Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a dual-selective electro-controlled ion permeation-exchange membrane system and a method for simultaneously separating anions and cations. Specifically, it relates to the preparation of a dual-selective electro-controlled ion permeation-exchange membrane and the continuous electro-controlled separation and recovery of high-value lithium and bromine resources in salt lake brine, and the conversion of these resources into lithium hydroxide and hydrogen bromide products using bipolar membrane technology; it belongs to the field of salt lake resource recovery and separation technology. Background Technology

[0002] Salt lake brines contain abundant inorganic salt resources, including considerable reserves of some high-value rare elements such as lithium, rubidium, cesium, bromine, and iodine. Therefore, how to efficiently separate high-value ions from salt lake brines has become a key issue in the field of salt lake resource utilization.

[0003] Lithium is an important resource, with salt lake lithium resources accounting for approximately 85% of my country's total reserves. Its products are widely used in the battery industry, lubricating grease, and nuclear industry. With the rapid development of new energy vehicles, ternary high-nickel battery materials have become mainstream, significantly increasing the demand for lithium hydroxide, a basic lithium salt product. Furthermore, bromine, as a high-value-added halogen element, is an essential basic chemical raw material, widely used in flame retardants, bactericides, rubber, pharmaceutical intermediates, and mercury adsorbents. Therefore, the continuous and efficient extraction of lithium and bromide ions from brine and their conversion into corresponding products has promising application prospects.

[0004] The main separation technologies for target ions in salt lake brine include ion exchange, adsorption, and membrane separation. Traditional ion separation technologies often suffer from drawbacks such as cumbersome operation, limited selectivity, low adsorption / desorption efficiency, and the need for acid and alkali addition during regeneration, which can easily lead to secondary pollution.

[0005] In recent years, electro-controlled ion selective osmosis (ESIP) has attracted much attention as an environmentally friendly ion separation technology. It achieves rapid insertion and removal of low-concentration target ions by adjusting the oxidation / reduction potential of electroactive functional membrane materials, without generating secondary pollution. Chinese patent CN 106621816A discloses a method for continuous recovery of lead ions via electro-controlled ion selective osmosis, mainly targeting lead ion separation. This method selectively permeates only cations, without considering the simultaneous separation of anions and cations or the efficient utilization of resources. Furthermore, Chinese patent CN 112939295A discloses a method for preparing acids and alkalis via sodium sulfate bipolar membrane electrodialysis, cleverly combining bipolar membranes with anion and cation exchange membranes to form a bipolar membrane electrodialysis process, solving the problems of complexity and high cost in existing acid and alkali production processes. However, due to the limited selectivity of ions during electrodialysis, the quality of the imported water is particularly important; therefore, the pretreatment process for acid and alkali production via bipolar membrane electrodialysis is relatively cumbersome. Chinese patent CN113774234A discloses a device and process for producing acid and alkali using a bipolar membrane-electro-controlled ion membrane extraction method. This method employs electro-controlled ion extraction technology and bipolar membrane technology to achieve selective permeation of anions and cations. However, the preparation processes for the anion and cation permeation membranes differ, and the OH groups generated by the bipolar membrane cannot be guaranteed. - and H + Entering the raw material chamber causes raw material contamination and membrane contamination (such as the formation of precipitates like magnesium hydroxide).

[0006] While electro-controlled ion-selective osmosis membranes and bipolar membrane acid and alkali production technologies have been studied, methods for selective directional ion separation using dual-selective electro-controlled ion-osmosis-exchange membranes have not yet been reported. Furthermore, methods for achieving simultaneous separation of anions and cations and acid and alkali production using only a single membrane have also not been reported. Summary of the Invention

[0007] The present invention aims to provide a dual-selective electro-controlled ion permeation-exchange membrane system and a method for simultaneously separating anions and cations, with the objective of constructing a dual-selective electro-controlled ion permeation-exchange membrane system for the continuous, directional, and simultaneous separation of bromine and lithium anions and cations.

[0008] First, a dual-selective electrically controlled ion-permeation membrane is prepared using a lithium-based LDH electroactive material exhibiting dual selectivity for bromine and lithium anions and cations. This membrane is then coupled with an anion-cation exchange membrane to prepare a dual-selective electrically controlled ion-permeation-exchange membrane. Furthermore, leveraging the hydrolysis properties of the bipolar membrane, it is combined with the dual-selective electrically controlled ion-permeation-exchange membrane to form a dual-selective electrically controlled ion-permeation-exchange membrane system. This invention utilizes an applied electric field and pulsed voltage as driving forces, significantly improving ion adsorption and desorption efficiency, and the presence of the anion-cation exchange membrane avoids H+ ionization. + OH -The transmembrane migration of ions, and the generation of corresponding acid and base products using bipolar membranes, is a clean production process with continuous operation, high ion selectivity, and high separation efficiency, and has broad application prospects.

