[PMID: 38891466 PMCID: PMC11174407 DOI: 10.3390/polym16111520] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/29/2024] [Revised: 04/27/2024] [Accepted: 05/20/2024] [Indexed: 06/21/2024] Open
Abstract
The high demand for lithium (Li) relates to clean, renewable storage devices and the advent of electric vehicles (EVs). The extraction of Li ions from aqueous media calls for efficient adsorbent materials with various characteristics, such as good adsorption capacity, good selectivity, easy isolation of the Li-loaded adsorbents, and good recovery of the adsorbed Li ions. The widespread use of metal-based adsorbent materials for Li ions extraction relates to various factors: (i) the ease of preparation via inexpensive and facile templation techniques, (ii) excellent selectivity for Li ions in a matrix, (iii) high recovery of the adsorbed ions, and (iv) good cycling performance of the adsorbents. However, the use of nano-sized metal-based Lithium-ion sieves (LISs) is limited due to challenges associated with isolating the loaded adsorbent material from the aqueous media. The adsorbent granulation process employing various binding agents (e.g., biopolymers, synthetic polymers, and inorganic materials) affords composite functional particles with modified morphological and surface properties that support easy isolation from the aqueous phase upon adsorption of Li ions. Biomaterials (e.g., chitosan, cellulose, alginate, and agar) are of particular interest because their structural diversity renders them amenable to coordination interactions with metal-based LISs to form three-dimensional bio-composite materials. The current review highlights recent progress in the use of biopolymer binding agents for the granulation of metal-based LISs, along with various crosslinking strategies employed to improve the mechanical stability of the granules. The study reviews the effects of granulation and crosslinking on adsorption capacity, selectivity, isolation, recovery, cycling performance, and the stability of the LISs. Adsorbent granulation using biopolymer binders has been reported to modify the uptake properties of the resulting composite materials to varying degrees in accordance with the surface and textural properties of the binding agent. The review further highlights the importance of granulation and crosslinking for improving the extraction process of Li ions from aqueous media. This review contributes to manifold areas related to industrial application of LISs, as follows: (1) to highlight recent progress in the granulation and crosslinking of metal-based adsorbents for Li ions recovery, (2) to highlight the advantages, challenges, and knowledge gaps of using biopolymer-based binders for granulation of LISs, and finally, (3) to catalyze further research interest into the use of biopolymer binders and various crosslinking strategies to engineer functional composite materials for application in Li extraction industry. Properly engineered extractants for Li ions are expected to offer various cost benefits in terms of capital expenditure, percent Li recovery, and reduced environmental footprint.

Abstract
Decarbonatization initiatives have rapidly increased the demand for lithium. This study uses public waste compliance reports and Monte Carlo approaches to estimate total lithium mass yields from produced water (PW) sourced from the Marcellus Shale in Pennsylvania (PA). Statewide, Marcellus Shale PW has substantial extractable lithium, however, concentrations, production volumes and extraction efficiencies vary between the northeast and southwest operating zones. Annual estimates suggest statewide lithium mass yields of approximately 1160 (95% CI 1140-1180) metric tons (mt) per year. Production decline curve analysis on PW volumes reveal cumulative volumetric disparities between the northeast (median = 2.89 X 107 L/10-year) and southwest (median = 5.56 × 107 L/10-year) regions of the state, influencing lithium yield estimates of individual wells in southwest [2.90 (95% CI 2.80-2.99) mt/10-year] and northeast [1.96 (CI 1.86-2.07) mt/10-year] PA. Moreover, Mg/Li mass ratios vary regionally, where NE PA are low Mg/Li fluids, having a median Mg/Li mass ratio of 5.39 (IQR, 2.66-7.26) and SW PA PW is higher with a median Mg/Li mass ratio of 17.8 (IQR, 14.3-20.7). These estimates indicate substantial lithium yields from Marcellus PW, though regional variability in chemistry and production may impact recovery efficiencies.

Abstract
Achieving separation of lithium and magnesium with similar radii is crucial for the current lithium extraction technology from salt lakes, which usually possess a high lithium-to-magnesium ratio. Herein, we proposed the facile sequential interfacial polymerization (SIP) approach to construct electronanofiltration membranes (ENFMs) with a bilayer charged structure consisting of a high positively charged surface and a negatively charged sublayer. The trimesoyl chloride (TMC) concentration was adjusted to enhance the -COOH content and negative charge of the polyamide sublayer to promote Li+ migration, and then the quaternized polyethylenimine was introduced to the membrane surface by the SIP process to increase the positive charge density on the surface of the ENFMs, which would block the migration of Mg2+ and enhance the Li+/Mg2+ selectivity of the ENFMs. The optimal quaternary-modified ENFMs achieved outstanding selectivity for Li+/Mg2+ (49.85) and high Li+ flux (4.10 × 10-8 mol cm-2 s-1) at a current density of 10 mA cm-2. Moreover, in simulated brines with low lithium concentration and high Mg2+/Li+ ratio, the optimal ENFMs also displayed elevated Li+/Mg2+ selectivity (>45), highlighting the substantial promise of the membranes for practical applications.

