Background
Since the commercialization of lithium ion batteries has been completed in the end of the 20 th century, lithium ion batteries have been widely used in portable electronic devices such as mobile phones, notebook computers, and cameras, and electric vehicles, because of their advantages such as high mass density, light weight, long life, and no memory. From the application field of domestic lithium batteries, the rapid development of industries such as power, energy storage and 3C becomes the main driving force for driving the development of the lithium ion battery industry, and the demand acceleration of the lithium batteries in the power and energy storage fields is accelerated continuously. According to the analysis and prediction of a prospective industrial research institute, the new energy automobile sales volume in China is expected to exceed 300 million by 2022 years. The reports of the power battery recycling industry (2018) predict that cumulative retired power batteries will exceed 23 million tons (21 GWH) in 2020, and the retirement scale of ternary batteries will be equal to and gradually surpass that of lithium iron phosphate batteries in 2022. The ternary lithium ion battery anode material contains various valuable metals (cobalt, nickel, manganese, lithium and the like) and has high recovery value, so that a comprehensive ternary lithium ion battery recovery technology needs to be researched. The waste ternary anode material lithium ion battery generally contains 5-20% of cobalt, 5-10% of nickel, 5-7% of lithium, 15% of organic solvent and 7% of plastic. If it can be recycled, it can not only reduce the pollution to the environment but also produce great economic benefits.
At present, the method for regenerating and recycling the anode of the waste lithium ion battery mainly comprises the following steps: solid phase method, precipitation separation method, coprecipitation method. The solid phase method is characterized in that a certain amount of lithium source is added into the waste anode material, and then high-temperature calcination is carried out in an oxidizing atmosphere, so as to finally regenerate the ternary anode material. The precipitation separation method is to separate waste LiNixCoyMn1-x-yO2Dissolving the positive electrode material with inorganic acid or organic acid to obtain Li+、Ni2+、Co2+And Mn2+Adding relevant precipitant into the solution to selectively precipitate the ions, and recovering the ions respectively. The coprecipitation method is to mix waste LiNixCoyMn1-x-yO2Dissolving the positive electrode material with inorganic acid or organic acid, adding coprecipitator, and precipitating the ions at the same rate to obtain (Ni)xCoyMn1-x-y)CO3Or NixCoyMn1-x-y(OH)2And then lithium is supplemented and the ternary cathode material is obtained by high-temperature sintering. In conclusion, the product recovered by the precipitation separation method has high purity, but the process flow is relatively complex, the control parameters are more, various harmful gases are generated, and secondary pollution is caused; the coprecipitation method has long process for recycling and preparing the ternary cathode material, and easily generates more waste liquid, so the treatment difficulty of the waste liquid is increased, and simultaneously, a large amount of toxic gas (Cl) is generated due to inorganic acid leaching2、SO2、NO2) And a large amount of acid waste liquid is remained, which can bring secondary pollution.