[0009] This invention provides a dual-selective electro-controlled ion permeation-exchange membrane system, which consists of a membrane stack with a "three-membrane, three-chamber" repeating unit, comprising a constant voltage power supply, a pulse power supply, a dual-selective electro-controlled ion permeation-exchange membrane, and a bipolar membrane. The dual-selective electro-controlled ion permeation-exchange membrane is prepared by combining a dual-selective electro-controlled ion permeation (ESIPM, lithium-based bimetallic hydroxide electroactive membrane) with dual selectivity for bromine and lithium ions with an anion and cation exchange membrane. The chambers of the membrane stack are an alternating circulating structure of dual-selective electro-controlled ion permeation-exchange cation membrane (ESIPM+CM) - bipolar membrane (BPM) - dual-selective electro-controlled ion permeation-exchange anion membrane (ESIPM+AM). Feed solution is transported between the chambers composed of ESIPM+AM and ESIPM+CM, lithium hydroxide is recovered in the chamber composed of ESIPM+CM and BPM, and bromic acid is recovered in the chamber composed of BPM and ESIPM+AM.

[0010] This invention prepares a dual-selective electrically controlled ion-permeation-exchange membrane by combining a dual-selective electrically controlled ion-permeation membrane (ESIPM) with an anion and cation exchange membrane, comprising a dual-selective electrically controlled ion-permeation-exchange cation membrane (ESIPM+CM) and a dual-selective electrically controlled ion-permeation-exchange anion membrane (ESIPM+AM).

[0011] This invention provides a method for assembling the above-mentioned dual-selection electrically controlled ion permeation-exchange membrane system, comprising the following steps: The dual-selective electro-controlled ion-permeation-exchange membrane consists of an electro-controlled ion-selective permeation membrane (ESIPM) with dual-selective electroactivity and an anion-cation exchange membrane with anion-cation exchange capacity; An electroactive dual-selective electro-controlled ion permeation membrane (ESIPM) is prepared by dissolving and mixing lithium-based LDH, a conductive enhancer, and a binder, and then preparing the membrane by one of the following methods: filtration, extrusion, coating, or spraying. The mass ratio of the active material, the conductive enhancer, and the binder is 8:1:1. Furthermore, lithium-based LDHs include lithium-Al-LDHs, Li-Al-Fe-LDHs, and other lithium-based metal hydroxides; conductive enhancers include one or more of conductive carbon black, graphene, and carbon nanotubes; and binders include one or more of polytetrafluoroethylene, polyvinyl alcohol, polyacrylic acid, chitosan, and cellulose.

[0012] (2) Anion and cation exchange membranes are coupled on ESIPM by one of the following methods: surface grafting, polymerization, or bonding, and finally a dual-selective electro-controlled ion permeation-exchange membrane is obtained, including a dual-selective electro-controlled ion permeation-exchange cation membrane (ESIPM+CM) and a dual-selective electro-controlled ion permeation-exchange anion membrane (ESIPM+AM). (3) A bipolar membrane is installed between ESIPM+AM and ESIPM+CM to form a membrane stack, and a dual-selection electrically controlled ion permeation-exchange membrane system is formed with a constant voltage power supply and a pulse power supply.

[0013] The anion and cation exchange membranes are AMI-7001S anion exchange membranes and CMI-7000S cation exchange membranes.

[0014] The bipolar membrane is a commercially available bipolar membrane, including one of the following: German FuMA-Tech Fumasep FBM-PK bipolar membrane, Japanese ASTOM bipolar membrane, and Jierui Environmental Protection bipolar membrane.

[0015] Mechanism of the invention: The dual-selective electro-ion permeation-exchange membrane has dual selectivity for lithium and bromide ions. The membrane is used to elute lithium ions on lithium-based LDH with aqueous solution. Lithium ions first pass through the cation exchange membrane and then through the lithium ion vacancies on the lithium-based LDH plates for electro-ion selective permeation. Bromide ions first pass through the anion exchange membrane and then through the interlayer anion exchange of the lithium-based LDH for electro-ion selective permeation.

[0016] This invention provides a method for simultaneously separating anions and cations in the aforementioned dual-selective electro-controlled ion permeation-exchange membrane system. Under the action of an external electric field, ① a negative potential pulse voltage is applied to the ESIPM of the ESIPM+CM membrane, causing lithium ions to migrate directionally to the ESIPM+AM membrane and then to the lattice vacancies within the ESIPM. Reversing the pulse voltage allows the lithium ions to pass through the ESIPM+CM to reach the alkaline chamber, where they react with OH- generated by the bipolar membrane. - ② A positive potential pulse voltage is applied to the ESIPM of the ESIPM+AM membrane. Bromine ions migrate directionally to the ESIPM+AM membrane and then migrate directionally between the layers within the ESIPM. Reversing the pulse voltage allows the bromide ions to pass through the ESIPM+AM membrane to reach the acid chamber, where they react with H+ generated by the bipolar membrane. + The HBr product is formed.

