Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of inorganic chemistry technology, specifically relating to an adsorbent and a method for simultaneous separation of rubidium and cesium in weakly carbonated salt lake brine. Background Technology

[0002] Rubidium and cesium resources in salt lake brines are not currently being utilized on a large scale. The extraction and utilization of rubidium and cesium resources is on the rise, with the main focus on extraction and membrane separation. However, there is little research on the process of enriching rubidium and cesium using natural energy and separating them from other coexisting ions. Existing technologies mainly focus on the enrichment and separation of potassium and lithium resources, without taking into account rubidium and cesium resources.

[0003] In weakly carbonated brine, potassium, rubidium, and cesium coexist, and because they are in the same periodic table, their properties are similar. Therefore, rubidium and cesium are enriched during natural evaporation. After reaching saturation, cesium enrichment becomes difficult, and complex potassium, rubidium, and cesium solid solutions are formed, making the separation and extraction of rubidium and cesium resources extremely difficult. To date, there are no mature case studies to refer to. Furthermore, due to the low abundance of trace elements in weakly carbonated brine, existing technologies suffer from low yields, difficulty in enrichment, and significant entrainment losses during separation, making the separation and extraction of rubidium and cesium from weakly carbonated brine extremely challenging.

[0004] In existing technologies, most adsorbents are heteropolyacids / ferrocyanides, which suffer from severe solubility loss and sulfate poisoning. This results in short adsorbent lifespan and a rapid decline in adsorption efficiency over time. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art. This invention provides a novel adsorbent and uses this novel adsorbent to design a new method for separating and extracting rubidium and cesium. It can achieve efficient separation of rubidium and cesium in weakly carbonated salt lake brines. Using the method of this invention, rubidium and cesium in weakly carbonated salt lake brines can be separated from other coexisting ions simultaneously. The separation efficiency is high, and the yield can reach more than 80%. Moreover, the adsorbent can be regenerated and activated multiple times, and its stability remains good in multiple cycles.
