LITHIUM RECOVERING APPARATUS

摘要

The present invention relates to facilities for adsorbing lithium at the near sea and an apparatus for collecting lithium from sea water by using facilities of extracting the lithium at a cost. The facilities for adsorbing lithium according to the present invention include: a lithium adsorbing unit placed at a near sea to adsorb lithium contained in the sea water; a lithium extracting unit placed at a cost or in a land adjacent to the cost to extract lithium adsorbed by the lithium adsorbing unit to obtain the lithium; and an adsorbed lithium moving unit to move and supply the lithium adsorbing unit having lithium adsorbed therein to the lithium extracting unit. According to another aspect of the present invention, there is provided facilities for adsorbing lithium, which are placed at a near sea to adsorb lithium contained in sea water and include: a high-concentration lithium solution preparing unit located at a near sea to extract lithium adsorbed in the lithium adsorbing unit so that high-concentration lithium containing solution is made; a lithium extracting unit placed at a cost or in a land adjacent to the cost to receive a high-concentration lithium solution obtained by the high-concentration lithium solution preparing unit; and a lithium solution supply unit for supplying the high concentration lithium solution obtained by the high-concentration lithium solution preparing unit to the lithium extracting unit. According to the lithium collecting apparatus of the present invention, a lithium adsorbing process is performed from sea water at the near sea, and the process of collecting the adsorbed lithium is performed at the facilities of the near sea, so that superior economical property can be obtained. In addition, the facilities are slightly affected by the weather conditions, so that the driving time of the facilities is extended and superior safety is represented.
