Description

Method for extracting lithium from clay-type lithium ore
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of lithium extraction from lithium ores, in particular to a method for extracting lithium from clay-type lithium ores.
Background
Lithium is an important strategic metal for energy sources, and is widely applied to the fields of new energy sources, nuclear energy, medical treatment, ceramics and the like at present, and is known as white petroleum. Based on the importance of lithium, the development of lithium in the future will also be of great interest. Current lithium resources can be divided into three types, one being hard rock, such as spodumene, lepidolite, petalite and phospholitite; the other is a salt lake brine lithium resource; the last one is clay-type lithium ore. The lithium resources developed and utilized at present are mainly hard rock type and salt lake brine type lithium resources. However, with the increasing demand for lithium resources, the development and utilization of clay-type lithium resources have been attracting attention.
At present, the method for treating clay-type lithium ores mainly comprises an auxiliary agent roasting method, an alkaline method and an acid method. The auxiliary agent roasting method has high lithium extraction energy consumption, and impurities can be introduced, so that the subsequent impurity removal cost is increased; the alkaline method has high requirements on equipment required for extracting lithium. Compared with the auxiliary agent roasting and alkaline methods, the acid method can effectively extract lithium from clay lithium ore under relatively simple and mild conditions. However, in the leaching of clay lithium ores using acidsIn the process of lithium extraction, the acid consumption is huge, and Fe in clay lithium ore is leached out 3+ And Al 3+ And is correspondingly leached. Therefore, it is often necessary to remove Fe from the clay lithium ore pickle liquor 3+ And Al 3+ . The conventional removal method is to use a large amount of alkali solution (such as NaOH solution) to adjust the pH to make Fe 3+ And Al 3+ Respectively forming amorphous Fe (OH) 3 And Al (OH) 3 And (5) precipitation. However, when Fe in pickle liquor 3+ And Al 3+ At higher concentrations, a simple adjustment of the pH of the pickling solution causes a very high nucleation rate, which leads to the formation of fine and light Fe (OH) 3 And Al (OH) 3 And (5) colloid. These fine colloidal particles can be suspended in a solution for a long time due to brownian motion, and are difficult to separate by gravity settling. Moreover, since the particles are too fine, the filtration takes a long time and consumes a lot of energy, which is not industrially valuable. More importantly, the resulting colloidal particles will absorb a significant amount of lithium, resulting in a significant amount of lithium loss, and this absorbed lithium cannot be washed away by deionized water, indicating that lithium loss is not caused by entrainment but by the unique adsorption of lithium by the colloid. Aiming at the unique adsorption characteristic of the colloid particles on lithium, researchers innovatively utilize the generated colloid to fully adsorb lithium, and then bake the obtained adsorption slag to ensure Fe (OH) 3 And Al (OH) 3 Conversion of colloid into water-insoluble Fe 2 O 3 And Al 2 O 3 Then water leaching is carried out to realize lithium and Fe 3+ 、Al 3+ Is separated from the other components. However, due to the Fe (OH) formed 3 And Al (OH) 3 The colloid is fine and light, and the solid-liquid separation process performed after lithium is fully absorbed takes a long time and consumes a large amount of energy, and the subsequent secondary roasting process also consumes energy, which is unfavorable for industrial production.
Accordingly, there is a need to provide a method for removing Fe from a pickling solution while ensuring excellent filtering performance and minimal lithium loss 3+ And Al 3+ And finally, concentrating and carbonizing the pickle liquor to prepare the battery grade lithium carbonate with the yield and purity meeting the requirements.

When the pH value of the system is 4.5, aluminum ions in the solution can form aluminum hydroxide colloid, so that a great amount of lithium is lost, and when the pH value of the system is 3.0, the reaction is unfavorable to the direction of generating sodium alunite, so that the removal rate of aluminum is reduced.
According to a specific embodiment of the invention, the iron-removing filtrate obtained in the step (3) is added into a reaction vessel, a certain amount of sodium sulfate solution is added, then the oil bath is heated to a set temperature, timing is started, a pH meter is continuously used for monitoring the pH of the system in the reaction process, sulfuric acid is generated in the reaction process, and alkali liquor is used for stabilizing the pH of the system to a certain value.

Sulfuric acid is produced during the reaction, so that alkali lye is required to neutralize the excess sulfuric acid. The alkali solution can be NaOH solution, caCO 3 Suspensions, ammonia or calcium oxide suspensions, preferably CaCO 3 The concentration of the alkali liquor in the suspension is 15wt%. The pH of the system during the reaction is adjusted to 3.0 to 4.5, preferably 3.5 to 4.0, more preferably 3.5. The temperature required for the reaction is preferably 90 ℃.

Table 1 comparison of total removal rate of iron and aluminum, total loss rate of lithium, hydrolysis rate of iron and aluminum in each of examples and comparative examples
In conclusion, compared with the traditional method for adjusting the pH value of the pickle liquor by using alkali liquor, amorphous Fe (OH) is generated 3 And Al (OH) 3 The colloid precipitation to remove iron and aluminium is carried out by adding Na into pickle liquor 2 SO 4 To provide the sodium source required to produce the sodium alum and sodium alunite, respectively, by controlling the pH, sodium alum and sodium alunite precipitate are formed. The precipitate obtained by the method has higher crystallinity and better filterability, not only achieves the purpose of removing iron and aluminum in the pickle liquor, but also does not cause lithium loss in the precipitation process, improves the concentration of lithium-rich solution, and simultaneously reduces energy consumption because secondary roasting is not needed.
In comparative example 1, naOH solution was used as a pH adjustor, compared with CaCO 3 The suspension, naOH solution is more alkaline and reacts rapidly, resulting in insufficient reaction, thereby reducing the removal rate of iron and aluminum. However, at the optimum reaction temperature and pH, the reaction products remain sodium-iron-yellow alum and sodium alunite, resulting in little lithium loss.
In comparative example 2, since the pH was adjusted to 3.2 to 3.5 directly using NaOH solution, iron hydroxide colloid was formed and lithium loss was caused; and then adding NaOH solution into the iron-removing filtrate to adjust the pH to 5-7, thus obtaining lithium-rich aluminum hydroxide colloid precipitate, and roasting and leaching the precipitate, thus correspondingly increasing energy consumption.
