A mixture of compound 5-(4-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)quinoline-2-carbonitrile (30.0 mg, 0.10 mmol, 1.0 eq) in cone. HCl (1 mL, 12M) was stirred at 70° C. for 16 hours. LC-MS showed starting material was consumed completely and one main peak with desired MS was detected. The reaction mixture was cooled to 25° C., and then the suspension was filtered to give a residue as a white solid. The residue was purified by prep-HPLC to give the title compound (11.43 mg, 31.8% yield) as a yellow solid. LCMS (ESI): RT=0.887 min, mass calcd. for C17H10F3NO2 417.26, m/z found 418.0 [M+H]+; 1H NMR (400 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ 8.35 (d, J=8.8 Hz, 1H), 8.26 (d, J=8.5 Hz, 1H), 8.12 (d, J=8.8 Hz, 1H), 8.03-7.90 (m, 3H), 7.85-7.72 (m, 3H).

EXAMPLE 1
A mixer, equipped with an electric mixer that has three prop-style mixing blades in series on a central shaft is used to produce a composition in accordance with the present disclosure. The tank itself is a stainless-steel cone-bottom tank with a 33 degree slope with a set of four baffles to allow for turbulent laminar flow.
36% w/w of dimethyl sulfoxide and 15% w/w of styrene-maleic anhydride copolymer are added to the tank, heated to 160° F., and mixed for one hour or until dissolved. 17% dicyandiamide is then added, and mixing continued for another hour or until dissolved. 15% monoethanolamine (MEA) is added with stirring and the resulting solution is allowed to cool to 100° F. Once cooled, 17% N-(N-butyl) Thiophosphoric Triamide (NBPT) is added with mixing for 45 minutes or until dissolved. The resulting solution is passed through a 5 micron filter, and samples are taken from both the top and the bottom of the reactor for testing. The resulting solution is reddish-orange and has a sulfur-like odor.
Example 10
Lithium is extracted from a brine using coated ion exchange particles. The brine is an aqueous chloride solution containing 100,000 mg/L Na, 200 ppm Li, and other species including Ca, Mg, and B. The coated ion exchange particles are comprised of an ion exchange material and a coating material. The ion exchange material is Li2MnO3 and the coating material is titanium dioxide. The particles are comprised of 95 wt. % active material and 5 wt. % of coating material. The particles have a mean diameter of 200 microns. The particles are created by first synthesizing Li2MnO3 via a solid state method and then the coating is deposited from a Ti-propoxide precursor onto the surface of the Li2MnO3 material.
The ion exchange particles are loaded into an ion exchange reactor shown in
The particles are loaded into the tank as a dry material. 1.5 N sulfuric acid is pumped into the tank and stirred with the ion exchange particle to yield a lithium sulfate eluate solution. During acid treatment, the particles absorb hydrogen while releasing lithium. The coating allows diffusion of hydrogen and lithium respectively to and from the active material while providing a protective barrier that protects the active material. After 40 minutes, the eluate solution is collected from the tank through the mesh, dewatered, purified using sodium carbonate precipitation and resin ion exchange beads to remove trace Mg/Ca, and processed into lithium carbonate through addition of sodium carbonate solution at 90 degrees Celsius.
After treatment in acid, the protonated particles are treated with brine wherein the particles absorb lithium while releasing hydrogen. The brine is pumped into the tank and stirred with the ion exchange particles, and the particles are converted from a protonated state to a lithiated state with a lithium-enriched composition. An aqueous solution of NaOH is added to the tank to maintain the pH of the brine at 6. After 4 hours, the spent brine is removed from the tank through the meshes. The ion exchange particles form a settled bed in the column. The ion exchange particles are washed continuously with water, which flows through the column to efficiently remove residual brine from the ion exchange particles. After washing, the residual wash water is drained from the bottom of the column through the mesh, leaving a moist bed of the ion exchange particles at the bottom of the column with minimal entrainment of brine and minimal entrainment of water.
The lithiated material is then treated again with acid to yield lithium in solution as described previously. The cycle of protonation and lithiation is repeated to extract lithium from the brine and yield a lithium sulfate solution. Degradation of the ion exchange particles is limited due to the coating providing a protective barrier.

At this time, spraying in the cone-jet mode was carried out for 30 minutes in nitrogen atmosphere while the flow rate of the slurry was 3 mL/hr, the distance between the nozzle and the substrate was 12 cm, and the applied voltage (DC) was maintained in the range of 13 kV to 14 kV.
