Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of materials synthesis technology, specifically relating to the preparation of an ion-imprinted polymer adsorbent and its application in the preparation of battery-grade lithium dihydrogen phosphate. Background Technology
[0002] Lithium dihydrogen phosphate (LiH2PO4) is an important inorganic compound. Besides its use as an analytical reagent and catalyst, it has become a key raw material for lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4), a lithium-ion battery material, driven by the development of the new energy industry. Its purity directly determines the performance of lithium battery electrodes; low purity can easily lead to abnormal discharge, short circuits, or even spontaneous combustion or explosion. Therefore, the preparation of battery-grade lithium dihydrogen phosphate is a core requirement of the new energy industry.
[0003] Traditional domestic production processes generally involve reacting lithium carbonate or lithium hydroxide with phosphoric acid, followed by evaporation, concentration, and cooling crystallization to obtain the product, which is mainly divided into three categories: 1. The neutralization method involves the reaction of lithium carbonate / lithium hydroxide with phosphoric acid to produce the product. Precise control of temperature and pH is required to ensure purity and yield. 2. The metathesis method involves reacting phosphoric acid solution with lithium hydroxide solution, which also requires strict reaction conditions; 3. Extraction methods use organic reagents such as methanol and ethanol for purification, but they have poor safety and cannot meet the requirements for large-scale industrial production.
[0004] Chinese invention patent CN116143091A discloses a method for producing battery-grade lithium dihydrogen phosphate from lithium chloride brine. This method still follows the traditional approach of "removing impurities first, then precipitation, and finally acid hydrolysis," failing to overcome the limitations of multi-step reactions, leading to increased process complexity and difficulty in impurity control. Furthermore, the multiple separation and purification steps required to achieve battery-grade purity inevitably reduce production efficiency and increase energy consumption.
[0005] Currently, lithium-ion adsorbents show great promise for lithium extraction from salt lakes and seawater, but they still face a series of drawbacks and challenges in practical applications. The following is a detailed analysis of the main drawbacks: 1. Limited adsorption capacity Most adsorbents have low theoretical adsorption capacities, making it difficult to meet the demands of high-concentration or large-scale lithium extraction. In practical applications, the capacity may be further reduced due to structural collapse and a decrease in active sites.
[0006] 2. Poor selectivity Mg 2+ With Li + Due to their similar properties, the adsorbents compete fiercely for adsorption, leading to a decrease in lithium separation efficiency. Some adsorbents require pretreatment or pH adjustment to enhance selectivity, increasing costs.
[0007] 3. Slow dynamic performance Some adsorbents (such as certain organic framework materials) have slow diffusion rates and long adsorption-desorption cycles, which affect treatment efficiency.
[0008] In summary, existing methods have shortcomings in terms of cost, safety, product quality, and process control. They also have low extraction efficiency for high magnesium-lithium ratio brines, which cannot meet the needs of large-scale commercialization of batteries. Therefore, developing a new low-cost, battery-grade, and easily controllable method for preparing lithium dihydrogen phosphate is an urgent need in the field of battery materials. Summary of the Invention
[0009] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of existing lithium dihydrogen phosphate (LiH2PO4) preparation processes and provide a method for preparing ion-imprinted polymer adsorbents and their application in the preparation of battery-grade LiH2PO4. This invention utilizes an adsorbent to prepare battery-grade LiH2PO4. This process achieves specific adsorption of low-concentration lithium and high-concentration impurities in brine without the need for impurity removal, yielding battery-grade LiH2PO4 (purity ≥ 99.5%) with a comprehensive lithium yield exceeding 90%. This invention's process is characterized by low energy consumption, safety, environmental friendliness, and suitability for large-scale industrial production, possessing significant environmental and economic value.
[0010] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution designed by the present invention is as follows: This invention provides a method for preparing an ion-imprinted polymer adsorbent, comprising the following steps: 1) Preparation of Fe3O4@SiO2: Weigh nano-Fe3O4 and tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) at a weight ratio of 1:3~10; dissolve nano-Fe3O4 in an ethanol solution (ethanol is used as a solvent to dissolve TEOS and hydrolysis intermediates, allowing the reaction to proceed slowly and controllably) and mix thoroughly, then add tetraethyl orthosilicate; adjust the pH value to 9.5-10.2 (ammonia is used as an adjuster), stir the reaction at room temperature, wash several times with ethanol and water, and vacuum dry to obtain the reaction product Fe3O4@SiO2; 2) Preparation of crude Fe3O4@SiO2@IIPs products: First, weigh out hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide (porogen CTAB), 1,2-bis(triethoxysilyl)ethane (crosslinking agent BTESE), mixed functional monomers, lithium dihydrogen phosphate (template molecule), and the aforementioned Fe3O4@SiO2 (magnetic carrier). Then, dissolve hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide in an ethanol solution, and then add water, 1,2-bis(triethoxysilyl)ethane, mixed functional monomers, and lithium dihydrogen phosphate in sequence. Stir until homogeneous at room temperature, then add Fe3O4@SiO2. Continue stirring until homogeneous at room temperature, wash repeatedly with ethanol and water, and vacuum dry to obtain the crude product for later use. The weight ratio of Fe3O4@SiO2, hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide, 1,2-bis(triethoxysilyl)ethane (crosslinking agent BTESE), mixed functional monomers, and lithium dihydrogen phosphate is 1:1~1.1:0.5~0.7:0.34~0.66:0.052~0.166; and the mixed functional monomers include acrylamide and functional monomers. 3) Preparation of Fe3O4@SiO2@IIPs: The crude product was washed multiple times with a methanol solution containing acetic acid (to remove the template lithium dihydrogen phosphate and CTAB), and then dried under vacuum to obtain the magnetic-mixed functional monomer-lithium dihydrogen phosphate ion-imprinted polymer adsorbent (Fe3O4@SiO2@IIPs, abbreviated as IIPs).
