Problems solved by technology

Manganese dioxide ion sieve is non-toxic, low in cost, and highly selective to lithium ions, but hydrochloric acid is needed in the process of preparing lithium ion sieve and elution of lithium ions, so it will corrode equipment and cause harm to the environment
Research proves that LiFePO 4 The material has good electrochemical reversibility in aqueous solution system, first in LiNO 3 Lithium intercalation at constant potential is carried out in aqueous solution, and then LiFePO after lithium intercalation 4 The material undergoes constant potential delithiation, and the Li embedded in the material + Released into deionized aqueous solution, becoming a Li-containing + Aqueous solution, thus achieving the purpose of electrode extraction of lithium ions, but calculated LiFePO 4 The lithium intercalation efficiency of the material is low (about 35%)

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for extracting lithium resources from an aqueous solution, in particular to an electrochemical method for extracting lithium from a lithium-containing solution based on lithium battery electrode materials. Background technique [0002] Lithium is the lightest metal in nature and has very active chemical properties. Lithium metal and its compounds are widely used in industries such as glass, metallurgy, ceramics, lubricants, and refrigerants. At the same time, with the rapid rise of emerging industries such as electric vehicles, wind power, and nuclear power, the demand for lithium resources in social development is also gradually showing leaps and bounds. increase. At present, the extraction of lithium resources has shifted from ore lithium extraction to salt lake brine and seawater lithium extraction. Therefore, how to effectively extract lithium resources from salt lake brine and seawater has become a research hotsp...
