Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of lithium extraction technology, and more specifically, to a lithium adsorbent, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology
[0002] Lithium resources are currently a core resource for new energy, but the supply and demand are consistently imbalanced, and the future is likely to see a long-term supply shortage. Therefore, lithium extraction from geothermal brines has become a new focus.
[0003] However, extracting lithium from geothermal brine is a major challenge. Extracting lithium from high-temperature geothermal brine requires solving the physical and chemical stability problems of the adsorbent. Current lithium adsorbents are prone to physical damage and chemical degradation in high-temperature environments, which limits their service life and makes the cost of industrial use of lithium adsorbents too high. There is an urgent need to develop adsorbents that can be used stably in high-temperature brine and extract lithium efficiently.
[0004] In view of this, the present invention is proposed. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a lithium adsorbent, its preparation method, and its application.

[0007] In a first aspect, embodiments of the present invention provide a method for preparing a lithium adsorbent, comprising: mixing an oil phase and an aqueous phase to obtain a lithium adsorbent intermediate; and mixing the lithium adsorbent intermediate with an organic additive to obtain a lithium adsorbent. The oil phase comprises a lithium source, an aluminum source, an oil phase matrix, and an oil phase additive, wherein the oil phase matrix comprises a polymer and vinylidene fluoride; the mixing step of the oil phase and the aqueous phase comprises: gradient stirring of the mixture of the oil phase and the aqueous phase; the gradient stirring step comprises: stirring at an initial stirring speed of 30–190 rpm, pausing for a second set time after each first set stirring time; after each pause, reducing the stirring speed to a set speed 1 and continuing stirring until the stirring speed ≤ a set speed 2, wherein the set speed 2 is 10–30 rpm, and maintaining the set speed 2 at 40–120°C for stirring for 20–600 min.
[0008] Secondly, embodiments of the present invention provide a lithium adsorbent, comprising: a lithium adsorbent prepared by the preparation method described in the foregoing embodiments.
[0009] Thirdly, embodiments of the present invention provide the application of the lithium adsorbent as described in the foregoing embodiments in lithium extraction or the preparation of products for lithium extraction.
[0010] The present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0011] This invention develops a novel preparation process that, by screening high-temperature resistant organic matrices and employing specific preparation techniques, produces a highly stable lithium adsorbent. Compared to existing lithium adsorbents, the lithium adsorbent prepared by this invention exhibits less degradation under high-temperature conditions, better mechanical strength, and stronger corrosion resistance, providing a pathway for the effective extraction of lithium resources from high-temperature, high-salinity brine. Attached Figure Description
[0012] To more clearly illustrate the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention, the accompanying drawings used in the embodiments will be briefly introduced below. It should be understood that the following drawings only show some embodiments of the present invention and should not be regarded as a limitation on the scope. For those skilled in the art, other related drawings can be obtained based on these drawings without creative effort.
[0013] Figure 1 This is an electron microscope image of the lithium adsorbent prepared in Example 1. Detailed Implementation
[0014] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below. Where specific conditions are not specified in the embodiments, conventional conditions or conditions recommended by the manufacturer shall apply. Reagents or instruments whose manufacturers are not specified are all conventional products that can be purchased commercially.
[0015] The novel lithium adsorbent prepared using this invention can achieve over 2000 adsorption-desorption cycles in 80°C high-temperature brine without degradation. Conventional lithium adsorbents show significant degradation after more than 100 adsorption-desorption cycles in 80°C high-temperature brine.
[0016] On one hand, embodiments of the present invention provide a method for preparing a lithium adsorbent, comprising: mixing an oil phase and an aqueous phase to obtain a lithium adsorbent intermediate; and mixing the lithium adsorbent intermediate with an organic additive to obtain a lithium adsorbent.
[0017] The oil phase includes a lithium source, an aluminum source, an oil phase matrix, and an oil phase additive. The oil phase matrix includes a polymer and vinylidene fluoride.
[0018] The mixing steps of the oil phase and the aqueous phase include: gradient stirring of the mixture of the oil phase and the aqueous phase; the gradient stirring steps include: stirring at an initial stirring speed of 30-190 rpm, pausing for a second set time after each set first stirring time; after each pause, reducing the stirring speed by a set speed 1 and continuing stirring until the stirring speed is ≤ a set speed 2, where the set speed 2 is 10-30 rpm, and maintaining the set speed 2 at 40-120°C for stirring for 20-600 min. By gradually reducing the stirring speed, the polymerization process can better confine the lithium alumina microcrystals, making the polymerization process of vinylidene fluoride in the oil droplets more gentle. Continuously reducing the stirring speed after the start of vinylidene fluoride polymerization prevents large collapse of the polymer structure in the oil droplets, and also reduces the amount of aluminum and lithium escaping into the aqueous phase.
