The invention is directed to ion capture devices and methods for ion capture.

The present disclosure relates to the extraction of lithium from liquid resources such as natural and synthetic brines, leachate solutions from clays and minerals, and recycled products. Herein are systems and processes for extracting lithium using ion exchange materials, where transition metal impurities may be removed from the synthetic lithium solution. In some embodiments, the transition metal species are reformulated to form ion exchange materials to be used in the systems and processes described herein.

A composition may include a crystalline phase including lithiated bayerite. The composition can have a Li/B Selectivity Factor of at least 4.2 and a Turbidity Factor of less than 1000 NTU. In an embodiment, the composition comprises a content of Li from 2 wt % to 5 wt %, a content of Cl from 10 wt % to 26 wt %, a content of Al from 15 wt % to 30 wt % of the composition, or a combination thereof. A product can include the composition of embodiments herein and be configured to extract lithium from a solution.
