Description

A composite lithium extraction adsorbent and its preparation method and application Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of lithium extraction from salt lakes and relates to a composite lithium extraction adsorbent and a preparation method and application thereof. Background Art

[0002] Lithium and lithium compounds, as a crucial strategic resource, are widely used in industries such as energy, aerospace, alloy materials, ceramics, construction, and the chemical industry. Naturally, lithium resources primarily exist in liquid forms, including lithium ore, salt lake brine, and seawater. Nearly 80% of my country's liquid lithium resources are located in salt lakes in Qinghai and Tibet. However, due to the inherent disadvantage of high magnesium-to-lithium ratios in my country's salt lakes, commercial lithium ore extraction technologies applied to salt lakes still suffer from low lithium content and purity. Therefore, research on lithium extraction from salt lake brine is of great strategic significance for the development and utilization of lithium resources. Currently, the main methods for extracting lithium from salt lakes include precipitation, solvent extraction, evaporation and crystallization, calcination and leaching, salting out, carbonization, electrodialysis, molten salt electrolysis, and adsorption.

[0003] Among them, adsorption has become one of the most promising methods for extracting lithium from salt lake brine in my country due to its simple process, environmental friendliness, and low cost. Currently, adsorption technology for lithium extraction from salt lakes primarily uses ion sieve adsorbents, including manganese-based lithium ion sieves, aluminum-based lithium ion sieves, and titanium-based lithium ion sieves.

[0004] CN108543521A discloses a fiber adsorbent and preparation method for extracting lithium from salt lake brine. The method comprises preparing a ceramic fiber with a loose inner core, graphitizing the inner core, adsorbing a lithium source and a manganese source, and calcining the resultant to obtain a lithium-manganese composite oxide. The lithium-manganese composite oxide is in a fibrous form in the inner core of the ceramic fiber, and lithium is removed by acid elution.

[0005] CN108636341A discloses a method for forming a lithium-extracting adsorbent, which uses a titanium-type lithium ion sieve or a manganese-type lithium ion sieve as the adsorbent raw powder, dissolves a polymer in an organic solvent to prepare a binder, and uses a rotational molding method to form the adsorbent raw powder into balls.

[0006] The manganese adsorbent prepared by the above scheme has a high theoretical lithium ion adsorption capacity, but has poor permeability and a high dissolution rate, resulting in a sharp decrease in adsorption capacity after repeated use.

[0007] Summary of the Invention

[0008] The following is a summary of the subject matter described in detail herein. This summary is not intended to limit the scope of the claims.

[0009] The purpose of the present disclosure is to provide a composite lithium extraction adsorbent and its preparation method and application. The method described in the present disclosure can produce a composite lithium extraction adsorbent with low dissolution rate and high adsorption selectivity and permeability.

[0010] To achieve this purpose, the present disclosure adopts the following technical solutions:

[0011] In a first aspect, the present disclosure provides a method for preparing a composite lithium extraction adsorbent, the preparation method comprising the following steps:

[0012] (1) mixing a manganese-based adsorbent, a first solvent, and an amino modifier to obtain an amino-modified adsorbent through a one-step reaction;

[0013] (2) mixing an amino-modified adsorbent, zinc salt, tetrakis(4-carboxyphenyl)porphine, pyrazine, N,N-dimethylacetamide, and a second solvent, and performing a two-step reaction to obtain an adsorbent composite organic metal framework material;

[0031] In one embodiment, the stirring speed is 200-400 rpm, for example, 200 rpm, 250 rpm, 300 rpm, 350 rpm or 400 rpm.

[0032] In one embodiment, the stirring time is 3 to 6 hours, for example, 3 hours, 3.5 hours, 4 hours, 5 hours or 6 hours.

[0033] In one embodiment, the sulfonic modifier in step (3) includes 1,3-propanedisulfonic acid.

[0034] In one embodiment, the third solvent comprises deionized water.

[0035] In one embodiment, the mass ratio of the sulfonic modifier to the adsorbent composite organic metal framework material is 1:(1.5-4.5), for example: 1:1.5, 1:2, 1:3, 1:4 or 1:4.5.

[0042] In one embodiment, the acid leaching treatment time is 12 to 48 hours, for example: 12 hours, 16 hours, 18 hours, 20 hours, 24 hours or 48 hours.

[0043] The acid leaching time will affect the performance of the adsorbent. If the time is too short, the lithium ion leaching will be insufficient. If the leaching time is too long, excessive acidification will occur, resulting in Mn dissolution.

[0048] (2) The present invention discloses that the modification of the sulfonic acid groups grafted on the metal organic framework can make it super hydrophilic, thereby improving the adsorption capacity of the adsorbent.

[0085] Comparative Example 3

[0086] The only difference between this comparative example and Example 1 is that no sulfonic group modification is performed, and other conditions and parameters are exactly the same as those in Example 1.

