Description

Granular lithium adsorbent and preparation method and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of lithium extraction, and particularly relates to a granular lithium adsorbent and a preparation method thereof.
Background
Lithium is the metal with the smallest density in nature, and is widely applied to the fields of energy, electrons, medical treatment, aviation and the like at present, and is known as industrial monosodium glutamate.
Lithium resources in nature are mainly present in sea water, salt lake brine, granite pegmatite deposits and geothermal water. Therefore, the lithium extraction process is mainly divided into two methods of extracting lithium from brine and extracting lithium from ores. Since the beginning of the 20 th century, ore extraction of lithium is the main method for extracting lithium resources, and high-quality ore sources are almost exhausted through long-term and accumulated mining. The salt lake brine has abundant lithium resources, simple lithium extraction process and lower cost, so the current brine lithium extraction process becomes the mainstream research process.
Although China is a large country of lithium resources, china is also a large country of lithium consumption. Most of domestic salt lake brine has the characteristics of low lithium content and high magnesium-lithium ratio, and great difficulty is brought to the extraction of lithium from the salt lake brine. The current domestic method for extracting lithium from salt lake mainly comprises an adsorption method, a precipitation method, an extraction method, a membrane separation method and the like, wherein the adsorption method is simple in process, energy-saving and environment-friendly, low in cost, suitable for separating and extracting lithium ions from salt lake brine with high magnesium-lithium ratio, and wide in application prospect. The key point of the adsorption method for extracting lithium is to prepare the adsorbent with high selectivity and high adsorption capacity, which mainly comprises an ion sieve adsorbent and an aluminum adsorbent. However, since these adsorbents are all in powder state after synthesis, they cannot be directly applied to conventional equipment such as fixed bed for adsorption-desorption lithium extraction. Therefore, the development of the granular porous adsorbent with commercial application value has important significance for the development of future lithium resources.
Disclosure of Invention
In view of the above background, the present invention aims to solve at least one of the disadvantages of the prior art, in order to overcome the problems of poor permeability and fluidity of the powdery lithium ion adsorbent and small pores of the existing granular adsorbent. For example, one of the objects of the present invention is to provide a method for preparing a granular lithium adsorbent, which has a simple process and easy operation, and can increase the adsorption capacity and adsorption rate of the granular lithium adsorbent. For another example, another object of the present invention is to provide a granular lithium adsorbent corresponding to the above preparation method, where the granular lithium adsorbent has high strength and good toughness, and is not easy to break and pulverize when being loaded into an adsorption tower.

weighing rutile TiO according to the mol ratio of 1:2.1 2 And LiOH, adding into a stainless steel ball grinding tank, adding acetone 1.5 times the solid mass and ball-grinding steel balls 4mm 25 times the solid mass into a ball-grinding tank, ball-grinding for 3 hours at 400rpm by using a planetary ball mill, drying at 50 ℃, putting into a muffle furnace, and air-conditioning at 850 DEG CRoasting for 6 hours in atmosphere, cooling, and eluting for 24 hours by using 0.1mol/L HCl to obtain a lithium ion sieve adsorbent;
atomizing pretreatment to obtain a granular lithium adsorbent:
mixing and dissolving polyethylene glycol, N-N dimethylacetamide and potassium nitrate according to a mass ratio of 2:10:1 to obtain a polymer solution; adding a lithium ion sieve adsorbent accounting for 28% of the mass percentage of the N-N dimethylacetamide, and uniformly mixing to obtain a uniform mixture; adding deionized water into a cold mist humidifier to prepare an atomized liquid drop atmosphere (the consumption of atomized liquid drops is 20 g/h), and dropwise adding the uniform mixture into the deionized water (the mass ratio of the deionized water to the uniform mixture is 10:1) under the atomized liquid drop atmosphere by using a peristaltic pump with a hose with the inner diameter of 1.6mm to perform non-solvent induced phase separation to form solid particles; wherein the flow rate of the uniform mixture in the hose is 0.2ml/min; the atomization time of the mixture droplets is about 10 seconds, and the time of non-solvent induced phase separation is 30 minutes; and after the non-solvent induced phase separation process is finished, taking out the solid particles, and drying at 40 ℃ to obtain the granular lithium adsorbent A4 with the particle size of about 4 mm.
The adsorption experiment of lithium ions in simulated brine was performed using the obtained granular lithium adsorbent A4, and the results are shown in table 1.
Example 5
The procedure was the same as in example 1 except that the flow rate of the uniform mixture in the hose was set to 0.4ml/min, the atomization time of the mixture droplets was about 5 seconds, and a lithium ion sieve adsorbent A5 having a particle diameter of about 4mm was obtained. The obtained lithium ion sieve adsorbent was used for simulating the adsorption experiment of lithium ions in brine, and the adsorption experiment results are shown in table 1.
Example 6
The procedure of example 1 was repeated except that the flow rate of the uniform mixture in the hose was set to 0.7ml/min and the atomization time of the mixture droplets was about 3 seconds, to obtain a lithium ion sieve adsorbent A6 having a particle diameter of about 4 mm. The obtained lithium ion sieve adsorbent was used for simulating the adsorption experiment of lithium ions in brine, and the adsorption experiment results are shown in table 1.
Comparative example 1
Except that the atomization pretreatment was not performed, the procedure was the same as in example 1, to obtain a lithium ion sieve adsorbent B1 having a particle diameter of about 4 mm. The obtained lithium ion sieve adsorbent was used for simulating the adsorption experiment of lithium ions in brine, and the adsorption experiment results are shown in table 1.
Comparative example 2
Except that the atomization pretreatment was not performed, the procedure was the same as in example 2, to obtain a lithium ion sieve adsorbent B2 having a particle diameter of about 4 mm. An adsorption experiment simulating lithium ions in brine was performed with the obtained lithium ion sieve adsorbent B2, and the adsorption experiment results are shown in table 1.
The adsorbent products prepared in examples 1-4 and comparative examples 1-2 were put into simulated brine for adsorption experiments, and the adsorption capacity Q was calculated according to the adsorption capacity calculation formula, and the results are shown in Table 1.
According to table 1, comparing the adsorption performance results of the adsorbent products A1 and B1 and the adsorbent products A2 and B2, it can be seen that the adsorption effect of the granular ion adsorbent without atomization pretreatment is poor, and the adsorption effect of lithium after atomization is significantly increased; comparing the adsorbent products A1, A5 and A6, it can be seen that the adsorption effect of the particulate ion adsorbent increases stepwise as the flow rate of the homogeneous mixture is lower, i.e. the atomization pretreatment time increases.
The adsorbent products prepared in examples 1 to 4 and comparative examples 1 to 2 were tested for specific surface area and the results are shown in Table 2.
From table 2, the specific surface area test results of the comparative adsorbent products A1 and B1 and the adsorbent products A2 and B2 show that the specific surface area of the granular ion adsorbent without the atomization pretreatment is smaller, and the specific surface area of the granular ion adsorbent after the atomization is greatly improved. It can be seen by comparing the specific surface areas of A1, A5, A6 that the specific surface area is greater as the flow rate of the homogeneous mixture is lower, i.e. the atomizing pretreatment time is longer.
