And the lithium loss rate is 1.31-1.33% when the extraction organic solvent is washed by the sodium chloride solution, so that the lithium loss rate is low. Meanwhile, the three-stage back extraction of sulfuric acid solution is matched, the lithium back extraction rate is 93.32-97.85%, the good lithium back extraction rate is maintained, the lithium recovery rate is further increased, and the market demand is met.
Tributyl phosphate is added into the raw material of the iron-carrying sodium extractant of the comparative example 1; adding diethyl nitrilophosphate into the iron-carrying sodium extractant raw material of comparative example 2; the iron-carrying sodium extractant raw material of comparative example 3 is added with tetrabenzyl phosphate; the raw materials of the iron-sodium-carrying extractant of example 1 were added diethyl nitrilophosphate and tetrabenzyl phosphate. Comparing example 1 with comparative example 1, it can be seen that the addition of diethyl nitrile phosphate and tetrabenzyl phosphate simultaneously to the sodium iron-carrying extractant raw material significantly increases the lithium extraction rate by utilizing the synergy between the two.
In step S3 of comparative example 4, the extracted organic solution was washed with water; the extracted organic solution was washed with sodium chloride solution in step S3 of example 1.