[0087] Performance testing:

[0088] The adsorbent obtained in the examples and comparative examples was mixed with PVDF and N-methylpyrrolidone in a mass ratio of 100:5:150 and granulated. The adsorbent particle size was 1.5 mm. +Lithium was extracted from brine with a concentration of 0.5 g / L, and the test results are shown in Table 1. Atomic absorption spectrophotometry was used to determine the lithium ion content in the solution before and after adsorption, and the adsorption capacity q was calculated. The calculation formula is: q = (C1V1-C2V2) / m. C1 and C2 are the mass concentrations of lithium ions in the solution before and after adsorption (mg / L), V1 and V2 are the volumes of the solution before and after adsorption (L), and m is the mass of the adsorbent (g). The lithium recovery rate is calculated by the following formula: η = ((C1-C2) / C1) × 100%, where C1 is the concentration of lithium in the brine before adsorption, and C2 is the concentration of lithium in the brine after adsorption. The manganese dissolution rate is calculated by the following formula: L Mn =ρ Mn V / m, where ρ Mn is the average mass concentration of manganese ions in the lithium-rich solution (g / L); V is the volume of the lithium-rich solution (L); and m is the mass of the adsorbent (g).

[0089] Table 1

[0090] As can be seen from Table 1, from Examples 1-3, the adsorption capacity of the composite lithium extraction adsorbent disclosed in the present invention can reach more than 16.88 mg / g, the lithium ion recovery rate can reach more than 93.5%, the dissolution loss rate can reach less than 0.0009%, and the adsorption efficiency maintained after 10 cycles can reach more than 94.06%.

[0091] By comparing Example 1 with Examples 4-5, it can be seen that in the preparation process of the composite lithium extraction adsorbent described in the present disclosure, the mass ratio of the manganese-based adsorbent and the amino modifier will affect its performance. The mass ratio of the manganese-based adsorbent and the amino modifier is controlled at 10 to 15:1, and the performance of the composite lithium extraction adsorbent obtained is better. If the amount of the amino modifier added is too large, too many active sites will be covered and the adsorption capacity of the manganese-based adsorbent will be reduced. If the amount of the amino modifier added is too small, the stability of the combination of the manganese-based adsorbent and the metal-organic framework will be affected, and the dissolution loss of the composite adsorbent will be increased.

[0092] By comparison of Example 1 and Examples 6-7, it can be seen that in the preparation process of the composite lithium extraction adsorbent described in the present disclosure, the molar ratio of zinc salt and tetrakis(4-carboxyphenyl)porphine will affect its performance. The molar ratio of zinc salt and tetrakis(4-carboxyphenyl)porphine is controlled at 6 to 9:1, and the performance of the composite lithium extraction adsorbent obtained is better. If the amount of zinc salt added is too large or the amount of tetrakis(4-carboxyphenyl)porphine added is too large, the mismatch between the metal ion donor and the organic ligand will cause incomplete reaction, resulting in the manganese-based adsorbent cannot be evenly loaded on the metal-organic framework material, and ultimately resulting in a decrease in the adsorption performance of the formed composite adsorbent.

[0093] By comparing Example 1 and Examples 8-9, it can be seen that in the preparation process of the composite lithium extraction adsorbent described in the present disclosure, the mass ratio of the sulfonyl modifier and the adsorbent composite organic metal framework material will affect its performance. The mass ratio of the sulfonyl modifier and the adsorbent composite organic metal framework material is controlled at 1:1.5~4.5, and the performance of the composite lithium extraction adsorbent is better. If the amount of the sulfonyl modifier added is too large, the effective adsorption surface area of ​​the adsorbent will be reduced. If the amount of the sulfonyl modifier added is too small, the wettability of the adsorbent will be reduced, resulting in a decrease in lithium adsorption performance.

[0094] By comparison between Example 1 and Comparative Example 1, it can be seen that after the modification of the manganese-based adsorbent by grafting amino groups, the present invention is conducive to the preferential adsorption of meso-tetrakis(4-carboxyphenyl)porphine in the organic ligand during the subsequent in situ generation of an organic metal framework on its surface, so that the metal organic framework grows uniformly on the surface of the adsorbent and the binding is more stable.

[0095] From the comparison between Example 1 and Comparative Example 2, it can be seen that the present disclosure fixes the manganese adsorbent inside the metal organic framework with high water stability to reduce the dissolution loss of manganese; on the other hand, the two-dimensional metal organic framework material has a high porosity with a pore size of 0.78-0.81nm, which is between Li + (0.764nm) and Mg 2+ (0.824nm), which is beneficial to improving the lithium ion selectivity of the composite adsorption material.

[0096] By comparing Example 1 and Comparative Example 3, it can be seen that the modification of the sulfonic acid groups grafted on the metal organic framework disclosed in the present invention can make it super hydrophilic, thereby improving the adsorption capacity of the adsorbent, and the metal organic framework material structure is relatively stable, avoiding the instability problem caused by the dissolution loss of the hydrophilic polymer during use of the adsorbent formed by currently commonly used hydrophilic polymers, such as sodium alginate or polysaccharides, which are coated with ion sieves.
