“…As a potential source of Li supply is the ocean, which contains ∼2.6 × 10 11 tons of Li. However, the concentration of Li + is low (0.17 ppm), and extraction from seawater is difficult. , To date, many strategies have been developed to recover Li + , including adsorption, solvent extraction, ion exchange, precipitation, and dialysis-based methods. − Among these methods, adsorption is a competitive approach to selectively extract Li + from the mix of ions typically present in seawater (e.g., Li + , Na + , Mg 2+ , K + , and Ca 2+ ). , …”

The extraction of lithium from seawater has attracted much interest as a means to meet increasing demand for lithium with the rapid expansion of the electric vehicle and electronics markets. Herein, a renewable and recyclable hydrogen manganese oxide (HMO)-modified cellulose film was developed and investigated toward the extraction of lithium from lithium-containing aqueous solutions. The porous film was characterized, and its extraction efficacy and selectivity toward lithium from an aqueous solution (ppm level) and seawater (ppb level) were investigated. The HMO/cellulose film exhibited a higher Li+ adsorption capacity (21.6 mg g–1 HMO) than HMO/polymer (e.g., poly(vinyl chloride) or poly(vinylidene fluoride)) films, which have been examined in the literature for lithium extraction, because of its multidimensional porosity and hydrophilicity. The kinetics analysis based on a pseudo-second-order model indicated that the Li+ extraction rate of the HMO/cellulose film was 3 times higher than that achieved by the HMO particle alone (i.e., 0.075; cf. 0.023 g mg–1 h–1). Furthermore, the HMO/cellulose film displayed high selectivity for Li+ when exposed to seawaterthe extraction of Li+ reached 99%, whereas that of the other ions present in seawater (i.e., Sr2+, K+, and Ca2+) was <4%. In addition, the adsorption capacity and mechanical strength of the HMO/cellulose film remained stable even after eight adsorption–desorption cycles. The present findings demonstrate the potential of the present HMO/cellulose film for the recovery of Li+ from seawater or wastewater.

“…In recent years, a wide range of membrane-based processes have been developed, particularly for lithium recovery from brines and seawater. Apart from typical pressure-driven membrane separation processes, such as nanofiltration (NF) [47], many integrated membrane-conventional methods and hybrid processes have also been reported, including membrane-electrodialysis [32], membrane-adsorption [48], and membrane-solvent extraction [49].…”

The exponential rise in lithium demand over the last decade, as one of the largest sources for energy storage in terms of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), has posed a great threat to the existing lithium supply and demand balance. The current methodologies available for lithium extraction, separation and recovery, both from primary (brines/seawater) and secondary (LIBs) sources, suffer not only at the hands of excessive use of chemicals but complicated, time-consuming and environmentally detrimental design procedures. Researchers across the world are working to review and update the available technologies for lithium harvesting in terms of their economic and feasibility analysis. Following its excessive consumption of sustainable energy resources, its demand has risen sharply and therefore requires urgent attention. In this paper, different available methodologies for lithium extraction and recycling from the most abundant primary and secondary lithium resources have been reviewed and compared. This review also includes the prospects of using membrane technology as a promising replacement for conventional methods.

Rapid developments in the electric industry have promoted an increasing demand for lithium resources. Lithium in salt lake brines has emerged as the main source for industrial lithium extraction, owing to its low cost and extensive reserves. The effective separation of Mg 2? and Li ? is critical to achieving high recovery efficiency and purity of the final lithium product. This paper summarizes Mg 2? /Li ? separation materials and methods in the field of lithium recovery from salt lake brines. The review begins with an introduction to the global distribution and demand for lithium resources, followed by a description of the materials used in various separation techniques, including precipitation, adsorption, solvent extraction, nanofiltration membrane, electrodialysis, and electrochemical methods. A comparison, analysis, and outlook of such methods are comprehensively discussed in terms of principles, mechanisms, synthesis/operation, development, and industrial applications. We conclude with a presentation of challenges and insights into the future directions of lithium extraction from salt lake brines. A combination of the advantages of various materials is the most logical step toward developing novel methods for extracting lithium from brines with high separation selectivity, stability, low cost, and environmentally friendly characteristics.
