Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of lithium extraction from brine, and in particular to a lithium ion conductive dense membrane, a preparation method thereof and uses thereof. Background Art
[0003] Current methods for lithium extraction from brine mainly include chemical precipitation method, calcination impregnation method, extraction method, adsorption method, membrane separation method, etc., but most of these methods have defects.
[0004] The precipitation method needs to use a large amount of chemical raw materials to generate lithium salt precipitation, producing a large amount of side reaction pollutants and having a low lithium salt production rate. The calcination impregnation method is to first calcine the mixed salt obtained from concentrated brine at high temperature, remove impurities after water leaching, and finally concentrate the leaching solution and introduce Na 2 CO 3 to obtain lithium salt precipitation. This method involves multiple concentration processes, with high energy requirements and complex processes. The extraction method uses extractants to extract and separate lithium resources from salt lake brine. Most extractant systems are limited to the laboratory level. In addition, there is also the problem that the extraction solvent volatilizes and pollutes the environment. The adsorption method anchors lithium in the brine through physical and chemical reactions between the brine and the adsorbent, and then uses the desorbing solution to enrich lithium in the lithium extraction solution, thereby achieving the effect of lithium extraction. This method has poor versatility and there is also the problem of adsorbent fragmentation and dissolution during the application process.
[0005] The membrane separation method generally uses the differences in the sizes and hydration energies of different metal ions to selectively retain metal ions, and has the advantages of simple process, low cost and high yield. However, due to the similarities in ionic radius and other aspects between lithium ions and metal ions such as sodium ions and magnesium ions, the metal ion selectivity of the membrane separation method still needs to be further improved, and the complex structure of the membrane often results in poor long-term production capacity of the membrane.
[0006] CN106629786A discloses an electrodialysis lithium extraction method, which is based on the principle transport and retention of metal cations by an ion conductive membrane. However, in the lithium extraction system of this patent, a commercial selective monovalent ion exchange membrane is used. The selectivity of such membranes is often based on the differences in ion size and hydration energy, and the selectivity for lithium ions is poor, and precise single-ion selective transport cannot be achieved. In addition, the transport of lithium ions in such membranes often depends on the voids and pores in the membrane, and impurity ions often accumulate on the membrane surface or in the pores, polluting the membrane.
[0007] The lithium extraction methods in the prior art all require the use of a large amount of chemical raw materials, often involving multiple processes, and have a series of defects such as complex processes, high costs, and environmental pollution. The adsorption method has the problem of poor versatility, and the breakage of the adsorbent will also cause the production capacity to gradually decline over time. The membrane separation method mostly selectively intercepts metal ions by utilizing the differences in the sizes and hydration energies of different metal ions. When the relevant properties of impurity ions such as magnesium ions and sodium ions are similar to those of lithium ions, it is difficult to achieve the complete and separate separation of lithium ions. Moreover, the impurity ions often accumulate on the surface or in the pores of the filter membrane, causing pollution to the filter membrane and reducing the long-term production capacity of the filter membrane.
[0008] Therefore, how to develop a conductive membrane with a simple process, not prone to blockage of the surface pores of the filter membrane, and capable of efficiently separating lithium ions has become an urgent problem to be solved at present. Summary of the Invention
[0009] To solve the above technical problems, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a lithium-ion conductive dense membrane, its preparation method and uses. The lithium-ion conductive dense membrane provided by the present invention has strong transport selectivity for Li + It can improve the selectivity of ion transport under an applied current, realize the enrichment of LiOH at the cathode, and thus complete the process of extracting lithium from brine. In the lithium-ion dense membrane provided by the present invention, ions are transported through a solid-state ion conductor, having a single transport selectivity, good lithium-ion separation effect, wide application range, and since the ion transport in the present invention does not depend on pores, the long-term production capacity is strong.
[0010] To achieve this purpose, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:
[0011] In the first aspect, the present invention provides a lithium-ion conductive dense membrane, which comprises a polymer-based membrane, ion-conductive inorganic particles, and a polymer solid electrolyte; the polymer-based membrane is a network structure.
[0012] The ion-conductive inorganic particles and the polymer solid electrolyte are respectively and uniformly filled in the pores of the polymer-based membrane, and at the same time, the polymer solid electrolyte wraps the fiber filaments in the polymer-based membrane.
[0013] The Gurley value of the lithium-ion conductive dense membrane is ≥1000, for example, it can be 1000, 1050, 1100, 1150, 1200, 1250, 1300, 1350, 1400, 1450, or 1500, but is not limited to the listed values, and other unlisted values within the numerical range are equally applicable.
