother liquor, wherein the lithium carbonate is removed by adding hydrochloric acid into the lithium precipitation mother liquor, controlling the pH of the mother liquor within the range of 4 to 7, adding hydrochloric acid with the molar weight of chloride ions being 1.5 to 3.0 times of the molar weight of carbonate ions in the solution, mixing the lithium precipitation mother liquor and hydrochloric acid, then sequentially stirring through a buffer tank, heating while stirring, discharging carbon dioxide generated in the solution, and removing carbonate. For example, CN105347364a discloses a method for closed-loop recovery of lithium deposition mother liquor in lithium carbonate production, wherein the carbonate removal method comprises the following steps: adding hydrochloric acid into the lithium precipitation mother liquor, controlling the pH value of the mother liquor within the range of 3.5-6.5, controlling the molar weight of chloride ions added with the hydrochloric acid to be 1.1-3.0 times of the molar weight of carbonate ions in the solution, and discharging carbon dioxide generated in the solution out of the system as soon as possible by stirring, heating, natural evaporation and vacuumizing to achieve the aim of removing the carbonate.
However, the above methods for removing carbonate are complicated, and the pH of the mother liquor needs to be adjusted by adding a pH adjusting agent, which takes a long time and is not suitable for mass production.
Therefore, in order to avoid the use of acid liquor and alkali liquor, the invention needs to invent a method for removing carbonate from lithium precipitation mother liquor with high efficiency and green performance.

And (3) analysis:
table 1 is a statistical table of the content of each ion in the primary filtrate after removing carbonic acid in examples 1 to 6 and comparative examples 1 to 2 of the present invention, and it can be seen from examples 1 to 6 that the content of carbonate in the lithium precipitation mother liquor can be significantly reduced by using the nickel-cobalt-manganese wastewater to react with the lithium precipitation mother liquor or by using the aluminum salt and the lithium precipitation mother liquor to pre-react and then react with the nickel-cobalt-manganese wastewater, and when the molar ratio of the total content of nickel ions, cobalt ions and manganese ions in the nickel-cobalt-manganese wastewater to the content of carbonate in the lithium precipitation mother liquor is moderate, the removal effect of carbonate can be ensured, and the introduction of excessive impurity ions can be avoided; when the total content of nickel ions, manganese ions and cobalt ions in the nickel-cobalt-manganese wastewater is relatively high, more nickel ions, manganese ions and cobalt ions are introduced into the primary filtrate, although carbonate in the lithium precipitation mother liquor can be removed well.
As can be seen from the data of comparative example 1, if the lithium precipitation mother liquor, the aluminum salt and the nickel cobalt manganese wastewater are mixed together, although carbonate in the lithium precipitation mother liquor can be removed, relatively more impurity ions remain in the primary filtrate due to the interaction between aluminum ions and nickel ions, manganese ions and cobalt ions, and the aluminum ions also affect the formation of the nickel cobalt manganese carbonate slag.
It can be seen from the data of comparative example 2 that carbonate in the lithium precipitation mother liquor can not be removed well by using calcium oxide alone, and relatively more calcium ions can remain in the obtained primary filtrate.
The applicant states that the present invention is illustrated by the above examples to show the detailed method of the present invention, but the present invention is not limited to the above detailed method, that is, it does not mean that the present invention must rely on the above detailed method to be carried out. It should be understood by those skilled in the art that any modifications of the present invention, equivalent substitutions of the raw materials of the product of the present invention, and the addition of auxiliary components, selection of specific modes, etc., are within the scope and disclosure of the present invention.
