The extraction/insertion reaction with this material was investigated by X-ray, saturation capacity of exchange, pH titration, and distribution coefficient （Kd） measurement. The acid treatments of Mg2Mn0.5Ti0.5O4 caused Mg^2＋ extractions of more than 81%, whereas the dissolutions of Mn^4＋ and Ti^4＋ were less than 10%. The experimental results proved that the acid-treated sample has a capacity of exchange 56 mg·g^-1 for Li^＋ in the solution. The chemical analysis showed that the Li^＋ extraction/insertion progressed mainly by ion-exchange mechanism and surface adsorption.展开更多
