Removal of lithium from aqueous solutions by precipitation with sodium and choline alkanoate soaps†
In order to comply with the expected tightening of discharge limits for lithium to surface waters, the lithium-ion battery industry will need access to methods to reduce the concentration of lithium in wastewater down to ppm levels. In this Communication, we discuss the possibility of using sodium and choline soaps as precipitating agents for lithium, comparing the two soap classes and probing the influence of the carbon chain length. It was found that lithium concentrations down to 10 ppm can be reached with sodium stearate, and down to 1 ppm with choline stearate, using a slight excess of the precipitating agent. However, in solutions containing sodium salts, sodium interferes with lithium removal, such that the equilibrium lithium concentration is proportional to the concentration of sodium in the feed. After precipitation, lithium could be recovered from the precipitate by dissolution in an ethanolic hydrogen chloride solution.
期刊介绍:
Green Chemistry is a journal that provides a unique forum for the publication of innovative research on the development of alternative green and sustainable technologies. The scope of Green Chemistry is based on the definition proposed by Anastas and Warner (Green Chemistry: Theory and Practice, P T Anastas and J C Warner, Oxford University Press, Oxford, 1998), which defines green chemistry as the utilisation of a set of principles that reduces or eliminates the use or generation of hazardous substances in the design, manufacture and application of chemical products. Green Chemistry aims to reduce the environmental impact of the chemical enterprise by developing a technology base that is inherently non-toxic to living things and the environment. The journal welcomes submissions on all aspects of research relating to this endeavor and publishes original and significant cutting-edge research that is likely to be of wide general appeal. For a work to be published, it must present a significant advance in green chemistry, including a comparison with existing methods and a demonstration of advantages over those methods.
