Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of lithium adsorbents, and particularly to a synthesis method of a covalent organic framework adsorbent constructed based on diketone polymers. Background Art
[0002] With the reduction of traditional energy resources and the continuous improvement of environmental protection awareness, the demand for replacing traditional energy vehicles with electric vehicles has become increasingly urgent; among many battery technology options, lithium-ion batteries are regarded as the preferred energy storage solution in the field of electric vehicles due to their high energy storage capacity and good cycle life, and thus have been widely used; currently, the lithium batteries used in electric vehicles will have their performance degraded to 80% of that of a new battery after about 800 full charge and discharge cycles, thus approaching the retirement stage, and the annual retirement volume of lithium batteries in China is increasing year by year. Therefore, the resource treatment of retired lithium batteries is an effective way to alleviate the problem of traditional energy consumption; Among many lithium extraction technologies, the adsorption method is not only applicable to high Na / Li ratio salt lake brines, but also has the advantages of simple operation, environmental friendliness and low cost, and is recognized as the best method for extracting lithium from salt lake brines; currently, two major types of adsorbents are widely used in the field of lithium extraction: inorganic and organic, and they selectively extract lithium ions through coordination effects and ion sieves; however, there are few reports on the preparation of covalent organic framework adsorbents that combine the two effects; as a new type of porous material, covalent organic frameworks have great application prospects in the adsorption field due to their controllable structure, large specific surface area and high chemical stability; however, it is difficult to achieve good separation effects by simply using COF materials for size screening of metal ions; there are many literatures recording that the hydroxyl or carbonyl groups in β-diketone compounds can form stable chelate structures with lithium ions, so as to achieve targeted adsorption of metal lithium ions; In view of this, the present invention proposes a new type of adsorbent, which combines the characteristics of large specific surface area and high chemical stability of covalent organic frameworks and the + characteristics of strong affinity for Li, aiming to solve the limitations encountered by single-effect adsorbents in treating complex industrial wastewater, and at the same time provide an economical, efficient and environmentally friendly lithium extraction solution.

Take 100 mL of the lithium-containing solution and place it in a 250 mL beaker.
[0027] (2) Then, accurately weigh 100 mg of the covalent organic framework adsorbent material based on diketone polymers and put it into the beaker of the lithium-ion aqueous solution with a concentration of 500 mg / L.
[0028] (3) Use a magnetic stirring device, set the rotation speed to 500 revolutions per minute, and carry out stirring treatment for 180 minutes in an environment with a constant temperature of 25 °C.

These samples need to be filtered through a polyethersulfone membrane with a pore size of 0.45 μL and appropriately diluted for subsequent analysis. Subsequently, use an atomic absorption spectrometer to accurately measure the concentration of lithium ions in each sample; Figure 6 Figure is the kinetic adsorption curve of the covalent organic framework adsorbent material based on diketone polymers prepared in Example 1. This adsorbent material shows a rapid adsorption rate. Within the first 20 minutes, its adsorption capacity reaches 25.5 mg / g, which is equivalent to 75.1% of the adsorption capacity at equilibrium (31.32 mg / g). By 60 minutes, it reaches the adsorption saturation state. In the actual kinetic adsorption process, the data is more in line with the description of the pseudo-second-order kinetic model, revealing that the main adsorption mechanism of the adsorbent for lithium ions is chemical adsorption.

Place them in a constant temperature oscillator for adsorption experiments, and set the parameters as temperature 25 °C, rotation speed 180 rpm, and continuous oscillation for 24 h; (3) Take the ion solutions in the conical flasks before and after adsorption, and use an atomic absorption spectrometer (AAS) to measure the lithium ion concentration in the solution; Figure 7 The isothermal adsorption curve of the covalent organic framework adsorbent material prepared for Example 1 based on diketone polymers shows a high adsorption capacity of the adsorbent material for lithium ions. The adsorption capacity can reach 36.32 mg / g, and the fitting results of the Langmuir and Freundlich models show that the actual material isothermal adsorption process is more in line with the Langmuir adsorption model, indicating that the adsorption process of the adsorbent for lithium ions is mainly monolayer adsorption.

Place it in a constant temperature oscillator for adsorption experiments, and set the parameters as temperature 25 °C, rotation speed 180 rpm, and continuous oscillation for 24 h; (3) Take the ion solutions in the conical flasks before and after adsorption, and use inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) technology to measure the concentrations of lithium ions, potassium ions, and sodium ions in the solution; Using the covalent organic framework adsorbent material based on diketone polymer prepared by emulsion polymerization in Example 1, its adsorption selectivity for lithium ions in a mixed solution containing various monovalent metals was explored.
