Description

A kind of method for innocent treatment of lithium metal
Technical field
The invention belongs to waste processing arts, are related to a kind of method for innocent treatment more particularly to a kind of lithium metal Method for innocent treatment.
Background technique
Lithium metal has a wide range of applications in lithium electrical domain, and application while brings waste residue containing lithium metal, leftover pieces The generation of equal waste materials easily occurs with moisture, oxygen, the nitrogen in air complicated in a natural environment since lithium metal is unstable Chemical reaction:
4Li+O2=2Li2O
Li2O+CO2=Li2CO3
Li2O+H2O=2LiOH
Li+H2O=LiOH+0.5H2
6Li+N2=2Li3N,
Although the heat generated in the unit time is less, if cannot be processed in time, heat cannot discharge in time, By gathering for a long time, the temperature of scrap heap will be gradually risen until reaching spontaneous combustion or even open fire occur, lithium metal is generally answered It deposits in the glove box of atoleine, solid paraffin, albolene or applying argon gas, since Li electricity company lithium metal waste material is discarded Amount cannot reach lithium metal manufacturing enterprise scale but discarded lithium metal needs to carry out safe processing in time so that being difficult to be formed Lithium metal waste material, is generally stored in dry room using the Li electricity company of metal lithium material, still by scale recycling at present Accumulation and closely knit accumulation not only occupied space position, also increase the security risk of company.
The processing method of the waste material containing lithium metal specifically includes that in the prior art
1, directly lithium slag is added to the water and is hydrolyzed, control the reaction interval of hydrolysis by controlling the additional amount of lithium slag Degree.Since lithium slag reacts acutely in water, a large amount of heat and imflammable gas hydrogen can be generated, it is therefore desirable to which strict control is each The treating capacity of lithium slag, process cycle are longer.Since reaction generates hydrogen and generates amount of heat, safety hazard is high, Yi Fasheng Explosion.
2, lithium metal is recycled by the method for hydrometallurgic recovery, complex technical process, energy consumption is higher, realizes industrial applications It is difficult.
3, high temperature burning handling lithium metal waste residue and lithium metal is recycled, easily causes one combust of lithium metal, controlled non- Often difficult, risk factor is high.Lithium metal can not be directly recycled, while flue gas can be taken away largely containing lithiumation conjunction in lithium metal burning The dust of object causes air pollution and lithium resource to lose.
CN206368190U provides the recycling reaction unit and processing unit of a kind of lithium metal slag, uses in the program close Lithium hydroxide solution is saturated to reduce the reaction rate of water and lithium slag, to reduce the risk of lithium metal waste disposal.But it is entire Process efficiency is low, and lithium metal waste disposal amount is small, and process requirement is pre-configured with lithium hydroxide solution, and lithium hydroxide solution reaches Reaction rate further decreases after saturation, is whether diluted or replaces saturated solution and both increase the complexity of technique.
CN109248904A discloses the method for innocent treatment and system of a kind of lithium metal waste residue, and the program includes: to mention For liquid-phase system, the liquid-phase system includes the oily mutually with water phase of layering, oily to be mutually distributed in above water phase, and oil phase and lithium metal Waste residue does not react;The liquid-phase system is added in lithium metal waste residue, and is distributed in lithium metal waste residue in the oily phase;By metal Lithium waste residue is pressed into the water phase, reacts lithium metal therein with water, while the lasting hydrogen for removing reaction and generating, and realizes gold Belong to the harmless treatment of lithium waste residue.But this method is extremely cumbersome, and poor to the control of reaction rate, and in order to control Water phase temperature, it is necessary to hot water be discharged and refill cold water, this needs to will cause the wasting of resources using a large amount of water.
CN109264750A discloses a kind of method for innocent treatment of lithium metal waste residue, this method comprises: holding accompanying by In the case where continuous agitation, the mixture of lithium metal waste residue and additive is heated to 250~450 DEG C, and make the mixture with The harmless treatment of lithium metal waste residue is realized in the reaction of reactant gas continuous contact, and the additive is selected from heat-stable compound, The reactant gas can react to form stable lithium compound with lithium metal.Although the reaction does not have to water, gas-solid reaction Reaction efficiency it is low, although safety preferably reaction speed it is too slow, cause time cost higher.
