A method for LiOHH.sub.2O production from lithium-bearing multicomponent hydromineral raw materials includes filtering lithium-bearing brine contaminated with suspended particles with regeneration of filters and processing of used regenerate, and obtaining pregnant lithium-bearing brine, isolation of lithium chloride from the brine in the form of a primary concentrate in sorption-desorption modules, and nanofiltration of the primary lithium concentrate from magnesium, calcium and sulfate ions. By means of reverse osmosis, electrodialysis concentration and ion-exchange purification from impurities followed by thermal concentration, the primary lithium concentrate is converted into a pregnant lithium chloride concentrate which is converted into a LiOH solution by membrane electrolysis. The LiOH solution is boiled down, resulting in LiOH.H.sub.2O crystallization.

A water remediation system and accompanying method includes remediation by reducing the concentration of nutrients in the water and dosing the water with metal ions. It has been found that through a combination of reducing nutrients present in the water and treating with metal ions, the requirement to treat with high chemical dosages is removed.

The present invention relates to an adsorbent resin for removing perfluorinated pollutants from a body of water, a preparation therefor and the use thereof. The objective is to solve the problem of traditional adsorbent materials, such as active carbon materials, having a poor effect in terms of removing perfluorooctanoic acid from water, being non-renewable, etc. In the present method, styrene and divinylbenzene are used as framework materials, a suitable pore-forming agent and a suitable dispersant are selected in order to prepare a macroporous resin with a moderate pore size, and an alkylation reaction is carried out at a low hindrance with p-xylylene dichloride (XDC) being used as a post-crosslinking agent, whereby a rigid benzene ring structure is introduced into the resin by means of post-crosslinking, thereby further increasing the hydrophobicity of the resin and increasing the crosslinking degree thereof; in addition, the micropore structure is adjusted in order to obtain an adsorbent resin with a narrow particle size distribution, a uniform pore size and a high specific surface area. The size of micropores in the resin is close to the molecular size of perfluorooctanoates in water, the adsorbate sieving capacity is strong, and the adsorption rate of perfluorinated compounds can be further improved.

The present invention covers a novel method for creating an adsorbent and the resulting novel adsorbent. The method may be used to remove pollutants/unwanted chemicals from water, air, other gases, biological fluids (such as blood, urine, lipids, protein fluids), and other fluids (such as fuel). The adsorbent may be used to remove heavy metals (for example, lead), organic pollutants, inorganic non-meal pollutants (for example, nitrates and bromates). Accordingly, the current invention has many applications including but not limited to water treatment, wastewater treatment, biomedical fluid treatments, gas cleanup, and fuel (oil, gas) cleanup.
