Preparation of W-doped titanium lithium ion sieve by hydrothermal method and enhanced adsorption performance for Li+
摘要
Titanium lithium ion sieve (Ti-LIS) has attracted much attention due to their excellent adsorption properties and easy preparation process. In this study, the Li2TiO3 with different doping amounts of W (LTWO) was synthesized by the hydrothermal method. Then, the LTWO was washed with HCl to obtain the adsorbent of W-doped H2TiO3 (HTWO). The structure and adsorption properties of HTWO-4 were tested and the results showed that the introduction of W into HTWO leads to lattice defects, which increase oxygen vacancies and promote Li+ diffusion in the adsorbent. The effects of adsorption time, initial Li⁺ concentration, and pH on the adsorption properties of Li⁺ were systematically evaluated. The adsorption process of HTWO was confirmed as chemisorption and monolayer adsorption by simulating the pseudo-second-order kinetic model and Langmuir model. Among them, HTWO-4 exhibits a higher adsorption capacity than others, with a value of 34.68 mg/g in a LiCl solution (Li+ = 210 mg/L). Additionally, the HTWO-4 exhibits superior adsorption selectivity of Li+ over Mg2+, Ca2+, K+, and Na+, maintaining a high Li+ adsorption capacity after five regeneration cycles. This work provides an ideal candidate adsorbent in the field of lithium resource utilization.
