摘要/Abstract

摘要： Powdery Li⁺-imprinted manganese oxides adsorbent was widely used to the recovery of Li⁺, but there are some difficulties, such as poor stability in acid solution, inconvenience of operation and separation. In this work, a useful hydrogel composite based H₄Mn_3.5Ti_1.5O₁₂/reduced graphene oxide/polyacrylamide (HMTO-rGO/PAM) was fabricated by thermal initiation method with promising stable, conductive and selective properties. The resulting materials were characterized by field emission scanning electron microscope, infrared absorption spectrum, X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and electrochemical techniques. The recovery of Li⁺ was investigated using HMTO-rGO/PAM from brine by a separated two-stage sorption statically and electrically switched ion exchange desorption process. The adsorption capacity of 51.5 mg·g^-1 could be achieved with an initial Li⁺ concentration of 200 mg·L^-1 in pH 10, at 45 ℃ for 12 h. Li⁺ ions could be quickly desorbed by cyclic voltammetry (CV) in pH 3, 0.1 mol·L^-1 HCl/NH₄Cl accompanying the exchange of Li⁺ and H⁺(NH₄⁺) and the transfer of LMTO-rGO/PAM to HMTO-rGO/PAM.
