Provided is a method for producing lithium hydroxide that enables an increase in the purity of the obtained lithium hydroxide. This method for producing lithium hydroxide comprises a lithium adsorption step, a lithium elution step, an impurity removal step, and a conversion step. The impurity removal step comprises: a carbonation step (3A) : a step for obtaining a crude lithium carbonate by the addition of a carbonate source to a second lithium-containing solution; a bicarbonation step (3B) : a step for obtaining a lithium bicarbonate solution by blowing carbon dioxide into a slurry containing the crude lithium carbonate; a decarbonation step (3C) : a step for obtaining purified lithium carbonate by heating the lithium bicarbonate solution; and an acid solution dissolution step (3D) : a step for obtaining a third lithium-containing solution by dissolving the purified lithium carbonate in an acid solution. According to this embodiment, metals other than lithium can be reliably removed and as a consequence the purity of the resulting lithium hydroxide can be increased.
A simulation device for analyzing behavior of a granular material that includes a plurality of particles includes a first parameter acquisition unit that acquires a first parameter including a parameter relating to the granular material, a second parameter calculation unit that calculates a second parameter, when a particle group including the plurality of particles is coarsely viewed as a single coarse-view particle, the second parameter relating to the coarse-view particle, and a coarse-view particle behavior analysis unit that analyzes a behavior of the coarse-view particle based on the first parameter and the second parameter. The second parameter calculation unit calculates the second parameter by solving a characteristic equation that uses a relationship between an elastic energy of the particle group and an elastic energy of the coarse-view particle.
A method is provided which enables selectively leaching nickel and/or cobalt from an alloy that contains copper and nickel and/or cobalt in a waste lithium ion battery. This alloy processing method involves obtaining a solution that contains nickel and/or cobalt from an alloy that contains copper and nickel and/or cobalt, wherein the alloy processing method involves a leaching step for adding an acid solution to the alloy in a state in which a sulfurizing agent is also present, and obtaining a leachate and a leaching residue by performing leaching processing while controlling the redox potential (the reference electrode being a silver / silver chloride electrode) to at least 100mV and less than 250mV. In the leaching processing in the leaching step, an operation is performed that temporarily decreases the redox potential to less than or equal to -100mV.
A method for producing lithium hydroxide that allows reducing a load of removing divalent or more ions with an ion-exchange resin is provided. The method for producing lithium hydroxide includes steps (1) to (3) below. (1) a neutralization step: a step of adding an alkali to a first lithium chloride containing liquid to obtain a post-neutralization liquid, (2) an ion-exchange step: a step of bringing the post-neutralization liquid into contact with an ion-exchange resin to obtain a second lithium chloride containing liquid, and (3) a conversion step: a step of electrodialyzing the second lithium chloride containing liquid to obtain a lithium hydroxide containing liquid. Since this producing method allows roughly removing divalent or more ions in the neutralization step, a load of metal removal with the ion-exchange resin is reducible.