[0017] This invention provides a method for simultaneously separating anions and cations in the aforementioned dual-selective electro-controlled ion permeation-exchange membrane system, comprising the following steps: selectively and directionally transferring lithium and bromide ions by applying a pulsed voltage to the dual-selective electro-controlled ion permeation membrane portion and coupling it with a cell voltage; simultaneously, the bipolar membrane generates H under the influence of an electric field. + and OH -This ultimately achieves the recovery of acids and alkalis. The specific method is as follows: (1) Inject the receiving liquid (water or low-concentration hydrogen bromide and lithium hydroxide solution, 0 ~ 50 ppm) and the raw material liquid (salt lake brine) into the chamber. After the flow rates of each water flow in the device reach equilibrium and stability, turn on the pulse power supply. The dual-selection electrically controlled ion-osmosis-exchange membrane system can be used in brine solutions with a total salinity below 100 g / L, where Li + Concentrations above 10 ppm, Br - The concentration is above 1 ppm.

[0018] (2) A constant cell voltage (5 ~ 20 V) is applied to the outermost electrode. A negative pulse voltage is applied to the ESIPM of the dual-selective electro-ion permeation-exchange cation membrane (ESIPM+CM), and a positive pulse voltage is applied to the ESIPM of the dual-selective electro-ion permeation-exchange anion membrane (ESIPM+AM). Lithium and bromide ions in the feed solution migrate directionally to the dual-selective electro-ion permeation-exchange membrane. Lithium ions migrate and permeate through the lattice vacancies of ESIPM+CM, and bromide ions migrate and permeate through the interlayer of ESIPM+AM. The separation of lithium ions and bromide ions is achieved through the selectivity of the dual-selective electro-ion permeation-exchange membrane. (3) Under the coupling effect of pulse voltage and cell voltage, lithium ions and bromide ions pass through the dual-selective electrically controlled ion permeation-exchange membrane and the OH- generated by the bipolar membrane. - and H + The corresponding acid and alkali products are produced.

[0019] In the above separation method, under the action of an external electric field, positive and negative potentials are alternately applied to the membrane electrode through a circuit control system to achieve the synchronous insertion and removal of target bromine and lithium ions. Combined with a liquid circuit control system, selective and continuous electro-controlled separation of target bromine and lithium ions can be achieved. Simultaneously, bipolar membrane technology is used to convert them into corresponding acid and base products. Furthermore, the dual-selective electro-controlled ion permeation-exchange membrane can also limit the H2 produced by the bipolar membrane. + OH - The contaminated raw material chamber is used to achieve directional migration within the chamber.

[0020] In the above separation method, the pulse voltage range on the dual-selective electro-controlled ion permeation-exchange membrane is -5 V to 5 V, the pulse width is 20 s to 2000 s, and the voltage range of the applied electric field is 5 V to 20 V.

[0021] In the above separation methods, the dual-selective electrically controlled ion permeation-exchange membrane can limit the H2 produced by the bipolar membrane. + and OH -The material reaches the feed chamber through a dual-selection electro-ion permeation-exchange membrane, preventing contamination of the feed chamber. The anion and cation exchange membranes on the dual-selection electro-ion permeation-exchange membrane only allow anions or cations to pass through, realizing that the dual-selection electro-ion permeation-exchange cation membrane (ESIPM+CM) only allows cations to pass through and the dual-selection electro-ion permeation-exchange anion membrane (ESIPM+AM) only allows anions to pass through, preventing anions and cations from passing through a single membrane at the same time.

[0022] The beneficial effects of this invention are: (1) This invention is a combination of dual-selection electro-controlled ion permeation-exchange membrane and bipolar membrane technology. It is a multi-functional combined technology for recovering lithium and bromine resources in salt lakes and generating high-value-added lithium hydroxide and hydrogen bromide products. It realizes multi-stage product processing and the multi-functionality of the device, and can effectively reduce operating costs. (2) A dual-selective electrically controlled ion permeation-exchange membrane was prepared using lithium-based LDH, which achieved bidirectional selectivity of lithium and bromide ions. At the same time, it combined with anion and cation exchange membranes to achieve directional migration of ions. The dual-selective electrically controlled ion permeation-exchange membrane can be reused. (3) Using pulse voltage as the main driving force avoids secondary pollution caused by chemical reagent regeneration, and greatly improves the ion transfer efficiency and extraction rate; (4) It can operate continuously and can achieve simultaneous separation of lithium and bromide ions, which is beneficial for industrial production.

The feed solution is 500 mL of brine from a salt lake, and the receiving solution is 500 mL of pure water. The solution in each compartment circulates in the membrane stack at a flow rate of 250 mL / min.
