METHOD FOR RECOVERING LITHIUM FROM MOTHER LIQUOR AFTER LITHIUM CARBONATE PRECIPITATION REACTION

A method for recovering lithium from a lithium precipitation mother liquor, the method using the following cycle steps including adsorption, displacement, desorption and transformation: a. mounting a lithium-sodium separation resin in a resin column, and adding the lithium precipitation mother liquor to the resin column for adsorption, wherein the adsorption rate can reach 90% or more; b. after adsorption, washing the resin with water, displacing the resin with a lithium-salt-containing solution to wash out residual sodium from the resin; c. after displacement, desorbing the resin by means of an acid solution to obtain a solution with a high lithium content and a low sodium content, which solution has passed desorption criteria; and d. after desorption, carrying out reverse transformation on the resin by means of a transformation solution in order to ensure that no bubbles appear and then reduce the adsorption effect during the adsorption process. During the cycle, the lithium in the lithium precipitation mother liquor is separated from the solution with a high lithium-to-sodium ratio to obtain the solution with the high lithium-to-sodium ratio.
