PATENT CLAIMS Process for the purification of soln of Li salts contaminated by metallic cations other than Li
- Passing a soln to be purified through an exchange zone
packed with a zeolite adapted to exchange Li cation with
said metallic cation other than Li, said zeolite being initially
loaded with > 95% Li cation & having a better affinity for
said metallic cation other than Li than for Li cation, so as to
fix all the contaminating metallic cation on said zeolite by
displacement of Li cation, whereby the soln of Li salts reco
vered at the outlet of said exchange zone is stripped of said
contaminating metallic cation
- Regenerating said zeolite by replacing the contaminating
metallic cation fixed on said zeolite with Li cation, by a) Con
tacting the zeolite with soln contg ammonium cation, where
by all the metallic cations fixed on said zeolite are displa
ced by ammonium cations; b) Heating the zeolite to 150-
350C, whereby said zeolite is converted to its acid form
giving off ammonia; c) Contacting the acid zeolite with aq
soln of LiOH
