Description

Method for recovering cobalt and lithium metals from waste lithium cobalt oxide batteries
Technical Field
The invention relates to a method for treating waste lithium ion batteries, in particular to a method for recovering cobalt and lithium from waste lithium cobalt oxide batteries.
Background
In recent years, due to energy shortage and environmental protection requirements, chemical fuel energy is being transformed and developed into new energy, and therefore lithium ion batteries have been rapidly developed since the commercialization in 1991. Compared with the commonly used lead-acid battery, nickel-copper battery and other traditional batteries, the lithium ion battery has higher theoretical capacity and volume energy density, and also has a series of advantages of long working time, high safety performance, no memory effect, environmental friendliness and the like, so that the lithium ion battery can be widely applied to electronic equipment as an excellent energy storage device, such as mobile phones, computers, digital cameras, power batteries and the like. The lithium ion battery mainly comprises a positive electrode material, a negative electrode material, a diaphragm, a binder, a conductive agent and the like, wherein the positive electrode material mainly comprises lithium cobaltate, lithium manganate, lithium nickelate, lithium iron phosphate, a ternary material and the like. Lithium cobaltate is a typical positive electrode material, is widely used in daily life due to high capacity and strong cycling stability, and cobalt and lithium in the lithium cobaltate have high recovery value as rare metal elements.
In China, cobalt resources and lithium resources are deficient, the existence proportion of cobalt in the lithium cobaltate anode material is far higher than the occurrence degree of a natural mineral phase, and the cost of obtaining a metal raw material through resource recovery is lower than the cost of directly smelting and preparing the metal raw material from the natural mineral phase. In addition, cobalt has wide application in the industrial and military fields, is the most valuable element in the main heavy metals used in the lithium ion battery, and has important strategic significance in cobalt resource recovery; according to the information of the Shanghai nonferrous metal net in 2020 and 4 months, the average price of Li is 54 ten thousand per ton, and the average price of Co is 24 ten thousand per ton. In addition, with the development of industries such as 5G, intelligent terminals and the like, the demand and market value of cobalt resources can further rise, and the recovery of lithium and cobalt from waste lithium ion batteries has obvious economic benefits. Moreover, cobalt belongs to heavy metal elements, and if the waste lithium cobalt oxide is not reasonably treated, the problem of serious environmental pollution is caused, and the life health of human beings is influenced. Therefore, the recovery of cobalt and lithium in the waste lithium ion battery can relieve the resource pressure and eliminate the hidden pollution danger, and the economic benefit, the social benefit and the environmental benefit are outstanding.
After the lithium ion battery is charged and discharged for a period of time, the electrode material can generate different degrees of volume expansion and material denaturation, so that the specific capacity is gradually attenuated, when the capacity is attenuated to 50%, the lithium ion battery becomes a retired lithium ion battery, and the lithium ion battery becomes a waste lithium ion battery after cascade utilization. With the rapid development of new energy power automobiles and large-scale energy storage markets, the number of lithium ion batteries is increased in a well-jet manner, at present, the service life of the lithium ion batteries is generally 3-5 years, which means that the number of the waste lithium ion batteries is increased in an explosive manner, and a large number of waste lithium ion batteries inevitably cause environmental pollution and resource waste if not processed, so how to process the waste lithium ion batteries is a common problem facing current new energy enterprises.
According to the composition and proportion of valuable components in the lithium ion battery, the current treatment mode for resource recovery of the lithium cobalt oxide battery mainly comprises the following steps:
(1) wet recovery
Chinese patent (CN 101269889A) discloses a method for recovering cobalt from waste lithium cobalt oxide batteries, which comprises pretreating positive electrode material containing lithium cobalt oxide to remove binder and conductive agent, stripping active substance from current collector, and recovering cobalt from the current collector with sulfurAcid and reducing agent (H)2O2Or Na2S2O3·5H2O) reductive acid leaching of active material containing lithium cobaltate to leach Co2+And Li+Then recovering cobalt and lithium metal by precipitation treatment. Chinese patent (CN 101509071A) discloses a method for recovering valuable metals from lithium batteries containing Co, Ni and Mn, which adopts hydrochloric acid with the concentration of more than 250g/L or sulfuric acid with the concentration of 200g/L and hydrogen peroxide solution with the concentration of 20g/L to extract Co by reductive acid leaching at the temperature of 80 DEG C2+、Ni2+、Mn2+And Li+. Chinese patent (CN 10906320A) describes a method for recovering Co and Li from waste lithium battery by using ethanol as reducing agent, and the main research of the method is that lithium cobaltate powder is added into leaching solution (sulfuric acid and ethanol mixed solution) in the pretreatment stage, mechanical stirring is added under the condition of 80-90 ℃ for leaching, and Co is added2+And Li+The precipitation extraction is carried out respectively. In the above technology, although the leaching method for recovering valuable components in lithium ion batteries has a high leaching rate, the method also has the disadvantages that the leaching is not negligible, for example, a large amount of acid is introduced in the leaching process, so that the treatment cost and the treatment difficulty of tail liquid are greatly increased, wherein when hydrochloric acid is adopted to dissolve lithium cobaltate cathode materials, toxic and harmful gases (chlorine) are released, and the environment is seriously polluted; although the sulfuric acid + reducing agent process is feasible, the treatment cost is high due to the large consumption of the reducing agent.
(2) Recovery by pyrogenic process
Chinese patent (CN 101054631A) discloses a method for recovering valuable components from a failed lithium ion battery, and mainly introduces the treatment of discharging, high-temperature roasting, crushing, magnetic separation and recovery of the failed lithium ion battery, wherein the roasting temperature range is 400-1000 ℃, the granularity after crushing is 0.5-5 mm, and the separation and recovery of the sieved materials are realized under the action of a strong magnetic field.
Chinese patent (CN 103178315A) discloses a resource recovery technology of waste lithium ion batteries, after the waste batteries are discharged and treated at high temperature, ammonium sulfate and active substances are added according to a certain proportion for roasting, roasting reaction is carried out at the roasting temperature of 400 ℃, valuable metal elements exist in the form of sulfate, and then hydrochloric acid is used for dissolving and filtering to obtain filtrate for extraction, precipitation and collection. The method can reduce the consumption of acid during dissolution, but sulfate obtained after roasting is consolidated to different degrees, and the obtained material has large granularity and uneven distribution, which greatly reduces the subsequent leaching efficiency.
In summary, the common problems faced by the extraction and recovery of valuable components in the waste lithium ion battery materials at present include: (1) chemical reagents such as acid and alkali are consumed greatly in the leaching and recycling process, and the generated waste liquid is difficult to treat; (2) the energy consumption caused by the high temperature condition in the pyrogenic process recovery process is large, and the selective extraction rate is low; (3) the process flow is long and the operation is complex. Therefore, it is highly desirable to develop an efficient, green, low-cost, short-flow treatment process.
