Synthesis and Properties of Lithium Ion-sieve Precursor Li4Mn5O12

doi:10.3724/SP.J.1077.2013.12513

Abstract

Abstract: Adsorption method is the most promising method for extraction of lithium from salt lakes. A new kind of MnO₂ ion-sieves with high Li⁺ selective adsorption property were synthesized. Spinel-type Li₄Mn₅O₁₂ precursors were synthesized by EDTA-citrate complexing method using LiNO₃ and Mn(NO₃)₂·4H₂O as starting materials. MnO₂ ion-sieves with Li⁺ selective adsorption property were prepared by the acid treatment process to extract Li⁺ from the spinel Li₄Mn₅O₁₂ precursors. As-prepared samples were characterized by thermo gravimetric, XRD, SEM, FT-IR and Li⁺ selective adsorption measurements, respectively. The results show that calcination time has a considerable effect on the structure and composition of precursors. The precursor calcined at 400℃ for 24 h has a pure phase of Li₄Mn₅O₁₂. Final MnO₂ ion-sieve and Li₄Mn₅O₁₂ precursor are about 200 nm spherical pellets and have the same structure of spinel. The maximum adsorption capacity of ion-sieve is about 43.1 mg/g and has the good selection for Li⁺.

Key words: ion-sieve, Li₄Mn₅O₁₂, precursor, adsorption
