Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of lithium extraction technology from salt lakes, and in particular to a titanium-based lithium adsorbent with fast adsorption, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology
[0002] Lithium and its compounds have been widely used in medicine, energy, adhesives, and cement. Especially in recent years, driven by the concept and policies of replacing traditional fuels with green renewable energy in many countries, the scale of batteries for electric vehicles and other electric devices has expanded rapidly. The global lithium consumption market is booming, with global lithium salt consumption reaching approximately 918,000 tons of lithium-ion-coal (LCE) in 2023. The battery industry accounted for over 85% of this, indicating that the supply of lithium from conventional mineral resources is far from sufficient. Salt lakes, on the other hand, possess abundant lithium reserves, accounting for 69% of the world's total lithium reserves. Therefore, developing efficient, energy-saving, and environmentally friendly lithium extraction technologies from salt lake resources to meet the enormous demand for metallic lithium is urgently needed.
[0003] Currently, the main methods for extracting lithium from salt lakes include evaporation precipitation, solvent extraction, adsorption, membrane technology, and electrochemical methods. Among these methods, adsorption is considered the most promising lithium mining method due to its high efficiency, selectivity, and environmental friendliness. The other technologies face challenges in energy consumption, separation efficiency, environmental pollution, and durability, limiting their industrialization. Titanium-based adsorbents are commonly used, including layered H₂TiO₃ and spinel-structured H₄Ti₅O₃. 12 Two main categories. H4Ti5O 12 Has origin from precursor Li4Ti5O 12 The spinel structure with strong Ti-O bonds enhances lithium adsorption performance and improves recovery capabilities. Current research explores ways to improve the adsorption performance of spinel-structured lithium titanate adsorbents by examining texture and interfacial structure. The academic paper "The Li(H2O)..." further details this. n dehydration behavior influences the Li + ion adsorption on H4Ti5O 12 The study, titled "With Different Facets Exposed" [Chemical Engineering Journal, 2023, 451: 138870], indicates that the adsorbent on different main growth exposed surfaces affects the surface dehydration process and Li. + Adsorption behavior, synthesis of Li4Ti5O4 on the main growth (111) plane 12It exhibits higher adsorption capacity and rate.

[0021] Example 3 First, add 10 mL of tetraisopropyl titanate to 100 mL of deionized water while stirring to form a white titanate precipitate. Then add 70 mL of deionized water, followed by 6.8747 g of LiOH·H₂O. After stirring continuously for 30 min, add 30 mL of 30% H₂O₂ dropwise while stirring continuously until a clear, pale yellow solution is formed.

[0022] refer to Figure 1 Li4Ti5O prepared according to the technical solution of this embodiment 12 and H4Ti5O after pickling 12 X-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern of L4Ti5O; results show L4Ti5O 12 No other impurity peaks appeared, indicating that a pure phase was obtained. After acid washing, H4Ti5O 12 The leftward shift of the peak indicates a change in cell size, resulting in Li... + and H + exchange.
[0023] Referring to Figure 2, a scanning electron microscope (SEM) image of the sample prepared according to the technical solution of this embodiment is shown. It can be seen that the sample exhibits a nanorod morphology with relatively uniform size, ranging from 0.5 to 2 μm. The sample maintains a one-dimensional nanorod morphology before and after acid washing, indicating that H4Ti5O… 12 The sample exhibits a certain degree of stability.
[0024] refer to Figure 3 Figure 1 shows a high-resolution transmission electron microscope (HRTEM) image of the sample prepared according to the technical solution of this embodiment. Figure a) shows that the random absence of octahedral blocks forms a mesoporous structure inside the microrod, and the aggregation of some mesoporous regions forms an interconnected pore structure, which is beneficial for Li… + Entering the adsorption sites inside the crystal reduces mass transfer resistance; in figure b), Li4Ti5O 12 The electron diffraction (SAED) patterns of the two regions selected for the microrod are both single-crystal diffraction patterns, and they are almost identical to each other (a region SAED pattern is shown). These patterns indicate that Li4Ti5O 12 The microrods have a single-crystal structure; as shown in Figure c), the sample exhibits a directionally grown single-crystal structure, and there are obvious channels within the rods, as indicated by the arrows.
[0025] refer to Figure 4a and Figure 4b The figures show the N2 adsorption-desorption isotherms and pore size distribution (BET) curves of the sample prepared in Example 1; the curves can be classified as typical N-type isotherms. Based on the BJH method, Li4Ti5O 12 and H4Ti5O 12 The surface area of BET is 35.51 m². 2 / g and 46.10 m 2 / g. Li4Ti5O 12 and H4Ti5O 12The pore size distribution is mainly concentrated at 11.10 nm and 10.47 nm, which can be attributed to the size of the crystal pores. A large surface area can promote the contact area between the adsorbent and the LiCl solution, and the porosity of the adsorbent may be more favorable for LiCl. + Diffusion from solution to adsorbent.
[0026] To better illustrate the rapid adsorption characteristics of the titanium-based lithium adsorbent provided by this invention, the applicant conducted the following research: 1. Adsorption rate test in lithium-containing solutions of different concentrations Lithium-containing solution concentrations: 100 mg / L, 200 mg / L, and 300 mg / L; the volume of each lithium-containing solution was 100 mL; the pH of the solution was adjusted to 13 with KOH; the dosage of titanium-based lithium adsorbent was 2 g / L; the reaction was carried out at room temperature; and samples were taken at time intervals of 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 90, 180, and 270 min.
[0027] The results are as follows Figure 5 As shown, Li in the lithium-containing solution can be observed. + Increasing the concentration can significantly improve the adsorbent H4Ti5O 12 Adsorption capacity, c (Li + ) =300 mg L -1 In solution, the adsorption capacity can reach approximately 30 mg g. -1 At all three concentrations, the adsorption capacity reached 97% of the equilibrium value after 20 min of reaction, and the adsorption saturation time was less than 1 h.

