Teknolojik açıdan kritik öneme sahip lityumun yer kabuğunda geniş bir alana yayılmamış olması, farklı lityum kaynaklarının araştırılmasının önünü açmıştır. Lityum geri kazanımı için yapılan uygulamalardan biri de adsorpsiyon yöntemidir. Çözelti ortamındaki lityum iyonlarını almak için etkili adsorban özelliklerine sahip lityum-iyon elekleri sentezlenmeye başlanmıştır. Yüksek lityum seçicilikleri nedeniyle lityum mangan oksit iyon elekleri, lityum kaynaklarından lityum geri kazanımı için en umut verici iyon elekleridir. Bu çalışmada başlangıç malzemesi olarak KMnO4 ve MnCl2 stokiyometrik olarak tercih edilmiştir. Ayrıca farklı kütle oranlarında (%0, %5, %10 ve %20) KCl eklenmiştir. Öğütme süresi sırasıyla 1, 2, 3 ve 4 saattir. Daha sonra kalsinasyon ve lityum emdirme işlemlerinden sonra asit ile aktive edilen lityum mangan oksit eleklerin lityum adsorpsiyon kapasiteleri araştırılmıştır. AAS ile yapılan ölçümler sonucunda çözeltide en az mangan iyonunun tespit edildiği koşullar %20 KCl ilaveli ve 2 saat öğütme süreli iyon elek numunesi olmuştur. Bu koşullar altında sentezlenen iyon eleğin lityum adsorpsiyon veriminin %50,74 civarında olduğu tespit edilmiştir.

Technologically critical lithium has not spread over a wide area in the earth's crust, which paved the way for investigating different lithium sources. One of the applications for lithium recovery is the adsorption method. Lithium-ion sieves with effective adsorbent properties have begun to be synthesized to take lithium ions in the solution medium. Due to their high lithium selectivity, lithium manganese oxide ion sieves are the most promising ion sieves for the recovery of lithium from lithium sources. In this study, KMnO4 and MnCl2 were preferred as starting materials stoichiometrically. In addition, KCl was added at different mass ratios (0%, 5%, 10% and 20%). Grinding time is 1, 2, 3, and 4 hours, respectively. Then, the lithium adsorption capacities of lithium manganese oxide sieves activated with acid after calcination and lithium impregnation processes were investigated. As a result of the measurements made with AAS, the conditions in which the least manganese ions were detected in the solution were the ion sieve sample with 20% KCl addition and 2 hours of grinding time. It was determined that the lithium adsorption efficiency of the ion sieve synthesized under these conditions was around 50.74%.
