Bq. Zhang et Cq. Huang, STUDIES ON IONIC-EXCHANGE BEHAVIOR OF EMD AND SELECTIVE ADSORPTION OFLITHIUM IONS BY EMD IONIC-SIEVE METHOD, Gaodeng xuexiao huaxue xuebao, 17(8), 1996, pp. 1195-1197
Fibrous electrolytic manganese dioxide(EMD) was prepared from manganou
s chloride solution by electrolyzing at 90 similar to 95 degrees C wit
h graphite anode, EMD has the exchange properties with cations in aque
ous chloride solutions, A lithium type ionic-sieve made from EMD subst
rate may be used, for selective adsorption of trace lithium from sea w
ater with an efficiency of about 90% yield.