[0014] The porosity of the lithium-ion conductive dense film is ≤5%, for example, it can be 5%, 4.5%, 4%, 3.5%, 3%, 2.5%, 2%, 1.5% or 1%, but not limited to the listed values, and other unlisted values within the numerical range are equally applicable.
[0015] The lithium-ion conductive dense film provided by the present invention uses a polymer solid electrolyte and ion-conductive inorganic particles to fill a polymer-based film, and has the advantages of strong lithium-ion conduction ability, high transport efficiency, and strong selectivity for lithium ions. The lithium-ion conductive dense film is composed of a polymer-based film with an internally interconnected "loofah sponge"-like network structure, ion-conductive inorganic particles, and a continuous polymer solid electrolyte. The network-structured substrate film can effectively carry the polymer solid electrolyte and ion-conductive inorganic particles, thereby forming a large number of transport channels for the directional movement of lithium ions; the Gurley value of the lithium-ion conductive dense film is ≥1000. The low porosity of the lithium-ion conductive dense film can increase the effective contact area between lithium ions and the lithium-ion conductive dense film, while reducing the pores inside the lithium-ion conductive dense film through which impurity ions can pass, improving selectivity and separation efficiency.
[0016] The following are the preferred technical solutions of the present invention, but do not limit the technical solutions provided by the present invention.

If the mass fraction of the ion-conductive inorganic particles is too low, the ionic conductivity and separation efficiency of the lithium-ion conductive dense film will decrease; if the mass fraction of the ion-conductive inorganic particles is too high, the porosity of the lithium-ion conductive dense film will increase due to poor interfacial contact between the inorganic particles, thereby reducing the selectivity of the lithium-ion conductive dense film.

[0072] The technical solution of the present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and through specific embodiments. However, the following examples are merely simple examples of the present invention and do not represent or limit the scope of the claimed protection of the present invention. The scope of protection of the present invention is subject to the claims.
[0073] In the following examples and comparative examples, unless otherwise specified, all reagents and consumables are purchased from conventional reagent manufacturers in the art; unless otherwise specified, the experimental methods and technical means used are conventional methods and means in the art.
[0074] Example 1
[0075] This example provides a lithium-ion conductive dense film, which includes a polymer-based film, ion-conductive inorganic particles, and a polymer solid electrolyte; the polymer-based film has a network structure; the Gurley value of the lithium-ion conductive dense film is 2855, and the porosity is 2.5%;
[0076] Based on the total mass of the lithium-ion conductive dense film being 100 wt%, the mass fraction of the ion-conductive inorganic particles is 9.75 wt%; the mass fraction of the polymer solid electrolyte is 9.25 wt%; the thickness of the lithium-ion conductive dense film is 75 μm.
[0077] The preparation method of the lithium-ion conductive dense film provided in this example includes the following steps:
[0078] (1) Mix lithium iron phosphate powder as ion-conductive inorganic particles (the mass ratio of large particles with an average particle size of 3 μm and small particles with an average particle size of 50 nm is 1:1), a polymer solid electrolyte monomer (methyl methacrylate), a photoinitiator (819), and a DMF solvent in a mass ratio, and stir at room temperature for 12 h to obtain a hole-filling slurry;
[0079] Based on the total mass of the hole-filling slurry being 100 wt%, among them, the mass fraction of the ion-conductive inorganic particles is 10 wt%, the mass fraction of the polymer solid electrolyte monomer (methyl methacrylate) and the photoinitiator is 10 wt%, and among them, the photoinitiator accounts for 1 wt% of the total mass of the polymer solid electrolyte monomer (methyl methacrylate) and the photoinitiator.
[0080] (2) Immerse the cellulose-based membrane in the hole-filling slurry for 6 h. After completion, scrape off the remaining hole-filling slurry on the surface of the polymer-based membrane and vacuum dry it at 55 °C for 12 h to remove the solvent. After drying, place the membrane on a transparent glass plate and irradiate it with an ultraviolet lamp for 3 min on each side. Carry out the photopolymerization reaction, and repeat the above immersion-drying-polymerization reaction process 2 times to obtain a lithium-ion conductive dense membrane.
[0081] The structural schematic diagram of the prepared lithium-ion conductive dense membrane is as Figure 1 shown.

