Background
With the use of lithium as an important raw material for new energy lithium batteries, the new energy industry of lithium batteries has been developed explosively. Because of the abundant reserves of the lithium ore resources in China, the exploitation and smelting of the lithium ore resources are also unprecedented. However, although the extraction of lithium meets the development requirement of new energy sources of lithium batteries, the development of the lithium batteries has more and more influence on environment and resources with the continuous growth and deep exploitation and smelting. Especially, the influence of the heavy metal elements such as beryllium, thallium and the like on the social environment is not visible in the waste lithium slag generated after the exploitation and smelting of the lithium ores, if the content of the heavy metal elements such as beryllium, thallium and the like in the waste lithium slag is too high after the extraction of lithium by taking lepidolite as a raw material, the waste lithium slag can be converted into dangerous solid waste raw materials to exist, and is not general solid waste, so that the sites, the surrounding environments and the like for piling up the waste lithium slag are greatly damaged. Therefore, the removal of the waste lithium slag after the extraction of lithium or the reduction of the contents of beryllium, thallium and other heavy metal elements is particularly urgent.
The lithium battery industry is also used as a support industry of Yichun, the development and utilization scale of lepidolite is continuously expanded along with the improvement of the output of lithium carbonate in the whole market, the output of lithium carbonate in Yichun is expected to reach 50 ten thousand tons in 2025, and about 1500 ten thousand tons of lithium slag or waste lithium slag are generated at that time. Through detection by related departments, the lithium slag component in the city of China contains various elements such as silicon, rubidium, cesium, sodium, potassium and the like, and is an important material for producing products such as special glass, monocrystalline silicon, phototubes and the like. However, the lithium slag also contains trace beryllium and thallium elements to different degrees due to the inherent components of the lepidolite ore, and often exceeds the standard. And the heavy metals such as beryllium, thallium and the like and the compounds thereof are easy to cause environmental pollution, and have great threat risk to human health. Therefore, the problems of high or low content of beryllium and thallium in the waste lithium slag limit the application of the lithium slag, and harmless treatment of the lithium slag containing beryllium and thallium is needed. However, the prior art has less research on treatment of waste lithium slag containing beryllium and thallium, and is only temporarily stored in a warehouse stacking mode at present, but the temporary storage mode has the problems of large land occupation area, possible secondary pollution and the like. Therefore, the harmless and quantitative reduction treatment is carried out on the beryllium and thallium in the lithium slag containing the beryllium and thallium, so that the environment is not polluted, and the method has important significance for the healthy and benign development of the lepidolite lithium extraction industry.
