Description

Nanometer lithium carbonate and preparation method thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of preparation of lithium carbonate, and particularly relates to nano lithium carbonate and a preparation method thereof.
Background
The industrial use of lithium carbonate is extremely wide, and is often used as a raw material for other lithium salts such as lithium chloride, lithium bromide, lithium molybdate, lithium hydroxide, lithium oxide, and the like; the ceramic material also has wide application in industries such as enamel, special glass, ceramic, porcelain glaze, electronic components, atomic energy industry and the like, and is a necessity for preparing optical materials, magnetic materials, electronic information materials and various fine lithium salts; in addition, lithium carbonate plays an important role in the treatment of mental diseases such as mania.
With the development of the age, 5G and new energy automobiles are popularized, the consumption of secondary batteries is increased day by day, and the consumption of lithium carbonate in the battery industry is greatly increased, so that the lithium carbonate can be used as a raw material for preparing electrode materials of lithium iron phosphate batteries and other lithium battery electrodes, and even the lithium carbonate is not involved in the preparation process of electrolyte, the film forming performance of the batteries can be improved by adding the lithium carbonate in the electrolyte, and the cycle performance and the low-temperature discharge performance of the batteries are improved. The most mature preparation process of the lithium iron phosphate as the battery anode material adopts a solid-phase sintering mode of ferric phosphate, lithium carbonate and an organic carbon source; and whether lithium carbonate, which is one of the raw materials, has low crystallinity and size uniformity, will affect the uniformity of the prepared lithium iron phosphate, the migration rate and diffusion rate of lithium ions, and thus the electrical properties.
The great consumption of lithium source directly brings a series of problems of lithium resource crisis, supply guarantee, environmental destruction and the like, and the development of efficient, green and low-cost waste battery recycling technology is an effective method for solving the serious problems. The traditional recovery process such as wet recovery process, dry recovery process, biological recovery process and the like cannot meet the requirement of recovering and extracting lithium, and secondary pollution and resource waste are often caused in the recovery process. Therefore, it is important to improve the conventional lithium resource recovery process, and to efficiently extract and recover the lithium resource, so that the lithium resource is converted into an industrial nano lithium carbonate source with low crystallinity and uniform size.
CN109942009a discloses a preparation method of battery grade lithium carbonate, which comprises crushing industrial lithium carbonate to 100 mesh, mixing with water to obtain lithium carbonate slurry, introducing into a filler tower, mixing with high purity CO 2 Countercurrent contact is carried out, then the mixture is uniformly mixed with sulfate radical complexing agent, and finally, lithium carbonate is obtained by thermal decomposition in a tower. The method for preparing the lithium carbonate starts from crushing industrial lithium carbonate, reacts in a filler tower to generate lithium bicarbonate, then decomposes the lithium bicarbonate to generate lithium carbonate, realizes a complex process flow for immediately recycling the lithium carbonate finished product in the tower, has high requirement on the filler tower, and the finally obtained lithium carbonate finished product is washed by sodium hydroxide solution with the pH value of 12-12.5 and deionized water for at least twice. The whole process is extremely complicated, the production cost is too high, and the purity of the lithium carbonate can be influenced by the added complexing agent.
CN102408119a discloses a method for preparing lithium carbonate ultrafine powder by adopting a solution reaction crystallization, which mainly comprises the steps of introducing one or more organic reagents of methanol, ethanol, propanol, butanol and acetone into a water-soluble lithium salt system as a reaction solution agent, and then adding a carbonate system or carbon dioxide, so as to crystallize and separate out lithium carbonate. The method is simple to operate, but the alcohol or ketone solvent such as ethanol has the characteristics of inflammability and volatility, and is extremely easy to bring about the problems of danger and environmental pollution. In addition, the secondary nucleation particle size of the lithium carbonate crystal prepared by using the organic solvent is still in the micron level, does not meet the actual requirement of the battery-level lithium carbonate particle size in the nanometer level, can meet the industrial application condition only by post-treatment such as ball milling, and is inconvenient for industrialization.
Therefore, how to further improve the recovery process of lithium carbonate to convert it into nano lithium carbonate with high purity, low crystallinity and uniform size remains a problem to be solved.

Because sodium carbonate, lithium sulfate and lithium carbonate are insoluble in dimethyl sulfoxide and the solubility of the lithium carbonate is minimum, the lithium carbonate can be rapidly separated out after the dimethyl sulfoxide is introduced into a reaction system, and a solvent-out agent dimethyl sulfoxide not only plays a solvent-out role, but also plays a dispersing role on lithium carbonate crystals;
the experimental results show that: the morphology of the lithium carbonate prepared in the example still keeps smaller particle size, and the specific surface area of the lithium carbonate can reach 30 m after the concentration of the sodium carbonate and the lithium sulfate is increased in the comparative example 2 2 Per g, and the size is not changed obviously, the particle size is still kept uniform and is about 50nm, but the crystallinity of the lithium carbonate nano particles is greatly reduced, the recovery yield is greatly improved and is about 98.2%, and the product is washedThe purity after washing and purification can reach more than 95 percent.
In examples 2-4, the carbonate concentration was 0.1-0.4mol/L, i.e., 100-400 mM. The higher the concentration of carbonate, the higher the concentration of carbonate ions, and the higher the supersaturation degree of lithium carbonate after the addition of the solvent-out agent, so that the lithium carbonate is easier to crystallize and precipitate; thus, the concentration of carbonate affects the recovery yield, the greater the carbonate concentration, the higher the recovery yield. However, when the concentration of the carbonate exceeds 0.4mol/L, the addition of the elution reagent brings about impurities such as sodium sulfate, and the purity of the lithium carbonate produced is lowered.

