Development of highly selective composite polymeric membranes for Li+/Mg2+ sepa...
Saif, Hafiz Muhammad; Huertas, Rosa Maria; Pawlowski, Sylwin; Crespo, João Goulão; Velizarov, SvetlozarTo meet the exponentially rising demand for lithium, it becomes vital to develop environmentally friendly processes for its recovery from brines, salt lakes and/or seawater. In this work, novel composite lithium transport selective polymeric membranes were developed to separate lithium and magnesium ions. Hydrogen manganese oxide (HMO) (at weight percentage from 0 to 25%), polystyrene sulfonate sodium salt (PSS...