Front Chem 2023; 11:1265290. [PMID: 37954958 PMCID: PMC10634247 DOI: 10.3389/fchem.2023.1265290] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/22/2023] [Accepted: 10/06/2023] [Indexed: 11/14/2023] Open
Abstract
A combined method of solid-phase alkali activation and surface precipitation was used to prepare the lithium/aluminum layered double hydroxides-SiO2 loaded bauxite (LDH-Si-BX) and applied to adsorb Li+ in brines. In the study, various characterization techniques such as SEM, XRD, BET, Zeta potential, and x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) were applied to characterize and analyze the adsorbents. The adsorption-desorption performance of LDH-Si-BX for Li+ in brines was systematically investigated, including adsorption temperature, adsorption time, Li+ concentration, and regeneration properties. The results indicated that the adsorption kinetics were better fitted by the pseudo-second-order model, whereas the Langmuir model could match the adsorption isotherm data and the maximum Li+ capacity of 1.70 mg/g at 298K. In addition, in the presence of coexisting ions (Na+, K+, Ca2+, and Mg2+), LDH-Si-BX showed good selective adsorption of Li+, and the pH studies demonstrated that the adsorbents had better Li+ adsorption capacity in neutral environments. In the adsorption process of real brines, LDH-Si-BX had a relatively stable adsorption capacity, and after 10 cycles of adsorption and regeneration, the adsorption capacity decreased by 16.8%. It could be seen that the LDH-Si-BX adsorbents prepared in this report have the potential for Li+ adsorption in brines.

Abstract
The construction of novel efficient catalysts for the treatment of organic pollutants in the aqueous environment is essential. The lamellar-like Cu-Al layered double hydroxides (CuAl-LDHs) with various mole ratios were synthesized by a simple route of co-precipitation, and the corresponding degradation characteristic was tested for the removal of tetracycline (TC) using PMS activation. The degradation efficiency of TC over CuAl-LDHs increased up to 93% within 10 min for the Cu/Al mole ratio of 3:1 and almost not changed at a higher mole ratio. For further calcining the optimal catalyst at 300 ℃, the degradation efficiency of TC was found to be increased to 96%. Sulfuric radicals and singlet oxygen were analyzed to be the main reason for the change in degradation characteristics, which was proved by radical quenching experiments and electron paramagnetic resonance technique. The parameters including PMS concentration, catalyst dosage, and reaction temperature on the TC degradation as well as the degradation mechanism for PMS activation were elaborated. The best proportion of CuAl-LDHs owned splendid stability and catalytic activity after reusing, which showed enormous potential in practical application.

Abstract
Salt lake brine has become a promising lithium resource, but it remains challenging to separate Li+ ions from the coexisting ions. We designed a membrane electrode having conductive and hydrophilic bifunctionality based on the H2TiO3 ion sieve (HTO). Reduced graphene oxide (RGO) was combined with the ion sieve to improve electrical conductivity, and tannic acid (TA) was polymerized on the surface of ion sieve to enhance hydrophilicity. These bifunctional modification at the microscopic level improved the electrochemical performance of the electrode and facilitated ion migration and adsorption. Poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) was used as a binder to further intensify the macroscopic hydrophilicity of the HTO/RGO-TA electrode. Lithium adsorption capacity of the modified electrode in 2 h reached 25.2 mg g-1, more than double that of HTO (12.0 mg g-1). The modified electrode showed excellent selectivity for Na+/Li+ and Mg2+/Li+ separation and good cycling stability. The adsorption mechanism follows ion exchange, which involves H+/Li+ exchange and Li-O bond formation in the [H] layer and [HTi2] layer of HTO.

Abstract
Brine (saline wastewater/water) from desalination, salt lakes, and industrial activities (e.g., pharmaceutical industries, oil & gas industries) has received a lot of attention around the world due to its adverse impact on the environment. Currently, several disposal methods have been applied; however, these methods are nowadays unsustainable. To tackle this problem, brine treatment and valorization is considered a promising strategy to eliminate brine discharge and recover valuable resources such as water, minerals, salts, metals, and energy. Brine valorization and resource recovery can be achieved via minimal and zero liquid discharge (MLD & ZLD) desalination systems. Commercially successful technologies such as reverse osmosis (RO) and distillation cannot be adopted as standalone technologies due to restrictions (e.g., osmotic pressure, high-energy/corrosion). Nonetheless, novel technologies such as forward osmosis (FO), membrane distillation (MD) can treat brine of high salinity and present high recovery rates. The extraction of several ions from brines is technically feasible. The minerals/salts composed of major ions (i.e., Na+, Cl-, Mg2+, Ca2+) can be useful in a variety of sectors, and their sale prices are reasonable. On the other hand, the extraction of scarce metals such as lithium, rubidium, and cesium can be extremely profitable as their sale prices are extremely higher compared to the sale prices of common salts. Nonetheless, the extraction of such precious metals is currently restricted to a laboratory scale. The MLD/ZLD systems have high energy consumption and thus are associated with high GHGs emissions as fossil fuels are commonly burned to produce the required energy. To make the MLD/ZLD systems more eco-friendly and carbon-neutral, the authors suggest integrating renewable energy sources such as solar energy, wind energy, geothermal energy, etc. Besides water, minerals, salts, metals, and energy can be harvested from brine. In particular, salinity gradient power can be generated. Salinity gradient power technologies have shown great potential in several bench-scale and pilot-scale implementations. Nonetheless, several improvements are required to promote their large-scale feasibility and viability. To establish a CO2-free and circular global economy, intensive research and development efforts should continue to be directed toward brine valorization and resource recovery using MLD/ZLD systems.

