Description

Lithium adsorbent, preparation method thereof and extraction method of lithium ions
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of adsorption materials, in particular to a lithium adsorbent, a preparation method thereof and a lithium ion extraction method.
Background
Lithium and its compounds are widely used in nuclear fusion, ceramic glass, cement, aircraft products, and especially in the lithium ion battery industry. Most of the lithium is extracted from terrestrial minerals. However, the availability of land-based lithium-containing minerals is limited and there is a need to develop alternative lithium sources, such as lithium ions in liquids.
Primary liquid lithium resources are, for example, sea water and salt lake brine, which are practically inexhaustible, estimated to amount to about 2300 hundred million tons. Therefore, development of a method for efficiently extracting lithium from liquid resources is urgent.
Seawater and salt lake brine have many anions and cations coexisting, such as Li + 、Na + 、K + 、Mg 2+ 、Ca 2+ 、Cl - 、Borate,SO 4 2- And plasma anions and cations. In the process of extracting lithium resources, other ions in the salt lake can interfere with the separation of lithium, so that the difficulty of extracting lithium resources is increased. In recent years, many different methods have been explored for extracting lithium ions from seawater and salt lake brine, such as electrodialysis, coprecipitation, solvent extraction, membrane separation, and adsorption methods, among which adsorption has proven to be a particularly useful treatment method.
For example, the currently studied adsorbents are Li/Al-LDHs, li-Mn-O and Li-Ti-O, wherein the advantages of the adsorption capacity and the like of the Li-Mn-O and Li-Ti-O adsorbents are obvious, but the adsorbents cannot be applied on a large scale because the adsorbents are adsorbed in an alkaline environment and desorbed in an acidic environment, and have the problems of high dissolution loss and the like. While the Li/Al-LDHs adsorbent has been industrialized, the problems of low adsorption capacity, high solution loss, boron anion co-adsorption, lithium source synthesis, cost promotion and the like exist.
For example, in some prior art, the aluminum-based lithium adsorbent Li/Al-LDHs is prepared and synthesized in a neutral normal temperature environment or under a reagent heating condition (45-180 ℃) such as urea according to Li/al=1:3-4:1 by using lithium chloride, lithium carbonate, lithium sulfate, lithium nitrate, lithium hydroxide as a lithium source, aluminum chloride, aluminum sulfate, aluminum carbonate, aluminum hydroxide, amorphous aluminum oxide and the like as an aluminum source, and aging, filtering and drying after more than 2-12 hours to obtain a white solid powder lithium adsorbent. The prepared lithium adsorbent also needs to desorb lithium to form a compound with lithium deficiency, so that the adsorbent can be recycled. LiAl-LDHs has low adsorption capacity, high dissolution loss, weak anti-ion (especially boron anions) interference performance, structural change during adsorbent regeneration, high dissolution loss rate and adsorption capacity attenuation.
Therefore, the current situation needs a novel adsorbent with low cost, low dissolution loss, environmental protection, no lithium source preparation and no acid-base desorption.
