Ion Adsorption Science and Technology Group
2. Brief Introduction
The Ion Adsorption Science and Technology Group focuses on addressing the national demand for efficient development of strategic resources in salt lakes, with a research emphasis on dispersed elements in salt lakes. We conduct in-depth studies on interfacial ion transport mechanisms and construct adsorption separation materials. By precisely regulating adsorption sites and pathways within materials and enhancing performance on multiple scales, we aim to increase the recovery efficiency of strategic elements from salt lakes and achieve green, efficient separation of key strategic resources.
The research group currently has 30 members, including 9 full-time staff (1 professor and 3 associate professors). The team is dedicated to the design and synthesis of adsorbents, studies on adsorption mechanisms, and the development of adsorption-separation processes. Our focus includes the extraction or removal of lithium, rubidium, cesium, boron, iodine, and other valuable elements from salt lakes. We design and prepare effective composite and electroactive adsorbents and systematically investigate their functional structures, adsorption/desorption capabilities, and recycling performance. Adsorption mechanisms are explored in depth from the perspectives of electrostatic, hydrophobic, hydrogen bond, precipitation, and coordination interactions, with a goal of developing separation processes for specific application scenarios.