[0011] Furthermore, in step 1), the mass fraction of the ethanol solution is 85-95%; the particle size of the nano Fe3O4 is 1-100 nm.
[0012] The key advantages of the aforementioned nano-Fe3O4 are reflected in: ① Superparamagnetic: It can respond magnetically quickly under an applied magnetic field, and there is no residual magnetism after the magnetic field is removed. It does not agglomerate, making it easy to disperse and recover in fluids, which is crucial for continuous processes.
[0013] ② High specific surface area: The nanoparticles have an extremely high atomic ratio on their surface, which can load more functional monomers (such as ion-imprinted layers), greatly improving adsorption capacity and efficiency.
[0014] ③ Surface modifiability: Nanoparticles have high surface activity and are easy to chemically modify through silanization, polymer encapsulation, etc., to achieve a strong bond with the functional layer, which is the basis for constructing a stable core-shell structure.
[0015] Furthermore, in step 2), the molar ratio of acrylamide to functional monomer is 1:1; The functional monomer is any one of benzo-12-crown-4, 14-crown-4 and dibenzo-14-crown-4.
[0016] Furthermore, in step 2), the vacuum drying temperature is 70°C.
[0017] Furthermore, in step 3), the mass fraction of acetic acid in the methanol solution is 2%.
[0018] The present invention also provides an application of the above-mentioned preparation method for the ion-imprinted polymer adsorbent in the adsorption of metal ions.
[0019] This invention also provides a process for preparing battery-grade lithium dihydrogen phosphate using lithium chloride as the lithium source, comprising the following steps: a. Preparation of lithium dihydrogen phosphate mixed solution Under stirring conditions, lithium chloride solution was added dropwise to ammonium dihydrogen phosphate solution. After the addition was completed, the reaction continued for 1-2 hours to obtain a mixed lithium dihydrogen phosphate solution. b. Adsorption The above preparation method is used to add the lithium dihydrogen phosphate mixed solution to obtain the ion-imprinted polymer adsorbent. The pH value is adjusted to 4.5-5, and the reaction is stirred at room temperature. After the reaction is completed, a magnet is added (to separate the ammonium chloride and lithium dihydrogen phosphate solutions, with an adsorption efficiency of up to 95%). c. Desorption After the ion-imprinted polymer is saturated with adsorption, it can be eluted with deionized water to obtain a purified lithium dihydrogen phosphate solution (the ion-imprinted polymer can be reused repeatedly; the single desorption efficiency is 98%, and after 10 "adsorption-desorption" cycles, the saturated adsorption capacity of the adsorbent for lithium dihydrogen phosphate still remains above 93% of the initial capacity, with a desorption efficiency > 95%). d. Evaporation and concentration The lithium dihydrogen phosphate solution is evaporated and concentrated until an oil film forms on the surface of the solution, at which point evaporation can be stopped; thus, a concentrated lithium dihydrogen phosphate solution is obtained. e. Stepwise cooling crystallization (controlling crystal formation) Before the lithium dihydrogen phosphate is concentrated and cooled, lithium dihydrogen phosphate seed crystals are added and cooled in steps. After cooling, the product is filtered and separated to obtain the wet lithium dihydrogen phosphate product. f. Drying The wet lithium dihydrogen phosphate product is dried to obtain battery-grade lithium dihydrogen phosphate.
[0020] Further, in step a, the lithium concentration in the lithium chloride solution is 0.05 g / L-1 g / L (this lithium chloride solution can be brine (such as underground brine, geothermal brine, oil and gas field brine) or other waste liquid containing lithium chloride). The stirring rate is 100-200 r / min, and the lithium chloride solution is added at a rate of 300-400 mL / h.
[0021] Furthermore, in step d, the evaporation and concentration temperature is 150-200℃.
[0022] Furthermore, in step e, the first cooling involves reducing the temperature from the concentration temperature to 80-90°C at a rate of 2.0°C / min. Second cooling: The temperature is reduced from 80-90℃ to 25-30℃ at a cooling rate of 2.0°C / min; In step f, the drying temperature is 100°C.
