Description

A kind of preparation method of brine battery-level lithium carbonate
Technical field
The invention belongs to technical field of inorganic chemical industry, and in particular to a kind of to be prepared by raw material of the richness lithium solution of salt lake bittern The method of brine battery-level lithium carbonate.The brine battery-level lithium carbonate can be used as a kind of for producing lithium ion cell positive material The lithium source of material --- LiFePO4, ternary material.
Background technology
Battery-level lithium carbonate(Li2CO3)It is a kind of important inorganic chemical product.With electronics, the height of electric vehicle industry Speed development, the usage amount of battery-level lithium carbonate increase rapidly.Battery-level lithium carbonate its purity, price and added value are compared with technical grade Lithium carbonate is high.Currently, battery-level lithium carbonate is mainly for the preparation of anode material for lithium-ion batteries(Cobalt acid lithium, ternary material, phosphoric acid Iron lithium etc.).
The production of lithium carbonate withLithiumOre(Spodumene, lepidolite)And brine is raw material.The whole world is produced by raw material of brine Lithium carbonate account for about the 85% of lithium carbonate yield.Since global most salt lake resources are all the low lithium types of high magnesium(Mg/Li is usual For 10-1837), therefore extraction prepares lithium carbonate and there is a problem of that technological difficulty is big from the low lithium of high magnesium old halogen.LITHIUM BATTERY Lithium carbonate is stringent to the quality requirement of lithium carbonate product.The battery-level lithium carbonate that China is produced using ore as raw material, it is desirable that its Li2CO3Content >=99.5%, impurity Pb contents<0.0003%, Ca<0.005%、Mg<0.008%.It is tentatively verified in Qinghai Salt Lake Lithium chloride reserves up to 22,480,000 tons, it is the first to occupy China.To make full use of Qinghai Salt Lake resource, at present usually in the conventional way From salt lake bittern(Mg/Li is than 10~1630)After middle separation and Extraction sodium, potassium, boron and most of magnesium, then respectively in the following manner Produce battery-level lithium carbonate:First, electrodialysis ion-selective membrane isolation technics is used, such as Qinghai Li Ye companies;Second is that utilizing ion Switching technology(Absorption method), such as Qinghai Saltlake Fozhao Lake Lithium Co., Ltd.;Third, carrying out magnesium lithium point using calcination method From such as Investment Co., Ltd of CITIC Guoan.Above-mentioned three kinds of technology paths are used in actual production.From energy consumption, ring Protect etc. considers that ion-selective membrane isolation technics and absorption method separating magnesium and lithium technology are by the old halogen of Qinghai-Tibet salt lake high Mg/Li ratio Prepare the convenient technology of lithium carbonate.
