The invention discloses a double-site doped
titanium lithium ion sieve adsorbent as well as a preparation method and application thereof. The adsorbent is a
lithium removal product of a double-site doped
titanium lithium ion sieve adsorbent precursor, the chemical general formula of the double-site doped
titanium lithium
ion sieve adsorbent precursor is Li (2-x) MxTi (1-y) NyOz, M is at least one of Na < + >, K < + >, Zn < 2 + >, Co < 2 + >, Ni < 2 + >, Mg < 2 + > and Al < 3 + > and occupies Li site, N is at least one of Cr < 3 + >, Fe < 3 + >, Zr < 4 + >, Nb < 5 + >, Ta < 5 + >, V < 5 + >, Mo < 6 + > and W < 6 + > and occupies Ti site, x is larger than or equal to 0.001 and smaller than or equal to 0.5, and y is larger than or equal to 0.001 and smaller than or equal to 0.5.
Metal cations are introduced to replace Li sites and Ti sites at the same time, Li site substitution enlarges interlayer spacing and improves Li < + >
diffusion rate, Ti site substitution regulates local
chemical bond and
electron distribution, stabilizes lattice structure and enhances
electron conduction, and through double-site
doping, 'ion-
electron 'double channels are constructed, so that a collaborative optimization effect is achieved. The double-site doped titanium lithium ion sieve adsorbent disclosed by the invention is applied to adsorption and extraction of lithium in a
Bayer process sodium aluminate solution, and the adsorbent shows excellent adsorption performance.