[0110] Test method: The prepared lithium-ion conductive dense membranes in the examples and comparative examples were tested. The structural schematic diagram of the lithium extraction device of the present invention is referred to Figure 2 (4 - graphite electrode, 5 - brine pool, 6 - lithium-ion conductive dense membrane, 7 - fresh water pool, 8 - platinum wire electrode). The above-mentioned dense ion conductive membrane was used to separate the anode brine (Mg 2+ concentration is 10 g / L, Li + concentration is 0.1 g / L) and the cathode fresh water. An external voltage of 1.0 V was applied for 0.5 h, and the cathode solution was taken to detect Mg 2+ and Li + concentrations 15 min after power-on and after the power-on was completed. The test results are shown in Table 1 below.
[0111] Figure 3 is the change of Li + / Mg 2+ and the separation coefficient (the ratio of Li + / Mg 2+ near the cathode to that near the anode) with time during the lithium extraction process in Example 1 of the present invention. It can be seen from the figure that after 15 min of power-on, effective enrichment of lithium ions was achieved near the cathode, and the lithium / magnesium ratio near the cathode did not increase significantly after continuing to power on for 15 min, which confirmed that the lithium-ion conductive dense membrane prepared in Example 1 has excellent separation efficiency and can complete the enrichment process of lithium ions in a short time.

[0115] It can be seen from the test results that:
[0116] (1) As can be seen from Example 1, the lithium-ion conductive dense film provided by the present invention uses a polymer solid electrolyte and ion-conductive inorganic particles to fill a polymer-based film, and has the advantages of strong lithium-ion conduction ability, high transport efficiency, and strong selectivity for lithium ions. The ion-conductive film prepared by in-situ polymerization has excellent selective transport performance for lithium ions, and can well achieve the separation of Li from brine. + Purpose.
[0117] (2) By comparing Example 1 and Example 2, it can be found that: by further preferably using a high-porosity base film as the polymer-based film in the present invention, it is more conducive to the construction of a lithium-ion selective transport path, and can more effectively achieve the selective separation of Li. + Selective separation.
[0118] (3) By comparing Example 2 and Example 3, it can be found that: after the present invention further preferably uses a polymerizable ionic liquid monomer-based ion conductor to replace the original polymer filling holes, due to the dissociation effect of the ionic liquid on the lithium salt, the transport performance of the ion-conductive film for lithium ions is enhanced.
[0119] (4) By comparing Example 3 and Example 4, it can be found that: by further introducing PEGDA (polyethylene glycol diacrylate) as a cross-linking agent in the present invention, the polymer structure changes into a three-dimensional network type, the mechanical properties of the ion-conductive film are enhanced, and the ether oxygen bond in PEGDA is beneficial to enhancing the transport performance of the ion-conductive film for lithium ions.
[0120] (5) By comparing Example 4 and Example 5, it can be found that: by further reducing the particle size of the ion-conductive inorganic particles in the present invention, the porosity of the ion-conductive film is further reduced, the transport path of impurity ions in the ion-conductive film is reduced, and the selectivity of the ion-conductive film for Li is further improved. + Selectivity.
[0121] (6) By comparing Example 5 and Example 6, it can be found that: by further preferably using the fast lithium-ion conductor lithium lanthanum zirconium oxide (LLZO) to replace lithium iron phosphate in the present invention, the lithium-ion transport path in the base film is improved, and the transport performance of the ion-conductive film for lithium ions is enhanced.
[0122] (7) By comparing Example 6 and Example 7, it can be found that: by further introducing a rolling process in the present invention, the porosity of the existing ion-conductive film is further reduced, and the selectivity of the film during ion transport is enhanced.
[0123] (8) It can be seen from the comparison between Example 1 and Examples 8 - 9 that by further controlling the mass fraction of the ion-conductive inorganic particles to be 5wt% - 50wt%, the present invention can improve the ionic conductivity and mechanical strength of the lithium-ion conductive dense film, and reduce the porosity of the lithium-ion conductive dense film. If the mass fraction of the ion-conductive inorganic particles is too low, the ionic conductivity of the lithium-ion conductive dense film decreases, and the transport efficiency of the ionic conductive film for lithium ions decreases; if the mass fraction of the ion-conductive inorganic particles is too high, due to the poor interfacial contact between the inorganic conductive particles and the lack of support of the polymer solid electrolyte for the inorganic conductive particles, the porosity of the lithium-ion conductive dense film increases, and the selectivity of the ionic conductive film for lithium ions decreases.
