Article Citation - WoS: 21Citation - Scopus: 23Lithium: an Energy Transition Element, Its Role in the Future Energy Demand and Carbon Emissions Mitigation Strategy(Elsevier Ltd, 2024) Chandrasekharam,D.; Şener,M.F.; Recepoğlu,Y.K.; Isık,T.; Demir,M.M.; Baba,A.Energy transition elements (Li, Ni, Co, Fe, Cu) are gaining importance due to their ability to provide energy and play an important role as primary energy sources. Because of the energy density and power density, Li-ion batteries have the edge over other batteries. Li is distributed in various rock-forming minerals and brines, and geothermal waters. Though lithium-bearing minerals are spread over a broad geographic region, these minerals are confined to certain countries with substantial economic potential. Li is extensively used in batteries, and battery-driven vehicles are growing exponentially to meet the carbon reduction goal of the Paris agreement in 2015 and signed by more than 50 percent of the countries. Nearly 55 million cars supported by Li batteries are expected to roll out by 2030. While this is the demand, its occurrence and concentration/extraction processes are not keeping pace with this demand. The extraction of Li from its ore is an energy-intensive process involving many fossil fuel-based energies. To recover one ton of Li metal, nearly 5 to 6 tons of CO2 is emitted. The CO2 emissions of 28 kWh LFP, NMC, and LMO batteries vary from 5600 to 2705 kg CO2-eq. The end-of-life emissions of an internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicle are 400 kg CO2/vehicle, while Li Battery supports 500 kg/vehicle. The quantity of Li required for a 24 kWh average capacity leaf battery is about 137 g/kWh. While emissions are associated with the manufacturing of the batteries, emissions are also associated with a way that while they are recharged as the recharging source is fossil fuel-based energy. The best option to meet zero net carbon emissions by 2050, as envisaged by International Energy Agency (IEA), is to recover Li from geothermal brines and use geothermal energy for recharging. While hydrothermal energy sources are site-specific, enhanced geothermal system (EGS) based geothermal energy is not site-specific and is found wherever high radiogenic granites are available. High radiogenic granites are widely distributed, and heat recovered from EGS sources can provide clean energy and heat. Extraction of lithium from geothermal waters and using geothermal energy for recharging the batteries will drastically reduce CO2 emissions. It will drive the world towards Net Zero Emissions (NZE) scenario in the future. This is being practiced in Turkey. Future research should develop technology to recover Li from geothermal fluids with low concentration and support EGS development. © 2024 Elsevier LtdArticle Citation - WoS: 15Citation - Scopus: 15Granulation of Hydrometallurgically Synthesized Spinel Lithium Manganese Oxide Using Cross-Linked Chitosan for Lithium Adsorption From Water(Elsevier B.V., 2024) Recepoğlu,Y.K.; Arabacı,B.; Kahvecioğlu,A.; Yüksel,A.A drastic increase in demand for electric vehicles and energy storage systems increases lithium (Li) need as a critical metal for the 21st century. Lithium manganese oxides stand out among inorganic adsorbents because of their high capacity, chemical stability, selectivity, and affordability for lithium recovery from aqueous media. This study investigates using hydrometallurgically synthesized lithium manganese oxide (Li1.6Mn1.6O4) in granular form coated with cross-linked chitosan for lithium recovery from water. Characterization methods such as SEM, FTIR, XRD, and BET reveal the successful synthesis of the composite adsorbent. Granular cross-linked chitosan-coated and delithiated lithium manganese oxide (CTS/HMO) adsorbent demonstrated optimal removal efficiency of 86 % at pH 12 with 4 g/L of adsorbent dosage. The Langmuir isotherm at 25 °C, which showed monolayer adsorption with a maximum capacity of 4.94 mg/g, a better fit for the adsorption behavior of CTS/HMO. Adsorption was endothermic and thermodynamically spontaneous. Lithium adsorption followed the pseudo-first-order kinetic model. © 2024Article Citation - WoS: 4Citation - Scopus: 5Breakthrough Curve Analysis of Phosphorylated Hazelnut Shell Waste in Column Operation for Continuous Harvesting of Lithium From Water(Elsevier, 2024) Recepoğlu, Yaşar Kemal; Arar, Ozguer; Yuksel, AsliIn batch-scale operations, biosorption employing phosphorylated hazelnut shell waste (FHS) revealed excellent lithium removal and recovery efficiency. Scaling up and implementing packed bed column systems necessitates further design and performance optimization. Lithium biosorption via FHS was investigated utilizing a continuous-flow packed-bed column operated under