Methods of recovering alkali metals
| DWPI Title: Recovering alkali metals, comprises scavenging alkali metal species from liquid mixture comprising alkali metal species by alkali metal scavenger material and extracting the species by exposing the material to ion e.g. ammonium ions |
| Abstract: Approaches for alkali metal extraction, sequestration and recovery are described. For example, a method of recovering alkali metals includes providing a CST or CST-like (e.g., small pore zeolite) material. The alkali metal species is scavenged from the liquid mixture by the CST or CST-like material. The alkali metal species is extracted from the CST or CST-like material. |
| Use: The methods are useful for recovering alkali metals. |
| Novelty: Recovering (I) alkali metals, comprises: providing an alkali metal scavenger material; scavenging alkali metal species from a liquid mixture comprising the alkali metal species, by the alkali metal scavenger material; and extracting the alkali metal species from the alkali metal scavenger material, where step of extracting the alkali metal species from the alkali metal scavenger material comprises exposing the alkali metal scavenger material to an ion comprising ammonium ions, alkyl-ammonium ions, or silver ions. |
