Porcelain with high thermal shock resistance was successfully fabricated by a lithium solution infiltration method with a lithium hydroxide solution. Lithium hydroxide solutions having various lithium concentrations were infiltrated into pre-sintered porcelain bodies. The porcelain sample infiltrated by the 9 wt% lithium solution and heat treated at $1250^{\circ}C$ for 1 h showed a low thermal expansion coefficient of $1.0{\times}10^{-6}/^{\circ}C$ with excellent thermal shock resistance. The highly thermally resistant porcelain had a well-developed ${\beta}$-spodumene phase with the general phases observed in porcelain. Furthermore, the porcelain showed a denser structure of $2.41g/cm^3$ sintering density and excellent whiteness in comparison with commercial thermally resistible porcelains. The lithium hydroxide in the samples readily reacted with moisture, and liquid phase reactants were formed during the fabrication process. In the case of an excess amount of lithium in the sample body, the lithium reactants were forced to the surface and re-crystallized at the surface, leaving large pores beneath the surface. These phenomena resulted in an irregular structure in the surface area and led to cracking in samples subjected to a thermal shock test.

본 연구는 수산화리튬, 염화리튬, 그리고 황산리튬을 이용한 리튬 함유 용액과 $CO_2$ 가스와의 기상-액상 반응을 통하여 탄산리튬 분말을 제조하는 실험을 실시하였다. 열역학적으로 리튬 함유 용액의 탄산화 반응에서 수산화리튬은 자발적으로 일어나지만, 염화리튬과 황산리튬은 비자발적이었다. 수산화리튬의 경우, $25^{\circ}C$의 반응온도에서 탄산리튬의 회수율이 69.8 %였으며, $60^{\circ}C$에서는 89.4 %로 증가하였다. 염화리튬과 황산리튬의 경우, 수산화나트륨을 첨가제로 사용하여 탄산리튬을 제조할 수 있었으나, 회수율은 각각 19.2 %와 16.7 %로 비효율적임을 알 수 있었다.

Dialysis is the rate-limiting step in the preparation of aqueous silk fibroin (SF) solution. However, the traditional practice of dialyzing SF solution for at least 48 h to remove LiBr is not based on empirical evidence. The aim of the present study was to systematically measure LiBr content in SF solutions dialyzed for varying lengths of time and assess the potential toxicity of residual lithium ions in cells. Complete removal of lithium ions was not achieved even after 72 h of dialysis, with a residual lithium ion content in the solution of 22.85 mg/l. SF films prepared from solutions dialyzed for 8 and 24 h had predominantly random coil or b-sheet structures, respectively. The residual lithium had little cytotoxicity in NIH3T3 fibroblast cells, but viability was compromised in cells grown on SF film prepared from solution dialyzed for 24 h.

In order to recover lithium ions from aqueous solution, a novel SAN-LMO beads were prepared by immobilizing lithium manganese oxide (LMO) with styrene acrylonitrile copolymers (SAN). The optimum condition for synthesis of SAN-LMO beads was 5 g of LMO and 3 g of SAN content. The characterization of the prepared SAN-LMO beads by SEM and XRD were confirmed that LMO was immobilized in SAN-LMO beads. The removal and the distribution coefficient of lithium ions decreased with increasing lithium ion concentration and solution pH. Even when the prepared SAN-LMO beads were reused 5 times, the leakage of LMO and the damage of SAN-LMO beads was not observed.

Separation of lithium isotopes was investigated by chemical ion exchange with a hydrous manganese(IV) oxide ion exchanger using an elution chromatography. The capacity of manganese(IV) oxide ion exchanger was 0.5 meq/g. One molar CH3COO Na solution was used as an eluent. The heavier isotope of lithium was enriched in the solution phase, while the lighter isotope was enriched in the ion exchanger phase. The separation factor was calculated according to the method of Glueckauf from the elution curve and isotopic assays. The single stage separation factor of lithium isotope pair fractionation was 1.021.

폐리튬인산철 전지의 양극재로부터 리튬을 효율적으로 회수하기 위하여 활발하게 연구 중이며, 이는 리튬 자원의 지역 편재성 및 가격 변동성을 해소하고 환경오염 문제를 해결할 수 있다. 폐리튬인산철 전지로부터 리튬을 침출 및 회수하기 위하여 동형치환 침출 공정을 사용하였다. 상대적으로 저렴한 염화철 에칭액을 침출제로 사용하여 LFP의 Fe²⁺를 동형 치환하여 리튬을 침출하였다. 또한 추가적인 첨가제 및 추출제 없이 염화철 에칭액만을 사용하였으며, 염화철 에칭액을 LFP 이론적 몰 비 대비 0.7배, 1.0배, 1.3배, 그리고 1.6배로 하여 리튬의 침출율을 비교하였다. LFP 몰 비 대비 1.3배의 조건에서 약 98%로 가장 높은 리튬 침출율을 보였고 이후 침출액은 NaOH를 투입하여 pH 조절을 통하여 철을 제거하였다. 철이 제거된 용액으로부터 탄산리튬을 합성하였고, 그 분말 특성을 확인하였다.

This study examined the morphological changes in lithium surface immersed in 1mol $dm^{-3}$ (M) $LiPF_6 $ dissolved in propylene carbonate (PC) containing different 1,2-dimethoxyethane (DME) concentrations as a co-solvent. A passivation film was formed on the surface of lithium metal by electrolyte decomposition. The passivation film formation reactions were significantly affected by the amount of co-solvent, DME, in electrolyte solution. A stable film was obtained from the 1 M $LiPF_6 $ / PC:DME (67:33) solution in which lithium electrode showed good electrochemical performances. Atomic force microscope (AFM) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) results revealed that there were no direct correlations between changes in the surface morphology of lithium metal and the resistance behavior of its passivation film.

This study examined the electrochemical deposition and dissolution of lithium on nickel electrodes in 1 mol $dm^{-3}$ (M) $LiPF_6$ dissolved in propylene carbonate (PC) containing different 1,2-dimethoxyethane (DME) concentrations as a co-solvent. The DME concentration was found to have a significant effect on the reactions occurring at the electrode. The poor cycleability of the electrodes in the pure PC solution was improved considerably by adding small amounts of DME. This results suggested that the dendritic lithium growth could be suppressed by using co-solvents. After hundredth cycling in the 1 M $LiPF_6$/PC:DME (67:33) solution, almost no dead lithium has been found from the disassembled cell, resulting from suppression of dendritic lithium growth. Scanning electron microscopy revealed that dendritic lithium formation was greatly affected by the ratio of DME. Raman spectroscopy results suggested that the structure of solvated lithium ions is a crucial important factor in suppressing dendritic lithium formation.