[0023] The beneficial effects of this invention are: ① The ion-imprinted polymer adsorbent of this invention can specifically adsorb lithium ions and dihydrogen phosphate ions, and can treat solutions with low lithium concentration and high levels of other impurity ions. Brine raw materials often have a high magnesium content, and magnesium is difficult to separate from lithium. This method makes separating magnesium and lithium simpler and more convenient. Specific adsorption combines the separation of lithium dihydrogen phosphate from ammonium chloride solution and the separation (purification) of lithium dihydrogen phosphate from impurities such as calcium, magnesium, and aluminum into one process.
[0024] ② This invention enables efficient and selective recovery of lithium from complex solutions containing low-concentration lithium (0.05-1.0 g / L) and high-concentration impurities, and can prepare battery-grade lithium dihydrogen phosphate products without the need for impurity removal steps, with a yield of over 90%.
[0025] ③ This invention utilizes ion imprinting technology to separate ammonium chloride and lithium dihydrogen phosphate solutions. Magnetic nanoparticles are etched onto the substrate, and magnetic ammonium chloride ion-imprinted polymers (IIPs) with dual-site synergistic recognition functional monomers are designed using electrostatic interactions and specific adsorption between ions. This ensures that the effective adsorption capacity ratio of the adsorbent for lithium and dihydrogen phosphate is close to their stoichiometric ratio, thereby achieving the separation of ammonium chloride and lithium dihydrogen phosphate solutions. The pH of the reaction solution is controlled between 4.5 and 5, at which point the amino groups attract H₂PO₄ through electrostatic attraction. - This facilitates the subsequent desorption process without introducing other impurity ions. Crown ether / cryptoether functional monomers can specifically adsorb lithium. This technology achieves the specific adsorption of lithium dihydrogen phosphate ions and combines the separation and purification of lithium dihydrogen phosphate solution into one process, eliminating the need for subsequent impurity removal. The process is simple, and the magnetic materials facilitate recovery and continuous operation.
[0026] ④ In this invention, evaporation and concentration are carried out at a temperature of 150-200℃, which causes excess ammonium dihydrogen phosphate in the solution to decompose into phosphoric acid and ammonia. The phosphoric acid remaining in the system after decomposition reacts with some of the lithium dihydrogen phosphate, which can inhibit the hydrolysis of lithium dihydrogen phosphate during heating and help maintain the stability of the system. Then, lowering the evaporation temperature to adjust the pH of the solution can remove trace metal impurities in the solution, all of which help to improve the purity of the product.
[0027] ⑤ This invention utilizes the characteristic that the solubility of lithium dihydrogen phosphate decreases significantly with decreasing temperature to perform stepwise cooling crystallization. This avoids the formation of fine crystals encapsulating impurities due to excessive saturation, thus increasing the product purity to over 99.2%. Furthermore, by adding a certain amount of lithium dihydrogen phosphate seed crystals before cooling crystallization, the solute in the solution is guided to grow orderly on the seed crystal surface, rather than spontaneously forming new crystal nuclei. This reduces the formation of fine crystals and impurity encapsulation, increasing the purity of the lithium dihydrogen phosphate product from 99.2% to over 99.5%, with a more uniform crystal size distribution. In addition, the larger crystals facilitate subsequent filtration and washing, reducing product loss. Simultaneously, by fully utilizing the characteristic that its solubility decreases significantly with decreasing temperature, lithium residue in the mother liquor is reduced, increasing the single-step lithium yield to over 98%, balancing purity and economy.
[0028] ⑥ In this invention, because ammonium chloride has a low decomposition temperature, residual ammonium chloride adhering to the surface can be decomposed during the drying process of battery-grade lithium dihydrogen phosphate wet material, so as to ensure the purity of the product.

[0038] The content of each component in the battery-grade lithium dihydrogen phosphate products prepared by Examples 1-4 and the comparative examples was tested.
[0039] Table 2 As can be seen from the above, the adsorbents prepared in Examples 1-4 can achieve an adsorption efficiency of over 95% by controlling the amount of functional monomers and template molecules added. The pH of the reaction process is controlled between 4.5 and 5, at which point the amino group attracts H2PO4 through electrostatic attraction. - This facilitates subsequent desorption, with a single desorption efficiency of 98%. The saturated adsorption capacity of this adsorbent for lithium dihydrogen phosphate remains above 93% of the initial capacity, with a desorption efficiency of >95% and strong cycle stability.
[0040] The adsorbents prepared in Comparative Examples 1-3 had low adsorption efficiency, were difficult to desorb, and had low efficiency; their performance dropped sharply after several cycles, and their cycle stability was poor.
[0041] Comparative Example 4 showed poor specific adsorption effect using commercial adsorbents, resulting in products with excessive impurity content and low yield.
[0042] The battery-grade lithium dihydrogen phosphate products prepared in Examples 1-4 all achieved lithium yields ≥90% and purity ≥99.5%, especially the battery-grade lithium dihydrogen phosphate product prepared in Example 1. In contrast, the comparative examples struggled to achieve both high yield and high purity due to severe impurity co-adsorption.
[0043] In summary, the adsorbent of this invention has advantages such as high adsorption capacity, easy desorption, and good cycle stability, and is suitable for the efficient separation and recovery of lithium dihydrogen phosphate.
