Abstract:
A process for recovery of lithium ions from a lithium-bearing brine includes contacting the lithium-bearing brine with a lithium ion sieve (where that LIS includes an oxide of titanium or niobium) in a first stirred reactor to form a lithium ion complex with the lithium ion sieve, and decomplexing the lithium ion from the lithium ion sieve in a second stirred reactor to form the lithium ion sieve and an acidic lithium salt eluate.

The method includes the steps of preparing a mixture by mixing a reactant for the synthesis of a lithium-manganese oxide precursor powder with an inorganic binder, molding the mixture, preparing a porous lithium-manganese oxide precursor molded body by heat-treating the molded mixture, and acid-treating the porous lithium-manganese oxide precursor molded body such that lithium ions of the porous lithium-manganese oxide precursor are exchanged with hydrogen ions, wherein pores are formed in the lithium-manganese oxide precursor molded body by gas generated in the heat treatment. The porous manganese oxide-based lithium adsorbent according to the present invention is easy to handle and has many more adsorption reaction sites compared to existing molded adsorbents, thus providing high lithium adsorption efficiency.
Abstract:
A catalyst for oligomerizing alpha olefins to produce hydrocarbon oligomers useful as lubricants and lubricant additives comprises a supported reduced Group VIB metal, preferably chromium, in the form of its oxide. The support is a mesoporous, inorganic, crystalline solid of unique structure, of novel pore geometry. The preferred forms of these mesoporous materials are characterized by substantially uniform hexagonal honeycomb microstructure, with uniform pores having a cell diameter greater than 13 .ANG., preferably in the mesoporous range of about 20-100 .ANG.. The use of the catalysts made with the mesoporous support materials enables products of greater viscosity to be made as compared to the products from catalysts using amorphous supports. The catalyst is usually used under oligomerization conditions at a temperature of about 90.degree. to 250.degree. C. to produce liquid hydrocarbon oligomers in the lubricant range which have a branch ratio of less than 0.19 and high values of viscosity index.
