The development of lithium extraction from salar brine has been a hot topic in the industry in recent years. As the price of lithium metal continues to rise, the global demand for lithium metal has increased, making more and more enterprises want to carry out this project. However, how to effectively extract lithium metal, related process technology and equipment are very important. Because the magnesium-lithium ratio in brine is high, it greatly increases the difficulty of extraction and separation. Therefore, choosing a good extraction method and equipment is crucial for enterprises.

With the development of technology, a large amount of experimental data shows that the new green lithium extraction process can meet the development requirements of enterprises. This process method is solvent extraction. Solvent extraction uses the special extraction performance of organic solvents on lithium to achieve the purpose of magnesium-lithium separation, and improves the extraction rate of lithium through continuous multi-stage extraction. The equipment supporting this process is the CWL-M centrifugal extractor. This is a green lithium extraction process and equipment developed by Zhengzhou Tiei Extraction after years of research to address the problems existing in the current solvent extraction of lithium.

Advantages of green lithium extraction process solvent extraction method

  1. The process is simplified and easy to operate.
  2. The raffinate is easy to handle.
  3. The extraction efficiency is high and the product purity is high.

Lithium Extraction Equipment CWL-M Centrifugal Extractor

CWL-M centrifugal extractor is a new, fast and efficient liquid-liquid extraction and separation equipment. It is different from traditional extraction equipment such as mixer settlers and extraction towers in terms of working principle. The centrifugal extractor uses a motor to drive the drum to rotate at high speed. Two liquids with different densities and immiscible with each other complete the mixing and mass transfer under the shear force generated by the rotation of the drum or blades, and are quickly separated under the centrifugal force generated by the high-speed rotation of the drum.

CWL-M centrifugal extractor equipment advantages

  1. Simple and stable structure: no bottom bearing and mechanical seal in the processing area, no risk of leakage, and saves maintenance costs.
  2. High efficiency and energy saving: large processing capacity, energy saving, power consumption is only 1/10~1/3 of the traditional type.
  3. Good corrosion resistance: It can resist corrosion from strong acids (hydrochloric acid, mixed acids, etc.).
  4. Good applicability: It can be applied to a variety of systems.
  5. High automation environment and good operating performance.

The conditions of salar brine in different regions are different, and the selected processes will be slightly different, so there is no unified standard and it needs to be designed according to the actual situation. For more details about CWL-M centrifugal extractor, please contact us.
