Preliminary studies of lithium recovery technology from seawater by electrodialysis using ionic liquid membrane

Lithium Metal Extraction from Seawater

“…Hoshino reported using an electrodialysis method for lithium concentration with an organic lithium-ion-selective membrane. 9 In that work, the lithium concentration on the negative side increased from 0% to 22.2% of the lithium concentration in seawater after 2 hr of operation. In another study, Hoshino employed the dialysis method to achieve the concentration of lithium.…”

Effect of chemical treatments on lithium recovery process of activated carbons

“…Therefore, many researchers have interested in fields of the recycling useful metals from seawater. Although the concentration of lithium is very low about 17 ppm, but seawater contain enormous quantity of the element lithium about 260 billion tons [7,8]. From now, many researchers have studied various techniques for lithium recovery from seawater and the salt lakes, such as solvent extraction [9], membrane processes, ion exchange resins [10], co-precipatation [11], and adsorption [12,13].…”

Hybrid Cation Exchange Membranes with Lithium Ion‐Sieves for Highly Enhanced Li+ Permeation and Permselectivity

“…Increasing demands for lithium or lithium‐containing compounds for applications in lithium‐ion battery, heat‐resistant glass ceramic, and pharmaceutical, have stimulated an intensive search for efficient, energy‐saving lithium extraction techniques . Considering the pollution and exhaustion around lithium ore, lithium extraction from salt‐lake brine shows great superiority owing to the high lithium concentration.…”

“…Increasing demands for lithium or lithium-containing compounds for applications in lithium-ion battery, heat-resistant glass ceramic, and pharmaceutical, have stimulated an intensive search for efficient, energy-saving lithium extraction techniques. [1][2][3][4] Considering the pollution and exhaustion around lithium ore, lithium extraction from salt-lake brine shows great www.advancedsciencenews.com www.mme-journal.de hand to improve the compatibility with organic matrix for enhanced mechanical stability. [22] Despite advances, high-performance hybrid CEMs have been rarely reported until now because of the lack of inorganic fillers with highly selective and low-barrier Li + transfer channels.…”
