Definitions
- TITLE Product comprising a lithium adsorbent Technical area
- the present invention relates to a product comprising a lithium adsorbent and to a method of manufacturing products comprising a lithium adsorbent.
- Brines are sources of lithium, for which an extraction of said lithium is necessary.
- This extraction, or capture can be carried out using columns filled with an active material, which selectively and reversibly captures the lithium when the brine comes into contact with it.
- the lithium is then recovered by passing slightly saline and acidified water through these columns. This results in a concentrated lithium solution which will be purified before a precipitation step, generally in the form of lithium carbonate.
- Lithium adsorbents are materials advantageously used as an active material allowing the production of the concentrated lithium solution within the extraction columns.
- Application KR20190078350 describes various lithium adsorbent materials in a lithium capture application.
- Application WO2018002336 describes a material for capturing lithium of formula (LiCI) x .2AI(OH) 3 , nhhO with x between 0.4 and 1 and n between 0.01 and 10.

- Lithium uptake is accompanied by an increase in volume of the lithium adsorbent material located in the extraction column. Then, when the lithium is subsequently recovered by passing slightly saline and acidified water through said columns, the volume of the lithium adsorbent material decreases. Said material thus undergoes repeated cycles of increase and decrease in volume which can lead to a degradation of its shape and therefore to a decrease in the efficiency of lithium capture.

Then, still with stirring, a solution of 1200 g of sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and 3 liters of demineralized water are added gradually, so as to adjust the pH. The pH reached at the end of the synthesis is equal to 8. The temperature is maintained at 20° C. for the duration of the boehmite precipitation step. Then the boehmite precipitate is washed and filtered using a filter press.

Then, 2500 g of said boehmite precipitate are replumped in 1600 g of demineralised water at ambient temperature, then a solution containing 170 g of LiCl and 16.7 liters of demineralised water is added (which corresponds to a Li/ AI equal to 0.39), the mixture being stirred and heated at 80° C. for 1 hour.
- the mixture thus obtained is cooled to 60° C., then filtered in a filter press so as to obtain a paste.
- the paste thus obtained has the characteristics shown in Table 1 below.
- Said paste is then dried at 50°C in air until it has a water content equal to 50%. Then, 120 g of said dried paste, still at a temperature equal to 50° C., are introduced into a Z-arm mixer. Then 2.38 g of a 10 g/l oxalic acid solution are added to said dough under stirring. A homogeneous mixture is obtained, which is spread on a metal grid with a thickness equal to 1 mm and perforated with circular holes with a diameter equal to 1.5 mm, then scraped with a spatula on each side of the grid. so that said mixture fills the holes of said grid. The grid is then said to be “loaded”.
- the grid is placed under a circulation of hot air at 60°C, which makes it possible to “unload” said grid, the objects formed falling into a container placed under the grid.
- Said objects obtained are in the form of cylinders with an average length equal to 0.8 mm and an average diameter equal to 1.4 mm.
- Example 2 The product of Example 2 (according to the invention) was obtained as follows:
- LiCI is added, so that the molar ratio between the Cl provided by LiCI and GAI present initially in the mixture is equal to 1, the whole is mixed for a time equal to 5 minutes, the temperature being maintained at 25°C.
- the Li/Al molar ratio is equal to 1.5.
- the mixture is then heated using a hot plate, to a temperature equal to 60°C, the time during which said mixture is at a temperature greater than or equal to 50°C being equal to 15 minutes.
- the mixture is then maintained at a temperature equal to 60° C. for a time equal to 45 minutes.
- HCl is added to the mixture, so that the pH of the mixture is lowered to a value equal to 3, the value of the Cl/Al molar ratio in the mixture after addition of HCl being equal to 1.6, the duration of mixing being equal to 15 minutes, and the temperature being maintained equal to 60°C.
- the mixture thus obtained is filtered through a Buchner filter, at ambient temperature (below 50° C.), with filter papers of permeability equal to 2 ⁇ m so as to obtain a paste.
- the time during which the mixture is at a temperature greater than or equal to 50° C. is equal to 5 minutes.
- the paste obtained consists for more than 99% by mass of water, lithiated bayerite, and LiCI.
- a starting charge in accordance with the object of the present invention was produced, formed from a mixture of said paste obtained after filtration and ammonium alginate, the content of said alginate being equal to 1% by mass based on the mass of the starting batch, after drying at 200°C for 16 hours.
- Said paste containing lithiated bayerite and ammonium alginate was mixed in a planetary mixer under hot air created by a heat gun set on a temperature equal to 100° C., for 120 minutes so as to obtain a homogeneous starting charge and having a water content compatible with the shaping technique.
- the starting charge was then spread on a metal grid of thickness equal to 1 mm and perforated with circular holes of diameter equal to 1.5 mm, then scraped using a spatula on each side of the grid of so that said starting charge fills the holes of said grid.
- the grid is then said to be “loaded”.
- the grid is placed under a circulation of hot air at 60° C., which makes it possible to “unload” said grid, the objects formed falling into a container placed under the grid.
- Said objects obtained are in the form of cylinders with an average length equal to 0.8 mm and an average diameter equal to 1.4 mm.
- the desorption step followed by the adsorption step corresponds to a simulation of a lithium adsorption-desorption cycle.
- the product undergoes a total of 10 lithium adsorption-desorption cycles.
- the product of Example 2 does not generate this phenomenon, even after 10 adsorption-desorption cycles of lithium: the aqueous solution of lithium chloride and the brine remain perfectly clear at the end of the desorption stage and at the end of the adsorption stage, respectively.
- the product of Example 2 according to the invention therefore has better resistance to repetitive cycling of adsorption-desorption of lithium than the product of example 1, comparative.
