Continuous lithium mining from aqueous resources by an adsorbent filter with a 3D polymeric nanofiber network infused with ion sieves

摘要
Adsorbent filter with 3D nanofiber (NF) network was fabricated via electrospinning. NF contained hydrophilic polyacrylonitrile matrix infused with lithium ion sieves. NF adsorbent filter exhibited high water flux, low pressure requirement, and effective Li capture. Breakthrough studies fitted with nine well-known models reveal the suitability of Bohart-Adams. Feed can be continuously fed through the NF to collect and concentrate Li from aqueous resources.
