The invention belongs to the technical field of material preparation and separation, and relates to preparation of
lithium /
rubidium ion adsorbing materials, in particular to a preparation method and application of a modified hollow mesoporous
silicon sphere adsorbent. Hollow mesoporous
silicon spheres (HSs) are synthesized, a
manganese-based
lithium ion sieve (HMO) is supported on the surface of the hollow mesoporous
silicon spheres (HS), and finally, 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTES) is modified to form the modified hollow mesoporous silicon sphere adsorbent. Synthetic process steps are simple, the prepared micro-nano hollow mesoporous silicon spheres have the advantages of large specific surface area, modifiable surface hydroxyl, good mono-
dispersity, good particle size and duct size adjustability and the like, the surface of the micro-nano hollow mesoporous silicon spheres with a high specific surface is modified, and the adsorbing capacity of the materials is greatly improved. The
manganese-based
lithium ion sieve and the APTES are compounded with the micro-nano hollow mesoporous silicon spheres to obtain the modified hollow mesoporous silicon sphere adsorbent with unique physical and chemical properties, and lithium /
rubidium ions can be efficiently adsorbed and separated in a high-selectivity manner.
