Valorization of olive tree pruning waste for potential utilization in lithium recovery from aqueous solutions

Utilization of Electrodeionization for Lithium Removal

“…Because of its high energy density and electrochemical potential, lithium is used in many kinds of applications, especially in lithium-ion batteries . Lithium is also used in ceramics and glass, air conditioning systems, and the treatment of bipolar disorder. − Because of the increasing use of lithium-ion batteries in various fields, the consumption of lithium has increased, so the recovery and extraction of Li + from aqueous samples have gained traction. , It has also been shown that extracting lithium from various saline waters, such as geothermal water and seawater, which are known to be significant sources of lithium, is less costly than extracting lithium from rocks through mining. − , …”

“…6,7 It has also been shown that extracting lithium from various saline waters, such as geothermal water and seawater, which are known to be significant sources of lithium, is less costly than extracting lithium from rocks through mining. [2][3][4]8 To date, various methods have been used to remove/recover Li + from various water samples. Such methods can be divided into sorption, 9,10 biosorption, 2,4,11 ion exchange, 12,13 solvent extraction, 14,15 precipitation, 16 and membrane processes.…”

Cross-Linked Phosphorylated Cellulose as a Potential Sorbent for Lithium Extraction from Water: Dynamic Column Studies and Modeling

“…42 Recently, microcrystalline cellulose along with hazelnut shell waste and olive pruning waste as natural cellulose resources has been phosphorylated to synthesize lithium-capable low-cost and sustainable sorbents and tested via batch mode sorption studies in our research group. 1,47,48 A batch mode, known as static adsorption, or a continuous flow mode, known as dynamic adsorption in packed bed columns, can be used to design and operate an adsorption system. The material itself merely acts as an adsorbent in batch tests, and metal ions are adsorbed mainly by the surface area of its outer layers, reducing the adsorbent's efficacy.…”

“…As a result, phosphorylated polysaccharides have been exploited as metal-chelating polymers and cation exchange materials for pollution remediation . Recently, microcrystalline cellulose along with hazelnut shell waste and olive pruning waste as natural cellulose resources has been phosphorylated to synthesize lithium-capable low-cost and sustainable sorbents and tested via batch mode sorption studies in our research group. ,, …”
