The invention relates to a method of recycling lithium iron phosphate batteries with the aim of enabling the isolated recovery of elements from black mass. Black mass comprising at least cathodic and anodic components is immersed in a pH 13-14 solution to obtain a first leachate and first solid residue. The first leachate is immersed in a 4-6M acid solution to obtain a second leachate. The second leachate is passed through a first ion-exchange column where fluoride ions are retained and a second ion-exchange column where copper ions are to obtain a second eluate. The pH of the second eluate is adjusted to about 2.5-5 and a quantity of phosphoric acid that is sufficient to achieve an equivalent stoichiometric ratio of ferric iron and phosphate anions is added to obtain a first solution and an iron (III) phosphate precipitate. The first solution is combined with the first leachate to obtain a second solution. The pH of the second solution is adjusted to about 6.5 to a residual precipitate and a lithium solution.

The present invention relates to the field of solid materials for the adsorption of lithium. In particular, the present invention relates to a new method for the preparation of a crystallized and shaped solid material, preferably in extruded form, of the formula (LiCl).sub.x.2Al(OH).sub.3,nH.sub.2O, wherein n is between 0.01 and 10, x is between 0.4 and 1, wherein it comprises a step a) of precipitation of boehmite under specific temperature and pH conditions, a step of bringing into contact the precipitate obtained with LiCl, at least one acid extrusion-kneading shaping step, wherein the method also comprises a final hydrothermal treatment step, all of which makes it possible to increase the lithium adsorption capacity, the adsorption kinetics, as well as the lithium/boron selectivity of the materials obtained with respect to the materials of the prior art, when it is used in a lithium extraction method of saline solutions.

A method of producing particles by bringing plural dissimilar materials A and B into contact with each other includes feeding a liquid into a reactor from a first end portion of the reactor such that the liquid flows along the inner peripheral surface of the reactor and generating a vortex flow toward a second end portion in the reactor by the feed of the liquid; disposing a flow-assisting blade capable of rotating around the central axis line in the reactor and rotating the flow-assisting blade; and injecting materials to be contacted A and B into the reactor, discharging a contacted liquid from the second end portion of the reactor, and generating the particles in the contacted liquid.
