Wherein lithium leaching rate = (volume of leaching solution containing lithium)/(lithium concentration in leaching solution)/(mass of lithium clay) percent of lithium in lithium clay), wherein lithium content in lithium clay is 0.15%.
As can be seen from the table, the method for extracting lithium from lithium clay adopts the arc heater to extract lithium from clay-type lithium resources, and the method can generate instant high temperature to enable ions to be rapidly exchanged, and finally the leaching rate of lithium is more than 95%. As is evident from comparison of example 1 and example 2, the chloridizing roasting temperature is slightly better at 450 ℃, and the leaching rate of lithium is 96.82%.

In comparative example 2, sodium carbonate is not added, the sodium carbonate directly enters an arc heater, and then leaching is carried out according to a liquid-solid ratio of 3:1, so that the leaching rate of lithium is only 55.62%, and part of lithium ions in comparative example 2 are not replaced, which indicates that sodium carbonate can be exchanged with lithium ions in the arc heater, so that the leaching rate is improved. Comparative example 3 was found to have a leaching effect inferior to that of example 3 in that low-temperature chlorination firing and arc high-temperature firing were not performed, and the leaching rate was only 15.99%.
