Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2021094647A1] The present invention relates to an arrangement and a method for recovering lithium hydroxide from a fresh feed comprising a mineral raw material containing lithium or a raw material containing lithium carbonate, or a mixture of these raw mate- rials,combined with a recycled solution and/or slurry containing lithium, by pulping the feed in the presence of water and alkali metal carbonate,leaching the obtained slurry twice, first at an elevated temperature, and secondly in an aqueous solution containing alkali earth metal hydroxide, separating the thus obtained slurry into solids that may be discarded,and a solution containing lithium hydroxide,whereby lithium hydroxide mono hydrate can be recovered from the solution by crystallising, and finally separating the solution and/or slurry obtained during the crystallization from the process and recycling it to one or more previous step, including the pulp- ing step,and optionally the first leaching step.
