Abstract: Traditional methods for producing lithium carbonate involves thermal precipitation of a lithium sulfate purification liquid and a sodium (potassium) carbonate purification liquid to produce crude lithium carbonate to the production of a refined lithium carbonate wet product. The employment of “reverse feeding, non-circulating mother liquor”, “pre-precipitation supplementary impurity removal” and “high-efficiency desorption” can reduce industrial grade lithium carbonate sulfate anions to 0.03%, increase the main content to 2.5N, reduce battery grade sulfate anions to 0.008%, and stably increase the main content to 3N, or even reach the limit of 3.5N-4N. The high-efficiency desorption involves thermal precipitation with small temperature increases and thermal stirring washing, medium-high temperature strong desorption, and hydrocyclone separation.
