  • METHODS AND COMPOSITIONS FOR RECOVERY OF LITHIUM FROM LIQUID SOLUTIONS WITH NANOPARTICLES
    Publication number: 20260139343
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates, according to some embodiments, to a method for recovery of lithium ions from a lithium-ion containing liquid, the method comprising the steps of coating a nanoparticle with a styrene monomer; polymerizing the styrene monomer to form a polystyrene-coated nanoparticle; attaching a dibenzo-12-crown-4-ether to the polystyrene-coated nanoparticle to form a lithium adsorbing medium; exposing the lithium ion-containing liquid to the lithium adsorbing medium to form a lithium-rich adsorbing medium; and extracting the lithium ion from the lithium-rich adsorbing medium.

  • PURIFICATION OF AQUEOUS SOLUTIONS FROM METAL CONTAMINATION WITH ACTIVATED MANGANESE DIOXIDE
    Publication number: 20180319689
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates, according to some embodiments, to systems and methods for removal of contaminants from water including, but not limited to, industrial wastewater, brackish water, municipal wastewater, drinking waters, and particularly waters obtained from fracking operations. For example, a method for purifying a feed water composition may comprise (a) contacting the feed water composition with an activated manganese dioxide to form an activated manganese dioxide-containing feed water composition, where the activated manganese dioxide was formed by contacting soluble organics with soluble permanganate ions (MnO4?) at a pH from about 5.
