Removal of lithium and uranium from seawater using fly ash and slag generated in the CFBC technology.

ABSTRACT: Fly ash and slag were produced as a result of the incineration of municipal sewage sludge using the circulating fluidized bed combustion (CFBC) technology and were examined for the simultaneous recovery of lithium and uranium from seawater in batch adsorption experiments. These waste materials have been characterized in terms of their physicochemical properties using several research methods including particle size distribution, bulk density, SEM-EDS analysis, thermogravimetry, SEM and TEM morphology, BET, specific surface area, pore volume distribution by the BJH method, ATR FT-IR, and zeta potential. The fly ash and slag waste materials showed the following research results for Li-ion recovery: adsorption efficiency 12.1% and 6.8%, adsorption capacity 0.55 mg g^-1 and 0.15 mg g
