PAN-H1.6Mn1.6O4 lithium ion-sieve membrane was prepared by blend of lithium ion sieve (H1.6Mn1.6O4) with hydrophilic polymer poly(acrylonitrile) (PAN). The effects of adding amount of lithium ion sieve for PAN-H1.6Mn1.6O4 membrane structure and Li+ adsorption-desorption properties were investigated by SEM
Li+ static adsorption
(NH4)2S2O8 elution and adsorption experiments in brine. The results showed that the adsorption capacity of PAN-H1.6Mn1.6O4 membrane (17.45 mg·g-1) achieved to 88.0% of H1.6Mn1.6O4 powder when the concentration of PAN was 10% (mass) and the amount of loading of H1.6Mn1.6O4 was 50% (mass). In addition
when (NH4)2S2O8 solution was used as eluent with the eluent concentration
liquid-solid ratio and time of 0.3 mol·L-1
600:1 and 12 h
respectively
the amount of lithium ion elution was 17.23 mg·g-1 and the manganese loss of ratio was only 1.14%. The PAN-H1.6Mn1.6O4 membrane showed good selectivity for Li+ in Lop Nor brine containing other cations such as Na+
K+
Mg2+ and Ca2+. After ten times adsorption-desorption cycles in brine
the adsorption capacity of lithium ion was lost only 6.0% (from 11.64 mg·g-1 to 10.94 mg·g-1). Overall results demonstrated that using hydrophilic PAN carrier material had little effect on the adsorption capacity of H1.6Mn1.6O4 for lithium ion
and the mild eluent was favorable to chemical stability of lithium-ion sieve membrane.
