| Abstract Scope |
With the development of new technologies and the progressive increase in demand for lithium, the adsorption method is one of the most promising methods for lithium extraction from brine.
In this study, the characterization of an adsorbent material synthesized by Gibbsite was investigated using X-ray Diffraction (XRD), X-ray Fluorescence (XRF), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Surface Area Analysis (BET) and Pore Size and Volume Analysis (BET-BJH), developed Langmuir curves, along with lithium extraction tests.
The results obtained in the characterization in the use of Adsorbent (double aluminum lithium hydroxide (LiAl2(OH)6ClH2O) and the selective separation tests of lithium even in the presence of magnesium chloride in synthetic brine, obtained a promising recovery of 90% in the adsorption of a reference synthetic brine to the brine of Uyuni-Bolivia, in a reduced time, will allow the synthesis of its processing, thus highlighting its applicability in industrial processes of extraction. |
