Abstract:

The process of synergistic extraction of lithium from salt lake brine by tributyl phosphate-ethyl butyrate system was studied by response surface method with volume concentration of TBP,molar ratio of iron-lithium and phase ratio as independent variables and lithium extraction efficiency as response index.The optimal process conditions of the system obtained by response surface method were as follows:the volume concentration of TBP was 43%,the molar ratio of iron to lithium was 1.9 and phase ratio was 2.4.Under these conditions,the predicted value of lithium extraction efficiency was 92.39%,the actual measured valuewas 91.42%,and the relative error between predicted value and measured value was 1.05%.This study could provide a reference for the separation and extraction of lithium from salt lake brine.
