Comparative example 3

The step S4 specifically comprises the following steps: 300g of deionized water is added into the grinding material, the temperature is raised to 100 ℃, and the grinding material is stirred for 2 hours.

Performance test
(1) The abrasives obtained in step S3 of examples 1 to 6 and comparative examples 1 to 2 were each taken as a sample, and the sample was passed through a 200 mesh sieve, and the 200 mesh sieve residue of the abrasives was calculated, and the detection results are shown in Table 1. And, the lower the mill base 200 mesh screen allowance, the easier the milling, the smaller the sintering.
(2) The leachate obtained in step S5 of examples 1 to 6 and comparative examples 1 to 3 was taken as a sample, and the lithium ion content in the sample was detected by ICP-AES, and the lithium leaching rate was calculated, and the detection results are shown in Table 1.
(3) Lithium carbonate obtained in step S6 of example 1 and examples 7 to 9 was taken as a sample, and the lithium ion content in the sample was detected by ICP-AES, and the purity of lithium carbonate was calculated, and the detection results are shown in Table 1.
TABLE 1 detection results
As can be seen from Table 1, in the method for extracting lithium salt from low-grade lithium ore raw material of the present application, the grinding material 200 mesh screen allowance is 0.83-1.86%, which indicates that the easier grinding, the smaller the occurrence of sintering. Moreover, the lithium leaching rate is 92.32-98.46%, so that the lithium leaching rate is increased, and the lithium carbonate product is further improved. Meanwhile, the purity of the lithium carbonate is 93.45-99.46%, so that the lithium carbonate has good quality and meets the market demand.
Comparing comparative example 1 with comparative example 2, it can be seen that the use of water to press the lithium ore raw material not only does not reduce the 200 mesh screen allowance of the abrasive, but also increases the 200 mesh screen allowance of the abrasive, and also reduces the lithium leaching rate, mainly because the volatilization of water increases the combination of the lithium ore raw material and sulfate, and the occurrence of the sintering aggravation is unfavorable for grinding. In combination with the embodiment 1, the polyvinyl butyral and the absolute ethyl alcohol are used for matching, and the lithium ore raw material and the sulfate are pressed and molded, so that the 200-mesh screen allowance of the grinding material is obviously reduced, and the lithium leaching rate is further increased. In combination with comparative example 3, the lithium leaching rate of the abrasive can be remarkably increased by adopting the combination of sulfuric acid aqueous solution and water.
Comparing example 1 with examples 4-6, it can be seen that, in sulfate, as the 200 mesh screen allowance of the abrasive is increased with the increase of sodium sulfate, the lithium leaching rate is reduced continuously, and when the weight ratio of potassium sulfate to sodium sulfate is 1 (1-3), the lithium leaching rate is more than 95%, and better effect is shown.
Comparing example 1 with examples 7-8, it can be seen that adding an aqueous solution of polyacrylamide and an aqueous solution of disodium edetate to the leachate can significantly increase the purity of lithium carbonate, mainly because polyacrylamide increases the impurity removal effect, disodium edetate chelates calcium ions, and reduces the influence of calcium ions on the quality of lithium carbonate. In combination with example 8, the leaching solution adopts alkali to adjust the pH value once, although the step is saved, the purity of the lithium carbonate is obviously reduced, mainly because part of generated aluminum hydroxide precipitate is dissolved in alkali again, the impurity removing effect is reduced, and the quality of the lithium carbonate is reduced, and also shows that the application adopts alkali to adjust the pH value twice, thereby effectively increasing the quality of the lithium carbonate.