Abstract
The phase equilibria of the reciprocal quaternary system LiBr-Li2SO4-KBr-K2SO4-H2O and its ternary sub-systems LiBr-Li2SO4-H2O and KBr-K2SO4-H2O at 308.15 K were studied using the isothermal dissolution equilibrium method. Then, the solubility data of the equilibrium solutions were collected, and the phase diagrams were plotted. The phase diagrams of the ternary sub-systems at 308.15 K were compared with those at other temperatures. This study found that the phase diagram of the LiBr-Li2SO4-H2O system at 308.15 K consisted of an invariant point, two solid-phase crystallization regions of Li2SO4·H2O and LiBr·2H2O, and their corresponding solubility curves. The system generated two hydrated salts, which belonged to the hydrate type I phase diagram. The phase diagram of the KBr-K2SO4-H2O system at 308.15 K consisted of an invariant point, two univariant solubility curves, and two solid-phase crystallization regions of KBr and K2SO4, and no solid solution and double salts were formed. Thus, it belonged to a simple co-saturation type phase diagram. In the LiBr-Li2SO4-KBr-K2SO4-H2O system, K2SO4·Li2SO4 double salt formed at 308.15 K, and the phase diagram consisted of three invariant points, five crystallization regions, and seven univariant solubility curves.

Abstract
A novel method to generate an aluminum-based MOF material named as MIL-121 was investigated. MIL-121, [Al(OH)(H2BTEC)·(H2O)]n is a prototypal aluminum MOF with 1,2,4,5-benzenetetracarboxylic acid (BTEC) linkers, which was normally produced by the hydrothermal method. Different from the hydrothermal method, the developed novel method does not involve high temperature and high pressure, instead the MOF material was produced by the traditional cooling crystallization method at ambient pressure and low temperature below 100 °C. The MIL-121 obtained by the novel method possesses the same lithium adsorption performance as that obtained by hydrothermal method, but with lower energy consumption and more environmentally friendly. Compared with hydrothermal method, this method has more advantage to be scaled up to industrialized production. The formation mechanism of MIL-121 in the novel method including nucleation and growth process of MOF crystal was studied. The results indicated that the size and morphology of MIL-121 crystals were influenced by the temperature and additives, respectively. As the reaction temperature increased to 100 °C, the operation time can be shortened to 2–5 h. The crystal habit that was predicted by Material studio software using BFDH, which is a model for crystal habit prediction proposed by Bravais, Friedel, Donnay, and Harker based on the crystal lattice parameters and crystal symmetry in the Morphology module, the simulated morphology of MIL-121 was in accord with that of the products obtained by cooling crystallization. The thermal stability of MIL-121 obtained by cooling crystallization is better than that obtained by the hydrothermal method.

Abstract
The interactions between crown ether ligands (14-crown-4, 14C4; 4,4,5,5-tetramethylbenzo-14-crown-4, BC4H12-14C4; 4,4,5,5,9,9,10,10-octamethyl-14-crown-4, C8H24-14C4; dibenzo-14-crown ether-4, DB14C4) and alkaline and alkaline earth metal ions (Li+, Na+, Mg2+) were investigated using density functional theory modeling at the M062X/def2SVP and def2TZVP level. The condensed softness analysis of crown ethers, a condensed Fukui function, a condensed dual descriptor, and frontier molecular orbital theory were used to analyze the reactivities of the complexes. The complex stability was analyzed in terms of the binding energies, standard Gibbs free energy of formation, and energy decomposition of the interaction in aqueous solution. The results show that the active sites were mainly located at the carbon atoms of the benzene ring and oxygen atoms. The reactivities of DB14C4 and BC4H12-14C4 are higher than those of 14C4 and C8H24-14C4. The electrostatic interaction is the principal factor determining the stability of the complexes. The complexes containing Li+ has the greatest stability in aqueous solution among the complexes containing Li+, Na+, and Mg2+. BC4H12-14C4 shows selective adsorption toward Li+ in a mixed solution of Li+, Na+, and Mg2+. To evaluate the stability of complexes containing Mg2+, the solvent effect must be accurately described. An energy decomposition analysis was used to evaluate the stability of complexes containing Li+, Na+, and Mg2+, and the solvent effects were considered.
