Description

Spodumene smelting slag recycling comprehensive utilization system
Technical Field
The utility model relates to the technical field of solid waste recycling treatment for extracting lithium from ores, in particular to a spodumene smelting slag recycling comprehensive utilization system.
Background
The spodumene smelting slag is solid waste for extracting lithium from ores, the spodumene extracting lithium process is a current mature ore extracting lithium process, natural spodumene is roasted at 950-1100 ℃ to be converted into tetragonal beta-spodumene from monoclinic alpha-spodumene, and due to the crystal form conversion, the physical and chemical properties of minerals are obviously changed along with the change of crystal structures, so that the chemical activity is increased, and various reactions can be carried out with acid and alkali. In the lithium extraction process of spodumene, partial lithium is often unavoidable to remain in lithium slag, and the secondary recycling value of lithium in solid waste resources is fully excavated, so that the method has important significance.
The main chemical component in spodumene smelting slag is SiO 2 And Al 2 O 3 Mainly aluminosilicate and quartz, and secondly gypsum, little spodumene and iron mineral, and detecting SO in the lithium slag raw material 3 The content is 3 to 8 percent, fe 2 O 3 The content of Li is 0.8 to 1.2 percent 2 O content 0.3-0.6% (TaNb) 2 O 5 The content is 120-180 ppm, and the valuable metal lithium and tantalum-niobium have comprehensive recycling value.
In the process for producing lithium salt by spodumene, about 8-10 tons of lithium slag are discharged when one ton of lithium salt is produced, and a large amount of lithium slag can be produced according to the discharge amount, so that not only is the land resource wasted caused by stacking, but also the storage is poor, and the slag water containing alkali and acid is lost, so that farmland is harmed and the environment is polluted. At present, the comprehensive utilization of the lithium slag is mainly applied to the cement building material industry, the added value is low, a small amount of lithium, tantalum-niobium metal and gypsum are not recycled, and meanwhile, along with the explosive growth of the lithium slag quantity, the consumption of the lithium slag in the cement building material industry is close to saturation, so that the problem of the consumption of the lithium slag becomes a problem to be solved in the future.
The utility model patent with publication number of CN110015855A discloses a treatment method of lithium slag, wherein the leaching rate of lithium, rubidium, cesium, potassium, aluminum and sodium is over 88% by carrying out sulfuric acid leaching on lithium slag extracted from lepidolite, the main components in the obtained acid leaching slag are quartz and gypsum, and the quartz and gypsum can be used as concrete admixture for secondary use. Although valuable elements such as lithium in the slag are recovered, the recovery cost is relatively high, more solid slag or waste liquid is easy to cause, a certain environmental protection risk is provided, the problem of the digestion of the lithium slag is not substantially solved, and most of the lithium slag can still be used as an admixture of cheap cement building materials.
The utility model patent with publication number of CN114702048A discloses a recycling process of solid waste of lithium slag, and products such as potassium sulfate, sodium sulfate, lithium carbonate, cesium carbonate and rubidium carbonate are obtained by respectively carrying out acid-base reaction on the lithium slag. The process is complex, the cost is high, hydrofluoric acid is also required to be introduced, environmental pollution is easy to cause, most of solid matters which are insoluble in acid in the lithium slag are used as building materials only, and the recycling treatment of the lithium slag cannot be really realized.
The utility model patent with publication number of CN113621811A discloses a method for recycling tantalum and niobium from spodumene slag, which has the technical precondition that a small amount of waste acid is required to be added to ensure that the pH value of slag slurry is 4-5, equipment is easy to corrode, and certain environmental protection risk is provided.
The utility model patent with publication number of CN114226413A discloses a comprehensive treatment process of lithium slag, which comprises the steps of adopting processes of ore grinding, magnetic separation, flotation, alkali conversion and the like to obtain silicon-aluminum micro powder, wherein the spodumene smelting slag is generally finer in fineness, the process does not carry out classified ore grinding on the lithium slag, and sulfur in the micro powder is reduced by adopting a mode of adding sodium carbonate or potassium carbonate for alkali conversion, so that ore grinding cost and desulfurization cost are higher; although the process can also obtain the silicon-aluminum micropowder for glass fiber, valuable metal lithium and gypsum in the lithium slag are not reasonably recovered, and the recycling treatment of the lithium slag is difficult to realize in a real sense.
The utility model patent with publication number of CN216459396U discloses a system for comprehensively recovering lithium, tantalum and niobium, silicon-aluminum micropowder, iron concentrate and gypsum from lithium slag, achieves the purposes of diversification and high-value utilization of deeply processed products of lithium slag, and can obtain silicon-aluminum micropowder with high silicon, high aluminum, low iron and low sulfur, high-quality gypsum concentrate, iron concentrate, tantalum and niobium concentrate and lithium-rich slag.
