My PhD project will seek to deliver a new technology for the selective recovery of lithium from the aqueous phase. In particular, the research will focus on developing a mechanistic understanding of how we can develop new approaches in the functionalisation of manganese oxides to enable lithium recovery whilst excluding non-target metals.
- The problem:
- The solution:
- The specific aims of project are to:
- Collect and characterise lithium bearing waters from a variety of sources.
- Determine how we can synthesise, and optimise the application of, next generation functionalised manganese oxides which are selective for lithium removal from complex aqueous matrices.
- Determine what hydrogeochemical conditions are best suited to control and optimise such lithium extraction processes.
