Description

Method for recovering metal from waste lithium battery positive electrode material
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of waste lithium ion battery recovery, in particular to a method for recovering metal from a positive electrode material of a waste lithium battery.
Background
The lithium ion battery has the characteristics of high energy density, long cycle life and no memory effect, and is widely applied to digital products such as mobile phones, computers, flat panels and the like. In recent years, with the increase of environmental protection pressure and the upgrading of technology, lithium ion batteries are gradually used on new energy automobiles, and particularly, the yield of ternary power batteries is rapidly increased. However, with the arrival of scrap trend brought by the use of lithium batteries, the scrap quantity of the power type lithium ion batteries reaches 32.2GWH in 2020, a large amount of valuable metals are contained in the scrap quantity, particularly the metal value of a positive electrode material is higher, and the scrap quantity is a problem which needs to be solved urgently for the development and utilization of the positive electrode material.
The existing method for recycling the scrapped lithium battery anode material mainly comprises the steps of dissolving the anode material by using acid and a reducing agent, and then separating metal ions one by using a precipitation or extraction method. In recent years, methods for selectively extracting lithium have been developed, mainly by carrying out oxidation roasting or reduction roasting, and then extracting lithium by water, and recovering metal oxides as precipitates. Both of these processes, while very selective in recovering lithium, have other problems: the consumption of sulfated roasting acid is large, the equipment corrosion is strong, the purity of the obtained product is not high, and the tail gas generated by the decomposition of sulfuric acid needs to be treated; the reduction roasting needs a large amount of reducing gas, the reduction is insufficient, the recovery rate of the reduction product is low, the process is long, and the like. Therefore, it is necessary to provide a method for recovering valuable metals from waste lithium batteries efficiently and simply.
Through search, the Chinese patent application numbers are: 201010199758.4, filing date: the invention and creation name is as follows on 6/12/2010: a method for recovering metallic lithium from waste lithium ion secondary batteries. The method in the application is to completely discharge the recovered waste lithium ion secondary battery, so that all reversible lithium ions on each negative plate of the waste battery are transferred to the positive electrode, and lithium salt is formed on the positive plate; completely taking out the positive plate of the battery after discharge treatment in a mechanical disassembly physical mode, and drying; metallic lithium or lithium-coated material is used as a negative plate to match with each positive plate processed in the previous step, and after the negative plate is placed in a special formation tank with electrolyte and electrically connected, the positive plate and the negative plate are respectively connected to a positive bus bar and a negative bus bar of a direct current power supply to carry out external formation treatment, so that reversible lithium ions are transferred from each positive plate to each negative plate to be deposited; and taking out the positive and negative electrode sheets after the external formation treatment, so that the metal lithium precipitated on the negative electrode sheet can be directly recycled. This application can retrieve the metal lithium in the old and useless lithium cell, and the metal lithium of retrieving is comparatively pure. However, the process of transferring lithium ions from each positive plate to each negative plate for deposition through the external formation treatment is difficult to control, the selection of voltage has a great influence on the deposition effect of the metal lithium, and the deposition effect is relatively poor in actual operation, so that the metal lithium is difficult to effectively recover.

Detailed Description
When metals in traditional waste anode materials are recovered, metal ions are generally leached by acid, and then the metals are recovered by extraction, chemical precipitation and other modes. The invention provides a method for recovering metal from a waste lithium battery anode material, which comprises the following steps:
(1) raw material preparation
Uniformly stirring the waste anode material, the binder and the conductive agent, coating the mixture on an electrode, controlling the coating thickness to be less than 5mm to prepare a cathode, and inserting the cathode into electrolyte. Wherein the waste positive electrode material comprises one or more of lithium cobaltate, lithium manganate, lithium nickel cobalt manganese oxide or lithium nickel cobalt aluminate. PVDF is adopted as the binder. Acetylene black is used as the conductive agent. The electrolyte is a mixed solution of sulfuric acid and lithium sulfate.
(2) Electrolysis-electrodeposition
And when the power is on, controlling the range of the power-on voltage to be 0-5V. Specifically, considering that the positive electrode material is mainly subjected to a reduction reaction to be dissolved into ions during electrolysis, in the actual production, the phenomenon that the decomposed heavy metal ions are subjected to a reduction reaction and then return to the cathode is often generated during conventional electrolysis, and repeated electrolysis is easily caused. According to the invention, researches show that the electrolytic voltage range is reasonably selected to avoid or slow down the phenomenon, so that the electrolytic voltage is not too high, the electrolytic voltage is preferably controlled to be 0.2-0.8V, and the electrolytic time is controlled to be 0.01 s. At this time, the positive electrode material starts to be dissolved, and the following reaction occurs during electrolysis:
cathode: 2LiMO2+2H++2e-=2Li++2M2++2H2O;
Anode: h2O-2e--=O2↑+2H+
Wherein M is metal such as nickel, cobalt and the like.
After the electrolysis is finished, the current direction is changed, and the cathode and the anode are exchanged, so that the heavy metal ions are subjected to reduction reaction and deposited on the other electrode. In order to ensure that heavy metal dissolved in electrolyte is electrodeposited on an electrode and further ensure that the electrodeposition is as sufficient as possible, the electrodeposition voltage is controlled to be 0.8-2V and the electrodeposition duration is controlled to be 0.02s through research, so that the electrodeposition can be effectively ensured to be sufficient. At this time, the other electrode gradually generates attachments, and the following reaction occurs in the process of electrodeposition;
cathode: m2++2e-=M;
Anode: 2H+-2e-=H2↑;
Wherein M is metal such as nickel, cobalt and the like.
The electrolysis-electrodeposition process is circularly repeated until the positive electrode material is completely dissolved.
It should be noted that the conventional electrolysis-electrodeposition does not change the direction of current, and usually an oxidation reaction occurs at the anode, the metal is dissolved in the electrolyte, a reduction reaction occurs at the cathode, and metal ions in the electrolyte are deposited on the cathode. However, according to the technical scheme of the invention, on one hand, by changing the current direction during electrolysis-electrodeposition, the metal ions dissolved in the electrolyte can be effectively prevented or reduced from depositing on the electrode made of the anode material, and the dissolution of the anode material and the separation of lithium and heavy metal are further realized. On the other hand, the electrolysis-electrodeposition process is carried out repeatedly in the system by controlling the electrolysis-electrodeposition time until the anode material is completely dissolved, so that the redox reaction on the electrode can be fully carried out, and pure lithium carbonate and heavy metal oxide can be obtained finally.
(3) Collecting
After the electrolysis-electrodeposition is finished, the attached matters on the carbon rod are scraped off by a scraper, and the electrolyte is collected.
(4) Product preparation
Calcining the collected attachments in a high-temperature furnace at 800-1000 ℃ for 2-5 h until carbon is completely gasified and volatilized to obtain a metal oxide product, wherein the chemical reaction is as follows: xM + O2=MxO2(ii) a Wherein M is a metal such as nickel, cobalt, etc., and x is 0.5-2.
