Abstract The lithium ion sieve H1.6Mn1.6O4 (LIS) was used as the adsorbent and the ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer (EVOH) was used as the molding substrate to prepare the ethylene-vinyl alcohol/lithium ion sieve (LIS) hollow fiber membrane composite adsorbent. The content of vinyl in EVOH was changed to control the hydrophilicity of the molding material. The effect of the hydrophilicity of the substrate on the molding structure, LIS loading and lithium extraction performance was studied. The results showed that the stronger the hydrophilicity of the molding material, the higher the porosity of the composite adsorbent and the more uniform dispersion of LIS. On the other hand, the hydrophilicity of molding material also had a certain influence on the addition amount of LIS. The maximum content of LIS in composite adsorbent was 30wt% when EVOH-32 is molding material. However,the maximum content of LIS in composite adsorbent was 50wt% when EVOH-38 and EVOH-44 were molding material. In addition, the hydrophilicity of the molding material significantly improved the Li+ adsorption capacity, adsorption rate and adsorption-desorption cycle stability of composite adsorbent. Among them, the adsorption capacity of EVOH-32/LIS-30 composite adsorbent remained at 95.8% of the initial Li+ adsorption capacity after cyclic adsorption for 5 times, showing good adsorption stability. Finally, the suitable hydrophilic EVOH-38 was selected as molding material to prepare the EVOH-38/LIS-50 hollow fiber membrane composite adsorbent, whose adsorption capacity for Li+ was 29.6 mg·g-1 (93.9% of the adsorption capacity of LIS powder). In the simulated brine with a lithium magnesium ratio higher than 400, the αLi Mg was as high as 559.5, indicating that the composite adsorbent could be used to extract lithium in the brine with a high magnesium lithium ratio.
