The precursor Li1.6Mn1.6O4 of lithium ion sieve was prepared with a selective starting reagents MnCl2•4H2O and LiOH•H2O by soft chemistry route such as sol-gel, hydrothermal and heat treatment. After extraction of Li from Li1.6Mn1.6O4 with dilute hydrochloric acid, a high selective ion sieve for lithium MnO2•0.5H2O was obtained. The influence of Li∶Mn molar ratio and dosage of oxidant on the ion sieve character was discussed, and the adsorption properties were also studied. The results suggest that the lithium ion sieve prepared by soft chemistry route has high selectivity and adsorption capacity to Li, and it is potential to be used in enrichment and recovery of lithium from seawater and other liquid lithium source.

Key words: lithium ion sieve, adsorption, soft chemistry route, lithium recovery
