The ion-exchanger Li0.6Zn1.2PO4of spinel type was prepared by a solid state reaction crystallization method. The extraction/insertion reaction with this material was investigated by X-ray, saturation capacity of exchange, and Kd measurement. The experimental results have proved that the acid-treated sample has a capacity of exchange 2.4mmol•g-1for Li+in the solution, The chemical analysis showed that the Li+extraction/insertion progressed mainly by ion-exchange mechanism and surface adsorption.
