With the mass growth of the world population and the rapid development of economy, the demand of more sustainable and multifunctional energy supply for human beings is urgent. At present, more than 80% of global energy sources come from fossil fuels such as natural gas, coal, petroleum and the like, which undoubtedly aggravates energy crisis and environmental pollution, it is increasingly important to seek more continuous and environmentally-friendly energy supply, and people realize clean production of energy sources by converting wind energy, solar energy, tidal energy, water energy and the like into electric energy. In addition, different types of batteries have been introduced, in particular lithium ion batteries, by means of Li+The storage and output of electric energy are realized by embedding and embedding the positive electrode and the negative electrode, and the electric energy is widely applied in life.
Although the lithium ion battery is called a "green battery", it is not really pollution-free. Compared with lead-acid batteries and nickel-chromium batteries, the lithium batteries do not contain heavy metals such as lead, cadmium and mercury which have high toxicity, but have more complex components, and if the components are discarded at will, the components have great influence on the environment and the human health. Firstly, the lithium battery anode material contains a large amount of heavy metals such as nickel, cobalt and manganese, which can cause serious pollution to soil and underground water on one hand and seriously threaten human life health on the other hand, for example, the metal oxide powder can cause serious damage to human respiratory tract and lung. Electrolyte and organic solvent in the battery are the most toxic parts, side reaction can occur in the battery circulation process to generate highly toxic substances, for example, lithium hexafluorophosphate as the electrolyte has strong corrosivity, hydrolysis of the lithium hexafluorophosphate can generate highly toxic HF gas and other P, F-containing chemicals, and if leakage occurs due to improper operation in the disassembling and processing processes, the electrolyte and the organic solvent can rapidly enter the surrounding environment to generate serious safety problems such as explosion, combustion, water body pollution and the like. Therefore, the standardization and safe recovery of the waste batteries are very necessary.
A commonly used positive electrode material for lithium batteries includes lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO)4) Lithium manganate (LiMn)2O4) Lithium cobaltate (LiCoO)2) Lithium nickel cobalt manganese oxide (LiNi)xCoyMn(1-x-y)O2) Lithium nickel cobalt aluminate (LiNi)xCoyAl(1-x-y)O2) And the types and the proportions of metal elements in the material are different, and the energy density, the stability, the endurance and other performances of the battery are far from each other. Therefore, at present, the waste lithium batteries are classified and then recovered by different methods, and a series of problems of long flow, high construction cost, difficult treatment of emissions and the like exist, so that a method for uniformly treating and recovering the waste batteries is urgently needed.
