Background
Lithium ion batteries are widely used in energy storage, electric vehicles, portable electronic devices, and other fields. Energy storage systems and electric vehicles are considered to have great potential for reducing fossil energy consumption and improving the utilization rate of renewable energy, and thus have been vigorously supported by the country in recent years. In addition, with the improvement of living standard, the demand of mobile electronic devices such as mobile phones and notebook computers is increasing gradually, so that the demand of lithium ion batteries is increasing continuously. However, the service life of lithium ion batteries is generally below 8 years, and thus the number of recently reported spent lithium ion batteries is sharply increasing. China is a country with shortage of lithium resources, and lithium recovery from waste lithium ion batteries has strategic value. However, because of the low lithium content of the lithium iron phosphate battery, the lithium resource cannot be recovered from the lithium iron phosphate battery by the existing pyrometallurgical technology. The hydrometallurgical technology has higher recovery rate of lithium, however, the hydrometallurgical technology usually needs a large amount of acid and alkali, generates a large amount of waste water and has larger environmental burden.
