Embodiment
In order to preferably explain the present invention, in order to understand, with reference to embodiment, present invention work is retouched in detail State.
The present invention provides a kind of method that elemental lithium selectivity nitric acid leaches in aluminium electrolyte, comprises the following steps:
S1, by containing elemental lithium aluminium electrolyte crush, cross 80-120 mesh sieves sieved, go minus mesh carry out acidleach.
The aluminium electrolyte of selection can be directly from the aluminium electrolyte in electrolytic aluminium factory electrolytic cell or from electricity Aluminium electrolyte raw material in solution aluminium manufacturer electrolytic cell is mixed with additive, and is handled through high-temperature roasting, make in aluminium electrolyte can not Dissolubility lithium salts fully changes into after soluble lithium salt obtained aluminium electrolyte, that is, it is mutually soluble lithium salt to change aluminium lithium salts thing Make the transition electrolyte.
Above-mentioned additive selects alkali metal oxide in addition to lithium, alkali metal can be changed under the conditions of high-temperature roasting The alkali metal oxysalt in addition to lithium of oxide, the one or more in the alkali halide in addition to lithium, according to adding Add the different of lithium salt content in the species of agent, the molecular proportion of aluminium electrolyte and aluminium electrolyte to carry out batch mixings, and meet following bar Part:Ensure the alkali metal fluoride, addition that the aluminium electrolyte alkali metal fluoride, the additive that contain directly add in mixed material The molar ratio of alkali metal fluoride three that agent can change under the conditions of high-temperature roasting and aluminum fluoride (that is, (LiF+NaF+KF)/ AlF3>3) it is more than 3.By mixed material compacting or briquetting, 3-5h is roasted at 300~1200 DEG C, aluminium electrolyte in roasting process Middle insolubility lithium salts changes into soluble lithium salt.
Wherein, the mixture of the one or both in sodium oxide molybdena, potassium oxide may be selected in the alkali metal oxide in addition to lithium.

S2, mix industrial nitric acid with water, and the pH value for adjusting acid solution is less than 4, and current potential is between 0.015-0.8V.
Water can preferred distilled water, new impurity element can be reduced and be introduced into solution, so that the leaching to elemental lithium Have an impact.
S3, by step S1 processing after aluminium electrolyte be added in the acid solution that step S2 is obtained, stir and heat Under the conditions of leached.Because there is very big fluctuation, mainly LiF contents (3-8%) and in electrolyte in electrolyte ingredient The additive added during transition is also different, and therefore, the addition of aluminium electrolyte is according to fluorinion concentration in solution and acidity synthesis Control, wherein, leaching process controls electrolyte acidity to be less than 4 for pH value, and fluorinion concentration is more than 1g/L, preferably 1-80g/L, together When monitor solution potential change.The reaction temperature of mixed liquor is controlled between 20-85 DEG C, preferably 30-80 DEG C.
In leaching process, using magnetic stirrer mixed liquor, mixing speed is unlimited, as long as can make aluminium electrolyte Uniformly mixed with acid solution, to promote the elemental lithium dissolution in aluminium electrolyte.The pH value of mixed liquor is controlled using acidometer, Using the fluorinion concentration of fluorinion concentration selection electrode control mixed liquor.PH value should be less than 5 at the end of reaction, fluorinion concentration It should be greater than 1g/L.Different, the suitable nitric acid of appropriate supplement addition is formed according to material.
S4, after reaction, the mixed liquor after reaction is filtered, repeatedly (at least two or three times) is washed, is reacted First-time filtrate and a filtrate afterwards.
Filtering can be by dissolved with a large amount of lithium salts, the acid solution of minimal amount of aluminium electrolyte component and aluminium electrolyte other compositions The sediment separation of composition.Using distilled water repeated washing two or three times, the lithium salts of recycling high added value is can extract, while is obtained pure Spend high aluminium electrolyte.
S5, first-time filtrate are used to extract elemental lithium, and a filtrate is washed, dry, return to electrolytic aluminium factory and are used for aluminium electricity Matter production is solved, and/or, return in leaching process.
Filtrate can return to electrolytic aluminium factory after distillation water washing, drying and produce aluminium electrolyte as raw material, The leaching process that salpeter solution leaches elemental lithium, repeatedly circulation, so as to improve the rate of recovery of elemental lithium can be returned.
Different from the existing method for all being leached all components in aluminium electrolyte using salpeter solution, the present invention passes through control Current potential, pH value and the fluorinion concentration of relieving haperacidity solution, only by the Li in aluminium electrolyte2O, LiF and Li3AlF6Leached Deng lithium salts, and Other components in aluminium electrolyte is dissolved out or is leached seldom, realize the separation of lithium salts and bulk of the electrolyte, so as to have Elemental lithium in effect extraction aluminium electrolyte, makes the recycling of lithium salts in aluminium electrolyte be provided with the possibility of reality, viable economically, real Recycling high added value lithium salts is showed, while can obtain the higher industrial electrolysis matter suitable for Aluminum Electrolysis Production of purity, substantially reduced The energy consumption and synthesis of Aluminum Electrolysis Production averagely extract expense, are adapted to carry out application in the industrial production.
Raw material used in the present invention is the common raw material of chemical field, and cheap, flow of the invention is simple, passes through Control fluorinion concentration, current potential and the pH value of leaching process solution, it is possible to achieve Selectively leaching (the LiF dissolutions that lithium salts converts into Rate is in 78-99%, and 10%) electrolyte dissolution rate is less than, reduce production cost, and may separate out many kinds of substance, and obtained material is pure Degree is higher.
Purpose of the present invention based on elemental lithium in extraction aluminium electrolyte, is successfully worked out and is carried using nitric acid Selectively leaching The method for taking elemental lithium in aluminium electrolyte, solves the problems, such as elemental lithium influence for aluminium electroloysis industry, also increases benefit, improve The level of aggregation of China's aluminium electrolytic industry, while expand China's lithium salts resource provision.