In examples 2 to 4, the concentration of the lithium salt was 0.1 to 0.4mol/L, i.e., 100 to 400. 400 mM. The higher the concentration of lithium salt, the higher the concentration of lithium ions, and the higher the supersaturation degree of lithium carbonate after the solvent is added, so that the lithium carbonate is easier to crystallize and precipitate; thus, the concentration of lithium salt affects the recovery yield, and the greater the concentration of lithium salt, the higher the recovery yield. However, if the concentration of the lithium salt exceeds 0.4mol/L, the addition of the elution reagent brings about impurities such as sodium sulfate, and the purity of the lithium carbonate obtained is lowered. The embodiment of the invention adopts the lithium salt with the concentration of 0.1-0.4mol/L, and is determined by comprehensively considering various factors such as recovery yield, purity and the like. After the concentration of sodium carbonate and lithium sulfate is improved, the recovery yield of lithium carbonate is effectively increased, and meanwhile, the simple process flow and mild reaction conditions are maintained, so that the method is convenient for direct industrialization.

This is because the critical saturated concentration of lithium carbonate at room temperature (20 ℃) is about 0.117mol/L, and under this condition, the actual concentration of lithium carbonate is 0.1mol/L lower than its critical saturated concentration, resulting in failure to precipitate. Therefore, the purpose of effectively recycling lithium carbonate can not be achieved under the condition of not introducing a solvent, and the high-activity nano lithium carbonate with low crystallinity and uniform size can not be prepared.
Comparative example 2
The comparative example provides a method for preparing lithium carbonate by adding ethanol which is a low-polarity solvent, comprising the following steps:
in a 250 mL reaction vessel, a reaction system of sodium carbonate and lithium sulfate with total volume of 100mL was prepared, wherein the concentration of sodium carbonate and lithium sulfate was 0.1 mol/L.
Adding 100mL solvent ethanol into a reaction system of sodium carbonate and lithium sulfate at one time, stirring to uniformly mix the solution, rapidly transferring the solution into a centrifuge tube for centrifugal treatment (the rotation speed is 5000 r/min) after two minutes, pouring out supernatant obtained by centrifugation, collecting precipitate obtained by centrifugation, washing three times with a small amount of deionized water, and finally drying in a vacuum oven at the drying temperature of 40 ℃ for 24h to obtain the nano lithium carbonate.
The experimental results show that: although the low-polarity ethanol is used as the solvent, the lithium carbonate can be separated out, the experimental result shows that the lithium carbonate product obtained by the method has poor uniformity of particle size scale, wide distribution range from hundreds of nanometers to micrometers, small specific surface area (6.0 m) 2 /g) (as shown in fig. 4), does not meet the requirement that battery-grade lithium carbonate is uniform in particle size and nano-grade particles; under the same condition, dimethyl sulfoxide with high polarity is adopted as an organic solvent, so that the catalyst can quickly obtain the catalyst with uniform particle size (about 130 nm) and large specific surface area (22.7 m) 2 And/g) and low crystallinity, completely meets the requirements of battery grade lithium carbonate, and the recovery yield is higher than 93 percent (see table 1). And, the crystallization rate of the lithium carbonate particles obtained by using ethanol as a solvent is slow, the crystallinity is obviously increased (see figure 5), and the recovery yield is obviously low (about 63.8%).
TABLE 1 comparison of lithium carbonate Properties under control with different solventout Agents
Elution agent Recovery yield Particle size Crystallinity degree Specific surface area Crystallization Rate
Ethanol 63.8% Several hundred nanometers to microns High height 6.0 m 2 /g Slow down
Dimethyl sulfoxide 93.2% 130 nm Low and low 22.7 m 2 /g Quick-acting toy
In addition, the ethanol with low polarity is taken as a solvent, has obvious defects of easy volatilization, low boiling point, poor thermal stability and high risk, and is inconvenient for industrialization; and the dimethyl sulfoxide with high polarity is used as a solvent, so that the direct industrialization is facilitated due to the characteristics of low volatility, high boiling point, good thermal stability and high safety.
Fig. 5 of the present invention is an X-ray diffraction pattern (XRD) of lithium carbonate samples prepared in examples 2 and 3 and comparative example 2. The width of the peaks in the XRD pattern is related to the crystallinity of the sample, and the wider the spectrum peak is, the lower the crystallinity of the sample is. The XRD peak widths of the lithium carbonate samples prepared in example 2 and example 3 are different, so the crystallinity is different. Example 2 has a significantly wider XRD peak than comparative example 2, thus indicating that the nano lithium carbonate with low crystallinity cannot be prepared when ethanol is used as a solvent-out agent, and the nano lithium carbonate with low crystallinity can be prepared well when dimethyl sulfoxide is used as a solvent-out agent.
