Description

Film for extracting lithium from salt lake brine, preparation method of film and lithium extraction method
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of electrode materials, in particular to a thin film for extracting lithium from salt lake brine, a preparation method of the thin film and a lithium extraction method.
Background
The lithium extraction from the salt lake brine is dominant in the world lithium salt production process, and reaches about 80% of the total yield, but the proportion of the lithium extraction yield from the salt lake brine in the total yield of the lithium salt is lower in China. The main reason is that the salt lake brine in China has high magnesium-lithium ratio and high lithium extraction difficulty. The adsorption method has great advantages in economy and environmental protection aiming at the brine with high magnesium-lithium ratio and low lithium concentration, and the method has the advantages of relatively simple process, low energy consumption, high recovery rate and good selectivity, and is a preferable process scheme. The adsorbents (ion sieves) used in the adsorption process are generally classified into organic adsorbents and inorganic adsorbents.
The organic adsorbent mainly studies crown ether, and the application is limited due to higher cost at present. The inorganic adsorbent is mainly divided into a manganese-containing adsorbent, a titanium-containing adsorbent, an aluminum-containing adsorbent, a lithium antimonate adsorbent and the like, and has high selectivity. The principle is as follows: composite lithium-containing metal oxides are produced by calcination and then the lithium of the oxide is replaced by hydrogen by a strong acid-soaked ion exchange reaction. The acid-leached oxide can be used for extracting lithium in low brine concentration again through ion exchange reaction. And the desorption of lithium ions is realized by acid leaching the ion sieve after the extraction of lithium again. The inorganic adsorbent has high selectivity and is very suitable for extracting lithium ions in brine with high magnesium-lithium ratio. However, the inorganic ion sieve powder has the problems of small particle size and poor fluidity, and the contradiction between powder loss and difficult recycling can occur in industrial application. In order to solve such a problem, a common method for improving the adsorption performance of the powder is to granulate the powder and then adsorb the powder, or to prepare the powder into slurry and then to hang the powder on a net-shaped film. However, in these improvement processes, a large amount of organic binders, surfactants and other auxiliary agents need to be added, the adsorption capacity and the ion exchange rate are reduced, the operation period is greatly increased, continuous production cannot be performed, and huge equipment needs to be used.
