Spinel lithium manganese oxide ion-sieves have been considered the most promising adsorbents to extract Li
+
from brines and sea water. Here
we report a lithium ion-sieve which was successfully loaded onto tubular α-Al

ceramic substrates by dipping crystallization and post-calcination method. The lithium manganese oxide Li

was first synthesized onto tubular α-Al

ceramic substrates as the ion-sieve precursor (
i.e
. L-AA)
and the corresponding lithium ion-sieve (
i.e
. H-AA) was obtained after acid pickling. The chemical and morphological properties of the ion-sieve were confirmed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Both L-AA and H-AA showed characteristic peaks of α-Al

and cubic phase Li

and the peaks representing cubic phase could still exist after pickling. The lithium manganese oxide Li

could be uniformly loaded not only on the surface of α-Al

substrates but also inside the pores. Moreover
we found that the equilibrium adsorption capacity of H-AA was 22.9 mg·g
-1
. After 12 h adsorption
the adsorption balance was reached. After 5 cycles of adsorption
the adsorption capacity of H-AA was 60.88% of the initial adsorption capacity. The process of H-AA adsorption for Li
+
correlated with pseudo-second order kinetic model and Langmuir model. Adsorption thermodynamic parameters regarding enthalpy (Δ
H
)
Gibbs free energy (Δ
G
) and entropy (Δ
S
) were calculated. For the dynamic adsorption- desorption process of H-AA
the H-AA exhibited excellent adsorption performance to Li
+
with the Li
+
dynamic adsorption capacity of 9.74 mg·g
-1
and the Mn
2+
dissolution loss rate of 0.99%. After 3 dynamic adsorption-desorption cycles
80% of the initial dynamic adsorption capacity was still kept.
