Research Abstract

For developing highly-selective adsorbents for lithium and boron together with simultaneous recovery process of the rare metals from geothermal water, we have investigated (1) the development of inorganic adsorbents having ion-size recognition and their granulation method, (2) the elucidation of mechanisms of adsorption equilibria and kinetics of lithium and boron, (3) fundamental experiments of recovery of lithium and boron from artificial geothermal water using adsorption columns, (4) fundamental experiments of simultaneous recovery of lithium and boron from geothermal water, and (5) practical experiments of simultaneous recovery process of lithium and boron from geothermal water.