[0124] (9) It can be seen from the comparison between Example 1 and Example 10 that by further adopting a high-porosity base film, using a high-porosity base film is beneficial to the construction of a selective transmission path for lithium ions, and can more effectively achieve the selective separation of Li + . At the same time, the high-porosity base film provides sufficient space for the filling of ion-conductive inorganic particles and polymer electrolytes, and can further improve the ionic conductivity and separation coefficient of the lithium-ion conductive dense film.
[0125] (10) It can be seen from the comparison between Example 1 and Example 11 that the method of introducing small particle ion-conductive inorganic particles into the blend adopted by the present invention can effectively fill the pores of the polymer base film. Reducing the particle size of the ion-conductive inorganic particles can improve the interfacial contact between the ion-conductive inorganic particles and between the ion-conductive inorganic particles and other components in the ion-conductive film, further reducing the porosity of the ion-conductive film, reducing the transport path of impurity ions in the ion-conductive film, and further improving the selectivity of the ion-conductive film for Li + .
[0126] (11) It can be seen from the comparison between Example 1 and Comparative Example 1 that due to the interfacial contact problem between the ion-conductive inorganic particles, if the polymer solid electrolyte is not added, there will inevitably be a large number of pores in the ion-conductive film, and the porosity of the ion-conductive film further increases, resulting in a decrease in the selectivity of the ion-conductive film for Li + , which is not conducive to the selective permeation of lithium ions through the ion-conductive film.
[0127] (12) It can be seen from the comparison between Example 1 and Comparative Example 2 that when the ion-conductive inorganic particles are replaced with other substances, the ion-conductive film cannot effectively selectively transport lithium ions and cannot achieve the selective separation of lithium ions in the brine. The ion-conductive inorganic particles selected by the present invention are more conducive to enhancing the selectivity and efficient transport of the lithium-ion conductive dense film for lithium ions.
[0128] (13) It can be seen from Example 1 and Comparative Example 3 that the ion conductive membrane prepared by the in-situ polymerization method of the present invention has excellent selective transport performance for lithium ions, and can well achieve the separation of Li from brine. + The purpose is that the photo / thermal polymerization method is simple and efficient, can effectively control the reaction process, the prepared lithium ion conductive dense membrane has good wettability, and the mechanical strength is more controllable. If the photo / thermal polymerization reaction is not carried out, the polymer solid electrolyte cannot be formed, and the internal passage of the base membrane is only filled with ion conductive inorganic particles. Due to the poor interfacial contact between the ion conductive inorganic particles, the porosity of the lithium ion conductive membrane increases and the internal lithium ion transport passage decreases. The ion conductive membrane has a reduced selectivity and transport efficiency for Li. +
[0129] (14) It can be seen from Example 1 and Comparative Example 4 that the ion conductive membrane prepared by the in-situ polymerization method has excellent selective transport performance for lithium ions, and can well achieve the separation of Li from brine. + The purpose is that if in-situ polymerization is not carried out but the polymer electrolyte is directly added, due to the large volume of the polymer electrolyte, effective infiltration and filling of the polymer base membrane cannot be achieved. At the same time, the polymer remaining on the surface of the ion conductive membrane dissolves and breaks during application, ultimately resulting in a large number of pores remaining inside the ion conductive membrane and a reduced selectivity for lithium ions.
[0130] In summary, the lithium ion conductive dense membrane provided by the present invention uses a polymer solid electrolyte and ion conductive inorganic particles to fill the polymer base membrane, and has the advantages of strong lithium ion conduction ability, high transport efficiency, and strong selectivity for lithium ions. The transport of lithium ions by the lithium ion conductive dense membrane provided by the present invention does not depend on the pores in the conductive membrane, and the damage of membrane blockage to the long-term production capacity of the conductive membrane can be inhibited, effectively improving the service life of the lithium ion conductive dense membrane. Under the action of an external electric field, the ions in the brine migrate directionally, and the cations migrate to the cathode. Among them, Li + can be transported to the cathode through the solid lithium ion conductor in the dense membrane, while other impurity metal cations cannot complete the migration through the dense membrane. Finally, the enrichment of Li + at the cathode is achieved. When the lithium ion conductive dense membrane of the present invention is used for electro-dialysis separation of lithium ions from brine, the voltage applied by the device is lower, the cost is lower, the structure is safe and stable, and the application range is wider.

Those skilled in the art should understand that any changes or substitutions that can be easily thought of by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention fall within the protection scope and disclosure scope of the present invention.