[0031] The results showed that different pickling times affected Li + The adsorption effects of both were comparable, reaching 97% of the equilibrium capacity within 20 minutes, with adsorption saturation times all less than 1 hour and adsorption capacities ranging from 25 to 27 mg / g. However, different acid washing cycles had varying effects on Ti. 4+ The dissolution rates are different; after one acid wash, Ti... 4+ The dissolution rate was greater than 0.05%, and the Ti was pickled 3-4 times. 4+ The dissolution rate is approximately 0.02%~0.03%, after 5 acid washes, Ti 4+ The dissolution rate is approximately 0.02%, indicating that 3-4 acid washes can provide even lower Ti content. 4+ Dissolution rate, maintaining H4Ti5O 12 The stability of the structure.
[0032] refer to Figure 6 The image shows H4Ti5O obtained after different acid washing cycles. 12 The XRD patterns of the samples all showed the same characteristic crystal planes (111), (311), and (400), with the (111) crystal plane having the highest peak intensity. The H4Ti5O obtained after three acid leaching cycles... 12 The relative intensity ratio between the (311) and (400) crystal planes is 1.19, while the H4Ti5O after 5 acid leachings... 12 The relative intensity ratio between the (311) and (400) crystal planes is 1.15, but the Ti after 5 acid pickling... 4+ The dissolution rate is approximately the same as that of Ti after three acid washes. 4+ The dissolution rate is 3 to 4 times higher, indicating that the relative strength ratio of the (311) and (400) crystal planes has a significant impact on Ti. 4+ The rate of dissolution loss has a significant impact.
[0033] (3) Examine the adsorption cycle performance.
[0034] Lithium solution concentration: 200 mg / L, lithium-containing solution volume: 1000 mL, KOH to adjust solution pH: 13, adsorbent dosage: 2 g / L, reaction time: 4 h; acid washing HCl concentration: 0.1 mg / L, HCl volume: 200 mL, adsorbent dosage after adsorption: 10 g / L, reaction time: 24 h; after acid washing, the product was washed with deionized water and centrifuged 6 times until neutral; reaction was carried out at room temperature. (Powder loss occurred in each adsorption-desorption cycle; adsorption was carried out at a solid-liquid ratio of 2 g / L, and acid washing and desorption were carried out at a solid-liquid ratio of 10 g / L), 5 cycles were performed.
[0035] The results show that the adsorbent provided by this invention has an almost unchanged adsorption capacity after five adsorption-desorption cycles, and Ti 4+The dissolution rate remained at around 0.02%, indicating that the material has good stability and cycle performance.
[0036] (3) Examine the effects of coexistence of multiple competing ions.

After the reaction was completed, the supernatant was filtered and ICP-OES was measured.
[0038] The results are as follows Figure 7 As shown in the figure, it can be seen that for Li + Selectivity compared to K + Na + 、Rb + Better, for Li + The adsorption capacity is 2.85 mmol / L. -1 It is much larger than other competing ions, for K + It hardly adsorbs, presumably due to differences in ionic radius and hydration energy.
[0039] Example 4 In this embodiment, a titanium-based lithium adsorbent is used for adsorption in a chloride-type brine after Mg and Ca have been precipitated.
[0040] The composition of the chloride-precipitated brine is shown in Table 1. 10 mL of brine (pH < 12) was taken, with an adsorbent dosage of 2 g / L, and the reaction time was 24 h at room temperature. Three parallel experiments were conducted. After the reaction, the supernatant was filtered and ICP-OES was measured. Table 1.
[0041] The results are as follows Figure 8 As shown in the figure, it can be seen that for Li + Selectivity compared to K + Na+ Better, for Li + The adsorption capacity is 1.81 mmol / L. -1 The adsorption capacity was slightly lower than that of the simulated solution, which is attributed to the different number of active sites generated at different pH levels, resulting in differences in adsorption capacity. However, it has promising applications in chloride-type brine.
