Efficient lithium recovery, especially from water sources, is essential due to the growing demand need for LIB recycling. Adsorption technology is effective for this purpose, but traditional powder adsorbents present operational challenges. To overcome this, 3D printing allows for the preparation of solid monolith adsorbents with improved mechanical stability and reusability. In this work, a polyamide-lithium titanium oxide composite (PA2200-Li<sub>2</sub>TiO<sub>3</sub>) was 3D-printed using selective laser sintering technology. The composite was characterized using SEM-EDS, TEM, XRD, Raman spectroscopy, TGA and XPS. The adsorbent exhibited up to 87 % lithium adsorption efficiency at a concentration of 20 mg/L and showed high selectivity for lithium over sodium (Li/Na ≈ 37.4) and potassium (Li/K ≈ 60.5). A mechanism involving Li<sup>+</sup> ion adsorption and transport through Li<sub>2</sub>TiO<sub>3</sub>’s structural channels has been proposed, with dynamic simulations suggesting that lithium ions preferentially diffuse through these channels due to their geometric and energetic configuration. Thermodynamic studies confirmed an endothermic adsorption process with enhanced performance at higher temperatures. Regeneration tests demonstrated only a 7 % reduction in adsorption efficiency after three cycles, indicating structural stability and the potential for scalable application in lithium recovery processes.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":18594,"journal":{"name":"Minerals Engineering","volume":"231 ","pages":"Article 109470"},"PeriodicalIF":4.9,"publicationDate":"2025-05-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144168781","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The bulk of the ore was occupied by clay and silicate minerals including mica, quartz, K-silicates, and Na-silicates. Subsequently, magnetic separation tests were conducted on the ore using a wet high intensity magnetic separator (WHIMS), where the relative effects of applied magnetic field intensity, matrix type, feed mass, feed desliming, and concentrate regrinding on REE minerals recovery were investigated. Experimental results showed that increasing magnetic field intensity and using fine expanded metal matrix enhanced REE minerals recovery, although concentrate grade was compromised.

This study addresses this challenge by leveraging the reductive thermal properties of starch within an alkaline thermal environment to facilitate the transformation and recovery of iron oxides. We systematically investigated the effects of various process parameters, and analyzed hematite transformation using X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray fluorescence (XRF), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and chemical analysis.

This paper aims to investigate the feasibility of PC using waste glass powder (WGP) and waste glass sand (WGS), and conducts a synergistic optimization design for various performance indicators of PC. The study shows that the addition of WGP weakens the permeability and deformation performance of PC, while improving its mechanical properties. The optimal WGP content is 20 %. The addition of WGS reduces the permeability of PC while improving its deformation performance and mechanical properties. Based on comprehensive evaluation of PC performance indicators, the following recommendations are proposed: For coarse aggregates with particle sizes of 4.75–9.5 mm, 20 % WGP and 15 % WGS are recommended to achieve a flexural-tensile strength of 5.1 MPa (&gt;4.5 MPa) and a permeability coefficient of 1.64 mm/s, which is suitable for medium-load pavements. For coarse aggregates with particle sizes of 9.5–16 mm, 20 % WGP and 15 %–20 % WGS are recommended to attain a flexural-tensile strength &gt;3.5 MPa and a permeability coefficient &gt;0.5 mm/s, which is applicable to light-load pavements. All parameters meet the technical requirements of the Specifications for Design of Highway Cement Concrete Pavement (JTG D40-2011).
