Abstract: The adsorption method is an important method for extracting liquid lithium resources, among which manganese-based ion-sieve adsorbent has great application potential. However, there are still some technical problems such as complex preparation methods and a high Mn dissolution loss rate. In this work, a composite precursor of Li4Mn5O12·Li2MnO3 was prepared by solid-phase method. The synthesized precursor was analyzed and characterized by XRD, SEM, TEM, XPS, thermostats, specific surface area and pore size, and the adsorption performance and cycle stability of Li+ in liquid by the semi-coated Mn-based composite lithium ion-sieve were studied. The results showed that Li4Mn5O12 and Li2MnO3 combine in polyphase symbiosis, and the semi-coated structure increases the stability of the lithium ion-sieve. The adsorption of Li+ by a semi-coated Mn-based composite lithium ion-sieve is chemical monolayer adsorption, and the increase in temperature is beneficial to the adsorption process. The adsorption capacity of the semi-coated Mn-based composite lithium ion-sieve is 26.51 mg/g, and the adsorption capacity loss is only 3.82% after five cycles, while that of the uncoated lithium ion-sieve is as high as 12.6%. Meanwhile, the Mn dissolution loss rate is only 0.83% after five cycles, which is significantly lower than that of the uncoated lithium ion-sieve (2.06%). The semi-coated Mn-based composite lithium ion-sieve prepared in this work is expected to be used for the extraction of liquid lithium resources.
