Recyclable composite nanofiber adsorbent for Li+ recovery from seawater desalination retentate

Composite poly(acrylonitrile) (PAN) nanofibers with H1.6Mn1.6O4 (HMO) lithium ion-sieves were prepared, characterized and tested for lithium ion (Li+) recovery. Nanofibers were prepared by electrospinning 10wt% HMO/PAN dope solutions in dimethylformamide with varied HMO loadings. Characterizations p...

Description
Summary:Composite poly(acrylonitrile) (PAN) nanofibers with H1.6Mn1.6O4 (HMO) lithium ion-sieves were prepared, characterized and tested for lithium ion (Li+) recovery. Nanofibers were prepared by electrospinning 10wt% HMO/PAN dope solutions in dimethylformamide with varied HMO loadings. Characterizations performed via XRD, SEM-EDS, capillary flow porometry and mechanical testing revealed highly porous, mechanically and chemically stable composite nanofibers with high water absorption capacity. The similar nanofiber diameters (
