一种碳化法提纯工业Li2CO3过程中连续流碳化反应制备纯 Li2CO3的工艺及装置A kind of carbonization method to purify industrial Li2CO3 Process in continuous flow carbonization reaction to prepare pure Process and device of Li2CO3

技术领域technical field

本发明涉及一种碳化法提纯工业Li2CO3过程中连续流碳化反应制备纯Li2CO3的工艺及装置。The invention relates to a process and a device for preparing pure Li2CO3 by continuous flow carbonization reaction in the process of purifying industrial Li2CO3 by a carbonization method .

背景技术Background technique

Li2CO3是锂的基础性化合物,有多种工业用途,可转化成其他多种锂化合物,广泛应用于锂电池正极材料、医药、航空航天、冶金、焊接、陶瓷、锂合金等领域。随着新能源汽车的发展,电池级Li2CO3的需求和价格仍将不断攀升。Li 2 CO 3 is a basic compound of lithium. It has many industrial uses and can be converted into other lithium compounds. It is widely used in lithium battery cathode materials, medicine, aerospace, metallurgy, welding, ceramics, lithium alloys and other fields. With the development of new energy vehicles, the demand and price of battery-grade Li2CO3 will continue to rise.

目前,工业Li2CO3的制备分为矿石提锂和盐湖卤水提锂两种方式,所得Li2CO3纯度低于高纯电池级Li2CO3(99.5%-99.9%)的标准。对工业级Li2CO3的进一步提纯可得到电池级Li2CO3,目前常用的技术有重结晶法、碳化分解法、碳化沉淀法、苛化法。At present, the preparation of industrial Li 2 CO 3 is divided into two methods: extraction of lithium from ore and extraction of lithium from salt lake brine. The purity of Li 2 CO 3 obtained is lower than the standard of high-purity battery-grade Li 2 CO 3 (99.5%-99.9%). Further purification of industrial-grade Li 2 CO 3 can produce battery-grade Li 2 CO 3 . Currently, commonly used techniques include recrystallization, carbonization decomposition, carbonization precipitation, and causticization.

在现有公开的碳酸锂提纯方法中,碳化分解法因其工艺流程短、母液循环利用、回收率高、操作简单而在工业生产中被广泛应用。具体反应方程如下:Among the existing disclosed lithium carbonate purification methods, the carbonization decomposition method is widely used in industrial production because of its short process flow, mother liquor recycling, high recovery rate, and simple operation. The specific reaction equation is as follows:

碳化反应:Li2CO3(s)+CO2(g)+H2O(l)→2LiHCO3(aq);Carbonization reaction: Li 2 CO 3 (s)+CO 2 (g)+H 2 O(l)→2LiHCO 3 (aq);

热分解反应:2LiHCO3(aq)→Li2CO3(↓)+CO2(g)+H2O(l)。Thermal decomposition reaction: 2LiHCO 3 (aq)→Li 2 CO 3 (↓)+CO 2 (g)+H 2 O(l).

昆明理工大学赵泉峰、江西理工大学温皓、武汉工程大学龚翰章等人的硕士论文研究中均使用了常压碳化分解法来提纯Li2CO3。其常压碳化反应的时间分别为30min、45min、60min,其CO2的消耗量巨大,分别为30eq、88eq、146eq;专利CN110357129A和专利CN115072750A也采用了相同的方式进行碳化反应,其缺点是反应效率低下,能耗过大。Quanfeng Zhao from Kunming University of Science and Technology, Hao Wen from Jiangxi University of Science and Technology, and Gong Hanzhang from Wuhan University of Technology all used carbonization decomposition at atmospheric pressure to purify Li 2 CO 3 . The time of its normal pressure carbonization reaction is 30min, 45min, 60min respectively, and its CO consumption is huge, respectively 30eq, 88eq, 146eq; Low efficiency and excessive energy consumption.

J MATER RES TECHNOL.2020;9(5):9498-9505报道了在反应釜内采用CO2加压微泡辅助碳化反应。该工艺虽然采用了加压的方式进行碳化反应,仍然未能改变反应时间过长(2.0h)和二氧化碳消耗过高的缺点;专利CN209338136U中提出了一种连续的Li2CO3提纯反应釜组。在0.1~0.2MPa的低压下,通过连续五个反应釜(内有布气管道)进行碳化反应,因釜组传质传热性能差的缺点,反应效果并不理想。综合以上研究,在气液固三相的碳化反应中,传统釜式反应器存在比表面积小热交换效率低、气液传质效率有限等缺点,导致了大量CO2无法有效利用而使能耗过高不利于工业化应用。J MATER RES TECHNOL.2020;9(5):9498-9505 reported the use of CO 2 pressurized microbubbles to assist carbonization reactions in reactors. Although this process adopts a pressurized method for carbonization reaction, it still fails to change the shortcoming of too long reaction time (2.0h) and high carbon dioxide consumption; a continuous Li2CO3 purification reactor group is proposed in the patent CN209338136U . Under the low pressure of 0.1-0.2MPa, the carbonization reaction is carried out through five consecutive reaction kettles (with gas distribution pipes inside), but the reaction effect is not ideal due to the shortcomings of the poor mass and heat transfer performance of the kettle group. Based on the above studies, in the gas-liquid-solid three-phase carbonization reaction, the traditional tank reactor has the disadvantages of small specific surface area, low heat exchange efficiency, and limited gas-liquid mass transfer efficiency, which lead to a large amount of CO2 that cannot be effectively used and energy consumption Too high is not conducive to industrial applications.

在采用碳化分解法提纯Li2CO3时,优化碳化反应是一个关键步骤。Li2CO3和CO2在水中的溶解度随温度的降低而降低,但碳化反应属于放热反应(绝热温升在10-13℃之间),受限于传统釜式反应器的缺点,使得反应过程的传质传热性能不足。本发明所提出的装置—微泡立式反应器,利用管式反应器优良的传质传热性能,通过鼓CO2微泡增大相接触面积,加压提高CO2溶解度,在本质上缩短反应时间,降低CO2用量,安全高效地实现LiHCO3溶液的连续化生产。对比釜式生产技术,碳化反应的连续流管式工艺生产能耗小,速率快,效率高。Optimizing the carbonation reaction is a key step in the purification of Li2CO3 by carbonation decomposition. The solubility of Li 2 CO 3 and CO 2 in water decreases with the decrease of temperature, but the carbonization reaction is an exothermic reaction (adiabatic temperature rise between 10-13 ° C), limited by the shortcomings of traditional tank reactors, making The mass and heat transfer performance of the reaction process is insufficient. The device proposed in the present invention—the microbubble vertical reactor, utilizes the excellent mass and heat transfer performance of the tubular reactor, increases the phase contact area by blowing CO2 microbubbles, increases the solubility of CO2 under pressure, and shortens the process in essence. The reaction time is shortened, the amount of CO2 is reduced, and the continuous production of LiHCO3 solution is realized safely and efficiently. Compared with the kettle-type production technology, the continuous-flow tube-type process of carbonization reaction has low energy consumption, fast speed and high efficiency.