various flow rates and bed heights to remove Li to ultra-low levels and recover it. The Li biosorption capacity of the FHS column was unaffected by the bed height, however, when the flow rate was increased, the capacity of the FHS column decreased. The breakthrough time, exhaustion time, and uptake capacity of the column bed increased with increasing column bed height, whereas they decreased with increasing influent flow rate. At flow rates of 0.25, 0.5, and 1.0 mL/min, bed volumes (BVs, mL solution/mL biosorbent) at the breakthrough point were found to be 477, 369, and 347, respectively, with the required BVs for total saturation point of 941, 911, and 829, while the total capacity was calculated as 22.29, 20.07, and 17.69 mg Li/g sorbent. In the 1.0, 1.5, and 2.0 cm height columns filled with FHS, the breakthrough times were 282, 366, and 433 min, respectively, whereas the periods required for saturation were 781, 897, and 1033 min. The three conventional breakthrough models of the Thomas, Yoon-Nelson, and Modified Dose-Response (MDR) were used to properly estimate the whole breakthrough behavior of the FHS column and the characteristic model parameters. Li's extremely favorable separation utilizing FHS was evidenced by the steep S-shape of the breakthrough curves for both parameters flow rate and bed height. The reusability of FHS was demonstrated by operating the packed bed column in multi-cycle mode, with no appreciable loss in column performance.Article Citation - WoS: 17Citation - Scopus: 16Synthesis, Characterization and Adsorption Studies of Phosphorylated Cellulose for the Recovery of Lithium From Aqueous Solutions(Editura Acad Romane, 2021) Recepoğlu, Yaşar Kemal; Yüksel, AslıIn this study, pristine cellulose was functionalized by the phosphorylation reaction to make it suitable for lithium separation. After characterization studies of the synthesized adsorbent with SEM, EDX, FTIR, TGA and XPS, the effects of various parameters on the lithium uptake capacity of the adsorbent were examined. The analysis of equilibrium data by several adsorption models showed that maximum adsorption capacity of the adsorbent was found to be 9.60 mg/g at 25 degrees C by the Langmuir model. As initial concentration and contact time increased, adsorption capacity also increased, however, mild temperature (25-35 degrees C) and pH (5-6) were better for the adsorption of lithium. 80% of lithium adsorption within three minutes proved the fast kinetic nature of the adsorbent. A 99.5% desorption efficiency of lithium was achieved with 0.5 M H2SO4, among HCl and NaCl with different molarities. Phosphorylated cellulose was shown to be a favorable adsorbent for the recovery of lithium from aqueous solutions.Article Citation - WoS: 25Citation - Scopus: 26Phosphorylated Hazelnut Shell Waste for Sustainable Lithium Recovery Application as Biosorbent(Springer, 2021) Recepoğlu, Yaşar Kemal; Yüksel, AslıHazelnut shell waste was phosphorylated to develop a novel biosorbent based on natural renewable resource for the recovery of lithium from aqueous solution. For the synthesized biosorbent, the surface morphology and mapping by SEM-EDS, chemical properties by FTIR, elemental analysis by XPS, specific surface area by BET, crystallinity by XRD and thermal properties by TGA were elucidated elaborately. The influence of biosorbent dosage, initial concentration, temperature, contact time, pH and coexisting ions were investigated. The equilibrium sorption capacity reached 6.03 mg/g under optimal conditions (i.e., biosorbent dosage of 12.0 g/L, initial Li concentration of 100 mg/L, pH value of 5.8, sorption temperature of 25 degrees C, and sorption time of 6 min). According to the sorption behavior of the phosphorylated hazelnut shell waste the Freundlich model proved to be more suitable than the Langmuir model indicating maximum sorption capacity as 7.71 mg/g at 25 degrees C. Thermodynamic parameters obtained by different isokinetic temperatures disclosed that the ion exchange reaction was feasible, spontaneous, and exothermic where the interaction between biosorbent surface and solvent plays an important role. A preliminary test on the Li recovery from geothermal water was also performed to check its applicability in a real brine. Desorption studies at 25 degrees C revealed that relatively higher desorption efficiency and capacity were achieved at 97.4% and 5.93 mg/g, respectively with a 1.0 M H2SO4 among other regenerants (i.e., HCl and NaCl). Concentrations of Li and the other cations were determined via ICP-OES. Due to such outstanding features, the novel phosphorylated hazelnut shell waste had great potential for lithium recovery from aqueous solution by being added value as a waste and recovering a strategic element of modern life simultaneously.
