    Abstract: A method for preparing a lithium extraction adsorbent and an application of the lithium extraction adsorbent are provided. The method includes: (i) forming a homogeneous casting liquid by stirring a metal-based lithium ion sieve, an organic carrier, and a functional material; (ii) adding the homogeneous casting liquid dropwise to a solidifying liquid to obtain gel particles, wherein the solidifying liquid consists of sodium hydroxide and ethanol; and (iii) washing the gel particles to neutrality with deionized water to obtain washed gel particles, followed by placing the washed gel particles in a glutaraldehyde solution for stirring to crosslink for 0.5 h to 12 h to obtain crosslinked gel particles, freeze-drying the crosslinked gel particles to obtain the lithium extraction adsorbent, wherein a usage condition of the lithium extraction adsorbent includes: before use, activating the lithium extraction adsorbent by placing the lithium extraction adsorbent into an alkali activator for stirring for 0.5 h to 12 h, and washing the lithium extraction adsorbent to neutrality with deionized water.

    Abstract: This invention generally relates to a process for manufacturing a lithium selective adsorbent and, more particularly, to a process for manufacturing a lithium selective adsorbent using a recycled and augmented intercalation reaction liquor. An initial quantity of adsorbent precursor is intercalated with lithium using an intercalation reaction liquor to produce an intercalated layered aluminate adsorbent and a post-intercalation reaction liquor. The post-intercalation reaction liquor is decanted, and the intercalated layered aluminate adsorbent is neutralized to produce the lithium selective adsorbent. The decanted intercalation reaction liquor is reconstituted to a pre-intercalation reaction volume of the intercalation reaction liquor, which is recycled to intercalate a subsequent quantity of adsorbent precursor.
