(2) Hydroxyl and carboxyl can improve the adsorbent powder content (3) in the granule through hydrogen bond adsorbent powder and cross-link the shaping the second time, these carboxyl and hydroxyl structure can last to have an adsorption effect to the adsorbent powder, still have an adsorption effect to the adsorbent powder after adsorbing the desorption many times, therefore finished product polymer granule has longer life (4) first polymer has the long chain structure, the polymer long chain has better acid and alkali resistance, the stable performance, it is stable at secondary crosslinking or later stage acid desorption in-process adsorbent granule base member.
The second polymer is one or a mixture of more than two of isobutene-maleic anhydride copolymer, sodium polyacrylate, polyacrylamide-maleic anhydride copolymer, polyvinyl alcohol-maleic anhydride copolymer, polyvinylpyrrolidone, polyethylene glycol and polyethylene oxide; the second polymer is also a long carbon chain polymer, and unlike the first polymer, the aqueous solution of the second polymer is more viscous and has more carboxyl, amine, etc. groups, and the polymer functions (1) to assist the adsorption effect of the first polymer on the adsorbent powder, if only the first polymer, such as LiMn, is used2O4And the powder can fall off in the process of multiple adsorption and desorption of the powder particles. (2) The filling amount of the adsorbent powder can be increased (3), the first polymer and the second polymer can form an interpenetrating network copolymer structure through first crosslinking and second crosslinking after being uniformly mixed, the finished product particles have two crosslinking structures of polyvalent metal ion crosslinking and chemical crosslinking, the structure can increase the strength and toughness of a polymer material, the strength of the finished product adsorbent particles is high, and the dissolution loss and the falling off of the adsorbent powder are reduced in the using process.
The third polymer is one or a mixture of more than two of chitosan, gelatin, pectin, carrageenan, sodium alginate, sodium carboxymethylcellulose, water-soluble cellulose, guar gum and soluble starch. The third type of polymer is (1) natural polysaccharide polymer extracted from animal and plant species, the polymer can be cross-linked with the first type of polymer and the second type of polymer, and can also form an interpenetrating network structure with the first type of polymer and the second type of polymer, (2) the third type of polymer is generally soft, and the hardness and the water content of the adsorbent particles can be adjusted by adding the third type of polymer in a small amount in the system.
The primary crosslinking has the following characteristics: (1) boric acid is crosslinked with hydroxyl in the first polymer, carboxyl in the second polymer is crosslinked with polyvalent metal ions in the first crosslinking agent, so that viscous polymer solution is changed into a solidification form capable of being processed and granulated flexibly (2) in the first crosslinking process, the polymer matrix can almost completely adsorb the adsorbent powder into a solidification phase without loss, therefore, expensive adsorbent powder cannot be wasted (3) the crosslinking of boric acid in the first crosslinking is reversible, and the other main function is to play a temporary binding role on the polymer matrix, and the granulation can be processed after the first crosslinking.
The drying process after the primary crosslinking is a key step, free water and most of bound water in the system can be removed in the process, the distance between polymer molecules is shortened, the free volume is reduced, secondary crosslinking is facilitated, and the particle strength is increased. If not dried, the second crosslinked particles are not strong enough to break or fail to crosslink.
The secondary crosslinking process has the following characteristics: (1) the boric acid crosslinking in the primary crosslinking is reversible, and under the action of an aqueous solution, boric acid crosslinking points in the primary crosslinking are slowly released again in the second crosslinking agent, and the second crosslinking agent is crosslinked with hydroxyl or carboxyl to form a stable crosslinking structure. (2) After the second crosslinking, the crosslinking structure of the boric acid crosslinking points in the adsorbent particles disappears, and the polyvalent metal ion crosslinking points still exist, so that the adsorbent particles form a double crosslinking structure of polyvalent metal ions and chemical crosslinking after the second crosslinking. In fact, there are a very large number of hydroxyl or carboxyl groups in the polymer, and boric acid does not react with all of the hydroxyl groups for the first crosslinking, and there are many hydroxyl groups. The polyvalent metal ion does not react with all of the carboxyl groups, and there are carboxyl groups remaining. Therefore, in the second crosslinking, the crosslinking agent is crosslinked with the hydroxyl group resolved by boric acid and also with other hydroxyl groups.
Meanwhile, the water-absorbing polymer (the first polymer, the second polymer and the third polymer are water-absorbing polymers) has a strong adsorption effect on the lithium ion sieve-type adsorbent powder, and the adsorbent loss and the dissolution loss caused by water flow scouring are effectively reduced. The resin matrix resists strong acid and strong alkali, the polyhydroxy structure on the surface of the matrix can effectively adsorb adsorbent powder, the dissolution loss rate is effectively reduced, the resin matrix can be applied to extraction of lithium elements in salt lake original brine, old brine, seawater and underground water resources, and meanwhile, the high-strength corrosion-resistant matrix is suitable for an industrial adsorption column process.
The method for preparing the lithium ion sieve adsorbent particles specifically comprises the following steps: dissolving a plurality of water-absorbing polymers to obtain a mixed polymer solution, adding lithium ion sieve adsorbent powder into the mixed polymer solution, uniformly mixing at 20-80 ℃, adding a certain amount of first cross-linking agent into the slurry to prepare a granulation precursor, solidifying the mixed polymer solution by viscous liquid after contacting the first cross-linking agent solution, and performing granulation processing, wherein the other function of the first cross-linking is to control the structure and time of the second cross-linking.
