我国粉煤灰富含锂且年产量大, 对其进行开发利用对保障新能源产业可持续发展意义重大。然而, 粉煤灰中的锂品位较低, 且主要赋存于化学性质稳定的玻璃相中, 传统方法难以高效、选择性提取。针对这一技术瓶颈, 本研究提出一种集“活化焙烧-温和碱浸-吸附分离”于一体的多级提锂新策略。首先, 将粉煤灰与硫酸钠混合, 在900 ℃下焙烧2 h, 有效破坏玻璃相中的Si-O-Al键, 使晶格重构, 实现了锂及其载体矿物的热活化转型。随后, 焙砂再经温和碱浸(1 mol·L-1 NaOH、70 ℃、液固比5 : 1)选择性释放锂离子。最后, 利用对锂具有特殊记忆效应的钛酸锂离子筛进行吸附, 实现了锂与杂质的高效特异性分离。新工艺的总锂回收率(Rtotal)达73.20%, 锂与杂质离子的分离系数大于96, 所得净化液经富集后可直接制得纯度为99.02%的磷酸锂产品, 实现了粉煤灰锂资源的精准提纯。本研究为我国巨量粉煤灰的高值化利用及非常规锂资源的开发提供了一条绿色、高效的新思路, 具有重要的工业应用前景。
