Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of membrane separation technology and also to the field of lithium extraction, and specifically relates to a two-dimensional montmorillonite modified film for extracting lithium from raw brine in salt lakes, a preparation method and an application thereof. Background Art

[0002] Lithium is an important strategic mineral resource and a key resource for the new energy revolution. 80% of my country's lithium resources are stored in salt lake brine, and lithium extraction from salt lakes is an important way to supply lithium resources. Membrane separation is the mainstream process for extracting lithium from salt lake brine. Among them, two-dimensional channel membranes are widely used in the efficient separation of lithium resources in salt lake brine due to their high sub-nanometer precision control characteristics of the channel.

[0003] However, existing thin films focus on extracting lithium from old brine in salt lakes (i.e., first forming old brine by drying brine, extracting potassium, etc., and then extracting lithium after lithium is enriched). The old brine in salt lakes needs to be obtained by drying and evaporating in salt pans, which leads to a long lithium extraction cycle and a high lithium loss rate. By eliminating the process of evaporating the original brine in salt lakes and directly extracting lithium from the original brine before extracting lithium from the old brine, not only can the lithium extraction cycle be greatly shortened, but also the lithium recovery rate can be doubled. However, existing lithium extraction thin films are difficult to adapt to the brine characteristics of low lithium ion concentration of original brine in salt lakes. On the one hand, the low lithium ion concentration leads to insufficient power for lithium ion transmission and low lithium ion transmission rate; on the other hand, under low lithium ion concentration conditions, it is difficult to highly selectively transmit and separate lithium ions. Summary of the invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a two-dimensional montmorillonite modified film for extracting lithium from raw brine in salt lakes and its application. The two-dimensional montmorillonite modified film for extracting lithium from raw brine in salt lakes provided by the present invention stabilizes the channel height of the film by metal ions with strong electrostatic binding, thereby ensuring that lithium ions have a highly selective transmission ability. At the same time, the hydrophilicity of polyphenol hydroxyl groups and the function of specific lithium ion recognition are utilized to enhance the lithium ion transmission power, thereby realizing efficient lithium extraction from raw brine in salt lakes with low lithium ion concentration.

[0005] To achieve the above object, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is:

[0006] The first aspect of the present invention provides a two-dimensional montmorillonite modified film for extracting lithium from raw brine in salt lakes, which is obtained by sequentially modifying a two-dimensional montmorillonite functional film with metal ions and cross-linking with an organic compound containing polyphenol hydroxyl groups. The two-dimensional montmorillonite functional film is obtained by self-assembly of a two-dimensional montmorillonite nanosheet functional suspension modified with a short-chain organic cross-linking agent containing an amino group.

[0007] According to the above scheme, the short-chain organic crosslinking agent containing an amino group is any one of ethyl carbamate, aminoacetic acid, tetraethylenepentamine, triethylenediamine, and aminosulfonic acid, or a combination of at least two thereof.

[0008] According to the above scheme, the thickness of the two-dimensional montmorillonite functional film is 50-2000 μm.

[0009] According to the above scheme, the metal ion is Al 3+ , Fe 3+ , Ca 2+ , Cu 2+ 、Zn 2+ , Mn 2+ Any of;

[0010] According to the above scheme, the polyphenolic hydroxy organic matter is any one of tannic acid, hydroxytyrosol, 3,4,5-trihydroxybenzoic acid, catechin, and lignan, or a combination of at least two of them.

[0011] According to the above scheme, the metal ion modification is as follows: immersing the two-dimensional montmorillonite functional film obtained by self-assembly into an aqueous solution containing metal ions for modification, and washing with water to obtain the metal ion-modified two-dimensional montmorillonite functional film;

[0015] The second aspect of the present invention provides a method for preparing the above-mentioned two-dimensional montmorillonite modified film for extracting lithium from raw halogen in salt lakes, and the specific steps are as follows:

[0016] (1) adding two-dimensional montmorillonite nanosheets and a short-chain organic crosslinking agent containing an amino group into water for stirring and reacting to obtain a two-dimensional montmorillonite nanosheet functional suspension;

[0017] (2) self-assembling a two-dimensional montmorillonite nanosheet functional suspension on a base film to form a film, and the film naturally falls off from the base film after drying, thereby obtaining a two-dimensional montmorillonite functional film;

[0018] (3) immersing the two-dimensional montmorillonite functional film in an aqueous solution containing metal ions for modification, and washing with water to obtain a two-dimensional montmorillonite functional film modified with metal ions;

[0019] (4) Immersing the metal ion-modified two-dimensional montmorillonite functional film in a solution containing polyphenolic hydroxyl organic matter for immersion crosslinking, washing with water and drying to obtain a two-dimensional montmorillonite modified film for raw halogen lithium extraction.

