Description

Background
Lithium is an important strategic resource, is one of the most ideal materials in new energy development, is known as 'twenty-first century energy metal', 'element for promoting the world' and governments in various countries take the development of new lithium battery energy and materials as important emerging industries. With the increasing depletion and exhaustion of mineral resources such as spodumene in recent years, the specific gravity of lithium extracted from salt lake brine has increased to 90% or more in the current worldwide production of lithium salts. The salt lakes in China are numerous and rich in lithium resources, but the salt lake brine in China is low in lithium concentration, high in magnesium-lithium ratio and difficult to extract.
The lithium ion sieve exchange method is the method which has the most practical significance for extracting lithium from a dilute solution. The key to this technology is the development of adsorbents with excellent properties. The spinel type lithium manganese oxide ion sieve has good selectivity and unique three-dimensional tunnel structure, and is beneficial to Li + With H in acid + Ion exchange takes place, particularly suited to the reaction from c (Li + )<200mg·L -1 Extracting lithium from the raw halogen of (a) a manganese oxide ion sieve comprising LiMn 2 O 4 Etc.
CN112547004a discloses a cobalt-doped manganese-series lithium ion sieve compound and a preparation method thereof, and the patent discloses an electrolytic MnO 2 Powder heat treatment to obtain Mn 2 O 3 By Mn 2 O 3 LiCl and CoCl 2 Hydrothermal reaction in alkaline environment to obtain Li (MnCo) O 2 Li (MnCo) O 2 After heat treatment, a Co-doped lithium ion sieve precursor Li is obtained 1.6 (MnCo) 1.6 O 4 H is obtained by further acid washing 1.6 (MnCo) 1.6 O 4 The lithium ion sieve prepared by the method has good cycle life and lower manganese dissolution loss rate. CN112591798A discloses a columnar manganese series lithium ion sieve compound and a preparation method thereof, which mixes potassium permanganate with ethanol for hydrothermal reaction, then carries out heat treatment on a hydrothermal reaction product, carries out hydrothermal reaction and sintering again after adding a lithium source, and obtains the columnar lithium ion sieve after acid washing, thereby improving the adsorption capacity of the lithium ion sieve and reducing the manganese dissolution loss rate. CN108097198B discloses a conductive manganese-based lithium ion sieve, which coats a layer of conductive oxide, such as antimony doped tin dioxide, fluorine doped tin dioxide, indium doped tin dioxide, etc., on the surface of a manganese ion sieve precursor, so that the adsorption capacity and stability of the manganese-based lithium ion sieve are improved.
In the prior art, manganese series lithium ion sieves are prepared in various modes, but MnO is formed after lithium removal of a manganese oxide ion sieve 2 ·xH 2 O, which reacts in an acidic solution to cause manganese dissolution loss: mnO (MnO) 2 ·xH 2 O+4HCl→MnCl 2 +Cl 2 +(2+x)H 2 The dissolution loss of O and Mn can lead to unstable spinel structure and reduced circulation performance. Although the surface of the ion sieve is coated with an oxide such as ZrO 2 And TiO 2 Can prevent the direct contact between the lithium ion sieve and the acid, reduce the dissolution rate of manganese and improve the structural stability, but most of the oxides are insulators of ions and are tightly wrapped on the surface of the ion sieve, which is not beneficial to the migration of lithium ions, and the ion sieve coated with the oxides can not give consideration to the dissolution loss of manganeseAnd lithium adsorption capacity.
