Abstract
Process for the recovery of lithium from a lithium bearing silicate ore in which a concentrate of the lithium bearing silicate ore is mixed with an alkali metal chloride at a mole ratio of 1 to 7 of lithium ion to alkali metal ion. The mixture is heated at a temperature of 900 to 1300°C and the residue is ground with water free ethanol to thereby selectively remove the lithium ion.
Description
RECOVERY OF LITHIUM FROM A LITHIUM BEARING SILICATE ORE
The present invention relates to the recovery of lithium containing ores and more particularly to the recovery of lithium from lithium bearing silicate ores.
A number of processes have been proposed for the recovery of lithium from ores. For example, treatment of the ore with a strong acid to dissolve the lithium. However, recovery of the lithium values in a pure state is rendered difficult by the co-dissolution of other metals in the ore such as aluminium or iron which acts as contaminants. It is known (US 2893828) to recover lithium from lithium bearing silicates such as spodumene by mixing with an alkali metal halide such as potassium chloride and a refractory material such as silica and heating at a temperature between about 980*C and 1100'C until substantially all of the lithium has been converted to lithium chloride. The lithium chloride is then extracted from the residue by water leaching.
In the process of US 2893838 the product from the reactor is a solid containing potassium spodumene and there is too much residual potassium chloride present for the solid to be fed directly to electrolysis cells for recovery of metallic lithium. In US 2893828 the salts are leached from the reactor solid and the lithium subsequently precipitated as lithium carbonate by the addition of sodium carbonate and then presumably the lithium carbonate is reacted with hydrochloric acid to form lithium chloride. This entails the consumption of sodium carbonate and hydrochloric acid
and the discarding of the resultant waste solution. The present invention involves less reactant consumption and may enable recycling of the salt to the reactor after the extraction of the lithium. Thus according to the present invention there is provided a process for the recovery of lithium from a lithium bearing silicate ore comprising the steps of (a) mixing a concentrate of the lithium bearing silicate ore with an alkali metal chloride at a mole ratio of 1 to 7 of lithium ion to alkali metal ion, (b) heating the mixture at a temperature of 900 to 1300*C, and (c) grinding the residue with water-free ethanol to thereby selectively remove the lithium ion.
The lithium ion (in the form of lithium chloride) may then be separated from the ethanol by, say, evaporation and the ethanol recycled to the grinding stage. The solids coated with ethanol may then be further dried e.g. in a fluidised bed at 100'C and the ethanol also recycled. High purity lithium may then be obtained by a conventional molten salt electrolytic process.
The lithium bearing silicate ore is preferably spodumene of formula Li2θ.AI2O3.4Siθ2- The alkali metal chloride may be either a single salt such as potassium chloride or a mixture of alkali metal chlorides. In the case where the alkali metal is potassium chloride, it is preferred that the ratio of concentrate to potassium chloride has a mole ratio of about 1:2.5 (Li+:K+). The temperature of the process is preferably 950*C to 1200*C at atmospheric pressure and elevated pressures may also be used. The reaction time of step (b) may vary from about 10 minutes to 3 hours.
In an embodiment of the present process, by use of potassium chloride only in the reactor ion exchange step, on cooling the potassium chloride and lithium chloride form a simple eutectic whereas the presence of sodium chloride allows the formation of a sodium chloride/lithium chloride compound. It is therefore much more straightforward to leach lithium chloride from a discrete phase, as in a eutectic, than from a compound. The invention will now be described by way of example only and
with reference to the accompanying drawing.
The lithium bearing silicate ore (spodumene) is ground to a suitable particle size in a ball mill 1 and mixed with an alkali metal chloride in a solids mixer 2. The mixture is passed to a rotary kiln 3 and subjected to heat treatment at about llOO'C. A typical time period for the heat treatment is from 15 to 60 minutes. The alkali metal chloride is usually potassium or sodium chloride but may also be a mixture of chlorides. The solid reacted mixture was then passed to a rotary cooler 4 at about 50*C and thence ground in a ball mill 5.
The ground solid reacted mixture was then passed to an ethanol leach system for treatment with water free ethanol. The system comprises three stirred baths 6 arranged in series, the slurry passing through the baths successively. The product from the final bath consists of two streams, a solution stream of lithium salt (chloride) dissolved in ethanol and a solids stream (wet with ethanol).
The solution stream of lithium chloride in ethanol is passed to a spray drying system 7 in which the ethanol is evaporated off and recovered for subsequent re-use in the process. The resultant lithium chloride solids are then passed to an electrolysis cell 8 to produce the lithium metal.
The ethanol wet solids stream is dried (the evaporated ethanol being subsequently re-used) and subjected to a water leach process in the stirred vessel 9 to recover dry potassium chloride for subsequent re-use in the process from the waste silicate solids using filter 10, crystalliser 11 and dryer 12.
The drawing shows a schematic flowsheet for the recovery of lithium metal from a spodumene concentrate.
