Description

Solvent extraction system for efficiently extracting lithium
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of chemical separation, and particularly relates to a solvent extraction system for efficiently extracting lithium.
Background
Lithium is the metal with the highest energy density, is an important constituent element of a lithium ion battery, and has an important role in the field of new energy. With the increasing popularity of electric vehicles, the demand of lithium salts in the market is rapidly increasing. However, lithium is associated with various alkali metals, thereby resulting in low lithium extraction yield and low lithium salt purity. Especially for low-grade lithium resources, the extraction efficiency of lithium is extremely low at present.
Currently, lithium salts are mainly derived from ores (such as spodumene and lepidolite), salt lake brines and battery recycling. Extraction of lithium from these three sources all involves the separation of lithium from other alkali metals (sodium, potassium), such as: (1) The salt lake brine after magnesium removal is a mixed solution containing lithium, sodium and potassium; (2) The solution after extracting the divalent and trivalent metals from the battery leachate is a mixed solution containing lithium and sodium; (3) Lithium-containing wastewater generated in the battery recovery process is a mixed solution containing lithium and sodium; (4) the lithium precipitation mother liquor is a mixed solution containing lithium and sodium; (5) The oil field brine after removing the calcium and the magnesium is a mixed solution containing lithium, sodium and potassium; (6) The pharmaceutical waste water of part of synthetic drugs is a mixed solution containing lithium and sodium, etc.
The existing lithium, sodium and potassium separation method mainly comprises the following steps: (1) The lithium was concentrated by repeated evaporation to precipitate sodium sulfate and potassium sulfate. The method has the advantages of complex process, high energy consumption and low lithium recovery rate. (2) Lithium is selectively extracted from the mixed solution by solvent extraction, and then purified and concentrated by washing and back extraction. Typical solvent extraction systems are those based on beta diketones and neutral organophosphorus. However, beta-diketones are unstable compounds that interconvert with multiple isomers; meanwhile, beta diketone has low acidity (pKa is approximately equal to 10), and the activity of reaction with lithium is very low, so that the lithium extraction efficiency is low, and the alkali consumption is very large. In addition, beta-diketone is easily decomposed in an alkaline environment, which causes a series of problems such as loss of an extracting agent and emulsification, and the like, so that the extraction process is difficult to stably operate.
In view of the problems of the prior art, the invention provides a solvent extraction system based on carbonyl enol and organophosphorus, which can effectively extract and extract lithium from a lithium-containing solution. The solvent extraction system has high reaction activity, high extraction selectivity, low alkali consumption and energy consumption in the extraction process, stable structure of the extracting agent, repeated recycling and no emulsification and other problems.
