Description

A kind of method that utilization intermediate frequency furnace reclaims lithium metal in lithium ion battery
Technical field
It is especially a kind of to reclaim lithium-ion electric using intermediate frequency furnace the present invention relates to resource reclaim and environmental protection technical field The method of lithium metal in pond.
Background technology
With the rapid growth of World Economics, people are increasing to the demand of automobile, therefore energy crisis and environment are dirty Dye has turned into the two large problems that countries nowadays generally face, and greatly develop new-energy automobile be solve problem main method it One, its technological core is exactly electrokinetic cell.Lithium ion battery because of its high security, high-energy-density and environmental protection and low cost and It is used widely, is particularly even more unique advantage in electric automobile, microelectronic component and aerospace industry field.Currently, China Battery industry develop rapidly, by 2015, electric automobile cumulative sale was up to 500,000, it is contemplated that the year two thousand twenty up to 5,000,000, Meanwhile, the pure electric vehicle of China and electrokinetic cell of hybrid powered vehicle scrap cumulative amount and will also reach 12~170,000 tons, but The rate of recovery of China's battery is but less than 2%, if battery recycling system and advanced recovery technology without specification, these batteries Certainly will will cause the wasting of resources and huge environmental hazard.
At present, scrap lithium ion battery recycling technology is mainly focused on the recovery of the metals such as nickel, copper and rare earth element, And the document of lithium metal recovery is relatively fewer, concrete technology has pyrogenic process and the class of wet method two.
Thermal process is then that lithium ion battery and sulfate or other salts are carried out into calcination process, after baking, battery In lithium can change into soluble-salt, be eventually adding precipitating reagent and reclaimed.It is related to alkali to soak in process route, acidleach, roasting etc. Step, it is relatively complicated.Wet processing includes disassembling, and sorts, and leaches, the step such as precipitation, and its advantage is that each component is obtained effectively Reclaim, the purity for processing products obtained therefrom is generally higher.But wet recycling process flow is often excessively complicated, and leachate and residual Slag has corrosivity and toxicity, if dealing with improperly, easily causes even more serious secondary pollution.In addition, after leaching, can also pass through Adding ion sieve carries out adsorption recovery, and available adsorption rate higher is reported in such as Chinese patent CN 1451771A, but, its Ion sieve synthesis is more difficult and high to the quality requirement of ion sieve, and this method is applied to laboratory research, and improper industry is big raw Produce.
The preparation technology of current lithium carbonate is broadly divided into ore and extracts and salt lake bittern two major classes of extraction, if by reclaiming Lithium prepares lithium carbonate method, and not only input cost is high, and technical difficulty is big, secondary pollution is easily caused, so being unfavorable for work The realization of industry.Therefore, seeking a kind of process for preferably reclaiming lithium undoubtedly has good development prospect.
The content of the invention
Present invention aim at a kind of method that utilization intermediate frequency furnace reclaims lithium metal in lithium ion battery is provided, using intermediate frequency The characteristics of stove, obtain a kind of simple to operate, energy-saving, lithium-ion electric that production efficiency is high, environmental benefit is good, good in economic efficiency The recovery method of lithium metal in pond.
To achieve these goals, the present invention uses following technical scheme:
A kind of method that utilization intermediate frequency furnace reclaims metal in lithium ion battery, including discharge process, disassemble, battery core slightly break and Melting operation, comprises the following steps that:
Discharge process:The lithium ion battery of recovery is put into electrolyte, remaining capacity is fully put only in making battery;Due to The powered cutting of battery is thick broken to be susceptible to blast, thus it is thick it is broken before must carry out discharge process;
Disassemble:Cut less than at 1.5cm along to battery top with cutter, the battery after cutting is opened, separate battery core And battery container, wherein battery container recycling;
Battery core is slightly broken:Using shearing-crushing, impact grinding, splitting is broken, grinding is broken, bending is broken and perforate in one Plant or more than one method is processed battery core;Because waste battery is sealing system and inside battery has electrolyte Deng if battery core directly to be carried out dry melt treatment, there is the danger of blast, accordingly, it would be desirable to using the method for broken or perforate Treatment battery core, makes battery core to be vented in melting processing procedure, it is to avoid blast;
Melting operation refers to that will be placed in carry out melting in intermediate frequency furnace by thick broken battery core, and concrete operation step is as follows:
1) battery core and flux after thick breaking are placed in intermediate frequency furnace, wherein flux accounts for the 8-12% of total amount;
2) intermediate frequency furnace is warming up to 1300-1400 DEG C, reaction until material all fusings, obtain the conjunction containing Co and/or Ni Gold, slag and flying dust;
3) flying dust is collected using cyclone dust collectors in fusion process, adds a small amount of deionized water dissolving, filtering removal is not Molten thing, obtains filtrate;
4) to addition saturation Na in filtrate2CO3Solution, obtains product Li2CO3
Preferably, described flux is the composition of Fe and MgO, and by weight, 0.4≤Fe/MgO≤0.6.
Preferably, described electrolyte is one or more in NaOH, NaCl, KOH and KCl.
Preferably, step 2) in fusing time be 30~60min.
Beneficial effects of the present invention:
The present invention using intermediate frequency furnace scrap the recovery method of lithium metal in power lithium-ion battery, and equipment aspect is used Intermediate frequency furnace has production efficiency high, and operating procedure is simple, the few advantage of flue dust, and very notable at energy-saving aspect.Separately The outer flux for using in the present invention so that can not only reclaim the metals such as nickel cobalt copper, at the same greatly simplify lithium reclaim and Purifying technique, substantially reduces production cost, realizes the cycling and reutilization of valuable metal in battery.
Brief description of the drawings
Fig. 1 is present invention process schematic flow sheet.
Specific embodiment
Power lithium-ion battery will be scrapped and be placed in the sodium chloride solution that concentration is 10% and soak 48h, it is ensured that lithium electricity The residual electricity whole discharge off in pond.
Electrokinetic cell of scrapping after electric discharge is transported to the room of disassembling using cutter along cutting at battery top~1.5cm.For Prevent from being overheated in cutting process, trigger burning or explode, need to cut synchronous with spray cooling.Finally battery core is taken from battery case Go out, battery case can be recycled directly.
The battery core of extraction is slightly broken, it is therefore an objective to prevent the blast of refuse battery, i.e. refuse battery be sealing system and Internally there is electrolyte etc., when pyrogenic process melt process is directly carried out in the presence of the danger for being possible to blast.Accordingly, it would be desirable to take Break process (such as shearing-crushing, impact grinding, splitting is broken, grinding is broken, bending is broken) is in order to be vented, it is also possible to enter Row perforate is processed, for example, carrying out physics perforate to refuse battery using the point of a knife of needle-like.Additionally, in the present invention, due to later Pyrogenic attack in by melting operation, therefore do not need each component separation.
Melting is carried out in intermediate frequency furnace by being placed in by thick broken battery core.
