Abstract Lithium λ-MnO2 ion-sieves were prepared from spinel LiMn2O4 via treatment with nitric acid. The LiMn2O4 was synthesized by a solid state reaction between LiOH· H2O and MnO2. The effects of the calcination time and temperature on the preparation of the LiMn2O4 precursor and the lithium ion-sieve were investigated. In addition, the Li^＋ extraction ratio, the Mn^2＋ dissolving ratio and the adsorption properties of the lithium ion-sieve were all measured. The lithium ion-sieve had a high exchange capacity and was selective for Li^＋. Specifically, at pH = 13, the ion exchange capacity of Li^＋ was 30.9mg/g in 10 mmol/L LiCl solution and the lithium extraction ratio and manganese dissolving ratio were 95% and 25%, respec- tively.
