[0002] Lithium is an important resource, which is widely used in electronic products, electric vehicles, aerospace, military equipment and other fields.

[0003] Lithium leaching and recovery from lithium ore is the main way to obtain lithium materials, but lithium ore is a non-renewable resource, so recovering lithium from lithium-containing waste such as waste batteries also has specific industrial value.

[0004] The existing methods for recovering lithium mainly include physical method, chemical method and biological method. The physical method mainly includes adsorption, extraction, etc. The chemical method mainly includes roasting, precipitation, electrolysis, etc. The biological method uses the action of microorganisms or enzymes to selectively dissolve and precipitate lithium ions.

[0005] The physical method has great application prospect in industry due to its simple operation and easy industrialization. The existing technology also reports many adsorption recovery processes of lithium. For example, the Chinese patent document with publication number CN114558557A discloses a lithium extraction adsorption particle for lithium in natural brine based on molecular sieve adsorbent and a preparation method thereof, which specifically records that the adsorption particle includes sodium silicate bonded aluminum hydroxide molecular sieve or molecular sieve coupled with silicon dioxide aerogel. For another example, the patent document with publication number WO2025129489A1 discloses a lithium-containing salt water through lithium adsorbent.

[0006] In summary, the existing technology reports some lithium extraction methods for lithium solution, but the existing methods mainly focus on the recovery effect of lithium, and less attention is paid to how to directly and efficiently resource utilization.

[0055] Figure 2 Thermogravimetric pattern of silica aerogel before and after Mn modification in Example 1. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0056] The present application will be further described in detail below in combination with specific embodiments, but the present application is not limited to the following embodiments.

[0057] As a scheme that can be cited in the present application, the lithium-containing brine after lithium precipitation from the spent battery acid leaching solution is a brine containing 0.05-0.1 g / L of Li, 20-50 ppm of total content of N, S and P heteroelements, and 0.05-0.1 g / L of total content of F and Cl.

[0058] The silica gel preparation method is as follows: taking tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) as a precursor, and using an acid catalysis sol-gel method to prepare a silica wet gel: first, accurately take reagents according to the molar ratio of TEOS:EtOH:H2O:HCl = 1:4:4:0.01. Mix the deionized water, ethanol and dilute hydrochloric acid and stir, and use a pH meter to confirm that the pH value of the mixed solution is in the acidic range of 2-4. Then, slowly add TEOS to the mixed solution under continuous stirring, and react in a 40-60°C water bath for 1-2 hours until the solution becomes a clear transparent sol. Stop stirring, transfer the sol into a wide-mouth container and loosely cover, and place in a vibration-free environment for standing. After several hours to several days, the sol loses fluidity and forms a transparent jelly-like wet gel. Finally, age the wet gel in the original solution for 24-48 hours to strengthen its network structure, and obtain the final silica wet gel product.

The temperature was 350°C, and the reaction time was 4 h. After grinding the pre-sintered powder, final heat treatment was performed under an inert atmosphere (Ar) at a temperature of 650°C for 10 h to obtain regenerated LFP. 12