[0019] The lithium adsorbent prepared by the method provided in this invention achieves its high-temperature resistance primarily through two aspects. Firstly, it utilizes a special organic matrix. Vinylidene fluoride (PVDF) is less prone to chain breakage at high temperatures. The resin matrix is also less susceptible to chemical damage. Using it as the oil-phase matrix in combination with polymers further facilitates the binding of lithium aluminum hydroxide (lithium alumina) microcrystals. This stronger binding results in less active crystal release. Furthermore, the organic matrix framework undergoes minimal change during high-temperature adsorption and desorption, with less shrinkage and expansion during high-temperature adsorption and low-temperature desorption. This minimizes structural damage caused by repeated lithium ion adsorption and desorption at high temperatures. Secondly, a special preparation process is employed. During the preparation of the lithium adsorbent intermediate, gradient stirring is used during the mixing of the oil and aqueous phases. This results in a more uniform distribution of lithium alumina microcrystals within the adsorbent particles, strengthening the binding force on the active inorganic sites and reducing the escape of aluminum and lithium. This leads to more stable adsorption and desorption of lithium chloride at high temperatures.

[0061] Example 1
[0062] A method for preparing a lithium adsorbent includes the following steps:
[0063] (1) Oil phase:
[0064] Take 50g of aluminum chloride (aluminum source) and add 100mL of a mixed solution of DMF and N-methylpyrrolidone (oil phase additive), wherein the mass ratio of DMF to N-methylpyrrolidone is 1:4. Add 70mL of 3mol / L LiOH solution (lithium source) while stirring, then add the oil phase matrix (30g polystyrene + 30g vinylidene fluoride) and stir to dissolve to obtain the oil phase. Add 2g of benzoyl peroxide (initiator) and 40g of liquid wax (porogen) to the oil phase and stir to mix for 20min to obtain the final oil phase.
[0065] (2) Aqueous phase:
[0066] Measure 300 mL of water and pour it into a 2000 mL reactor. Add 0.5 g of carboxymethyl cellulose (dispersant) and stir to dissolve it to form an aqueous phase.
[0067] (3) Lithium adsorbent intermediate:
[0068] The above-mentioned oil phase liquid is poured into the aqueous phase and subjected to gradient stirring to rapidly disperse it into spherical shapes. The gradient stirring includes: heating to 60°C, initial stirring speed of 180 rpm, pausing for 10 minutes every 2 hours, and then reducing the stirring speed by 20 rpm (minimum speed) when restarting the stirring. This process is repeated until the stirring speed is reduced to ≤20 rpm. The temperature is then raised to 80°C and maintained at 20 rpm for 2 hours. After the temperature is maintained, the spherical particles are filtered out.
[0069] (4) Lithium adsorbent:
[0070] 200g of isopropanol (detergent 1) was added to the spherical particles to wash away the liquid wax (porogen). Then, 15g of polylactic acid (organic additive) was dissolved in 300g of a polar organic solvent containing water and ethanol (volume ratio 1:1) to obtain a mixed solution. 100g of the spherical particles were added to a reaction vessel, followed by 300g of the mixed solution. The mixture was heated to 70℃ and reacted for 6 hours. The product was then washed with acetone (detergent 2) and then washed with water to remove the acetone, yielding the spherical adsorbent. Adsorbent particles with a size of 0.6-2.0mm were sieved and used as the product for testing.
[0071] The electron micrograph of the lithium adsorbent prepared in this embodiment is shown in the figure. Figure 1 .
[0072] The brine was subjected to column adsorption experiments, and the brine composition is shown in Table 1.
[0073] Table 1 Brine Components
[0074]
[0075] The brine was heated for adsorption at a rate of 3 BV / h, with an adsorption capacity of 8 BV. The average lithium loading of the resin during the first five adsorption cycles was 2.31 g / L. Subsequently, the resin underwent a 300-cycle brine-water shock test using a permeation testing device, with the brine at 80°C and the water at 40°C. After the test, the adsorbent mass loss was 0.14%. A subsequent five-cycle test under the same conditions showed an average lithium loading of 2.27 g / L.
[0076] Example 2
[0077] Based on the lithium adsorbent preparation method provided in Example 1, five experimental groups were set up to prepare lithium adsorbents. Experimental group 1 was the same as in Example 1, and groups 2-4 were largely the same as in Example 1, with differences shown in Table 2. After preparing the lithium adsorbent, brine was used for column adsorption experiments. The brine composition was as shown in Table 1. The brine was heated for adsorption, with an adsorption rate of 3 BV / h and an adsorption capacity of 8 BV. The average lithium loading of the resin in the first 5 adsorption cycles was 2.01 g / L. Subsequently, the resin was subjected to a 300-cycle brine-water shock test using a resin lifetime testing device, with the brine at 80°C and the water at 40°C. The results are shown in Table 2.
[0078] Table 2 Experimental Groups
[0079]
[0080]
[0081] Group 3 did not undergo gradient stirring. Its step (3) is as follows: pour the oil phase liquid into the water phase, adjust the stirring speed to quickly disperse it into spherical shape; heat up to 60℃ and start stirring at a stirring speed of 180 rpm. After reacting for 8 hours, heat up to 80℃ and react at a stirring speed of 180 rpm for 2 hours. After the heat preservation is completed, filter out the spherical particles.