[0020] Preferably, in step (1), the average sheet diameter of the two-dimensional montmorillonite nanosheets is 100-1000 nm, the average sheet thickness is 1-10 nm, and the concentration of the two-dimensional montmorillonite nanosheets in the two-dimensional montmorillonite nanosheet functional suspension is 0.5-3.5 wt %.

[0021] Preferably, in step (1), the short-chain organic crosslinking agent containing an amino group is any one of ethyl carbamate, aminoacetic acid, tetraethylenepentamine, triethylenediamine, and aminosulfonic acid, or a combination of at least two thereof; and the amount used is 0.5%-30% of the two-dimensional montmorillonite nanosheets.

[0022] Preferably, in step (1), the stirring reaction time is 0.1-3h.

[0029] A third aspect of the present invention provides the use of a two-dimensional montmorillonite modified film for extracting lithium from raw brine from salt lakes as a functional membrane for extracting lithium from raw brine from salt lakes.

[0030] According to the above scheme, the application is: using the two-dimensional montmorillonite modified film for extracting lithium from salt lake halogen as a nanofiltration membrane for a pressure-driven nanofiltration membrane system or as an electrodialysis membrane for an electric-driven electrodialysis membrane system to extract lithium from salt lake halogen.

[0031] The present invention solves the problem of lithium extraction under the condition of low lithium ion concentration of raw halogen in salt lake by strengthening the lithium ion transmission ability and channel height stability of the film to reduce the influence of impurity ion competition transmission, and realizes lithium extraction from raw halogen. The working principle of the present invention is: the end face of the two-dimensional montmorillonite nanosheet used in the present invention has rich aluminum hydroxyl groups. First, short-chain organic matter with amine groups is used to perform functional self-assembly with montmorillonite nanosheets. The hydrogen bonding between the amine groups of the short-chain organic matter and the aluminum hydroxyl groups of the end faces of the nanosheets induces the end faces of the nanosheets to cross-link with the end faces. The montmorillonite nanosheets after the end faces are connected into large pieces are easier to assemble into films in an orderly manner. At the same time, the short-chain organic matter can avoid the interlayer channel sites of the film from being occupied. Further, by utilizing the interlayer cation exchange characteristics unique to montmorillonite, metal cations with strong electrostatic binding force and strong electrostatic interaction with montmorillonite can be exchanged between the two-dimensional montmorillonite film layers to stabilize the film channel height. At the same time, the introduction of metal cations can provide cross-linking sites for further introducing functional organic matter into the film. On this basis, organic matter containing polyphenolic hydroxyl groups is used to cross-link the two-dimensional montmorillonite film modified with metal cations. On the one hand, the chelation of polyphenolic hydroxyl groups with metal cations can form a functional layer with polyphenolic hydroxyl groups on the surface of the two-dimensional montmorillonite film. The polyphenolic hydroxyl groups are highly hydrophilic, and the polyphenolic hydroxyl groups have a relatively strong affinity for lithium ions. They have a specific recognition effect on lithium ions, which can effectively improve the transmission power of lithium ions under low lithium ion concentration conditions and increase the lithium ion transmission rate. On the other hand, the chelation functional layer of polyphenolic hydroxyl groups with metal cations can avoid the loss of metal cations used to stabilize the height of the film channel during the lithium ion separation process, further strengthen the stability of the film channel height, and achieve highly selective transmission of lithium ions, thereby ultimately achieving efficient lithium extraction from raw halogen under low lithium ion concentration conditions.

[0032] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention include:

[0033] 1. The present invention can enhance the lithium ion transmission rate and separation selectivity of low lithium ion concentration raw brine, realize direct lithium extraction from salt lake raw brine, and can shorten the lithium extraction cycle and improve the lithium ion recovery rate compared with lithium extraction from salt lake old brine;

[0034] 2. By utilizing the unique cation exchange properties of montmorillonite and introducing metal cations with strong binding force between the film layers, the binding force between the nanosheets can be strengthened and the channel height of the film can be stabilized, so that the film can exhibit highly selective separation performance in the original halogen system;

[0035] 3. The polyphenolic hydroxyl and metal cation chelating functional layer constructed by the film system can further fix the metal cations between the layers, ensuring that the strong binding force cations introduced between the film layers operate stably and do not leak out of the layer during the separation process in the original halogen environment, thereby enhancing the stability of the film operation;

[0036] 4. The polyphenolic hydroxyl groups introduced into the film system are highly hydrophilic and have a recognition effect on lithium ions. Under the original halide conditions with low lithium ion concentration, they can enhance the lithium ion transmission rate and enhance the lithium-magnesium separation selectivity.
