    摘要: The present invention relates to a method for recovering lithium from brine, and provides a method for recovering lithium from brine, the method comprising: (a) an impurity removal step of adding a carbonate supply source to brine including lithium, magnesium and calcium to precipitate and remove magnesium and calcium impurities; (b) a pH adjusting step of adding an acid to the brine from which the impurities have been removed, to adjust the pH of the brine; (c) a lithium-aluminum compound recovery step of adding an aluminum supply source to the pH-adjusted brine to recover a lithium-aluminum compound; (d) a lithium sulfate and aluminum oxide formation step of adding the lithium-aluminum compound to a sulfur supply source and calcining same to form lithium sulfate and aluminum oxide; and (e) a lithium sulfate solution yield step of selectively dissolving lithium sulfate from among the formed lithium sulfate and aluminum oxide to yield a lithium sulfate solution.

    摘要: The present invention provides a method for selective recovery of a valuable metal from a waste denitrification catalyst through alkali fusion, the method comprising the steps of: (a) adding an alkali metal to a waste denitrification catalyst, followed by mixing and alkali fusion, to generate a calcination product; (b) subjecting the calcination product to water-leaching to recover an alkali leachate and a residue; (c) adding a precipitator to the alkali leachate, followed by stirring, to recover calcium metavanadate (Ca(VO3)2) or calcium tungstate (CaWO4) through precipitation; and (d) subjecting the recovered calcium tungstate to acid decomposition to prepare tungstic acid. Therefore, vanadium and tungsten can be recovered at high efficiency by a method in which a precipitator is added to a leachate, which is obtained by adding an excess amount of an alkali metal to a waste denitrification catalyst and carrying out calcination and water-leaching, and then a reaction rate is controlled.

    摘要: The invention relates to a lithium adsorption-desorption apparatus including a plurality of reaction tanks arranged in a row; a guide rail disposed at an upper portion of the reaction tank; a movable driving unit coupled to a moving means that moves along the guide rail; and a reaction housing which is mounted to the driving unit, and can be vertically moved or rotated in a state in which the lithium adsorbent is fixed thereto, and after immersing in the reaction tank, accelerates adsorption or desorption of lithium, and after being lifted, discharges residual solution from the lithium adsorbent by rotation movement.Therefore, the lithium adsorption desorption apparatus can fix a large amount of lithium adsorbent and immerse it in a lithium-containing solution to effectively adsorb lithium and then quickly desorb lithium in a desorption solution, and can efficiently wash the lithium adsorbent in a cleaning solution.
