Description

Method for recovering lithium from lithium iron phosphate
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of waste material resource recycling, and particularly relates to a method for recycling lithium from lithium iron phosphate.
Background
Lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO)4) The high-power energy storage battery has the advantages of high theoretical capacity, theoretical energy density, high working voltage, excellent safety, low cost, no toxicity and the like, and is widely applied to the fields of electric automobiles and energy storage. Due to the rapid development of new energy industry, the scrappage of lithium iron phosphate batteries will increase rapidly in the future, and the large amount of stacked waste batteries not only greatly wastes resources, but also has great threat to the environment by potential fluorine-containing components (electrolyte). However, the lithium iron phosphate contains low value-added substances except lithium. Therefore, development of low-cost LiFePO4The high-efficiency lithium extraction technology of the anode material has important significance.
Hydrometallurgy prefers to leach lithium in acidic media by addition of oxidants and form FePO by controlling acidity4Precipitating, namely, decommissioning LiFePO4Conversion to FePO4. In addition to using inorganic acids as leaching agents, organic acids such as citric acid, succinic acid, malic acid, aspartic acid, oxalic acid, and the like can achieve complete dissolution by complexation with transition metal ions, and leaching efficiency depends on parameters such as acid concentration, temperature, reaction time, and solid-to-liquid ratio. It has been reported that the compounds are produced by Na2S2O8And H2O2By redox reaction of (3), LiFePO4Can be converted into FePO4And Li+Description of the Oxidation Process on waste LiFePO4Is of critical importance. However, a large amount of acid and oxidant such as H are needed to achieve the desired leaching effect, the acid concentration is between 1.0 and 3.0M2O2It is required to be 2 to 6 vol%. The precise recovery of the target metal by a large amount of acid or oxidizing agent is practically ineffective, and the unreacted acid or oxidizing agent eventually flows into the waste water, causing secondary pollution and increasing the cost of the recovery process. Therefore, the balance between the simplification of the recovery process and the saving of chemicals/energy consumption should be fully considered to achieve efficient, green recovery of the scrap metal. There have also been some studies showing that the electrochemical oxidation by pulp electrolysis can effectively promote the oxidation of lithium iron phosphate and the leaching of lithium, and avoid the addition of oxidant, but pulp electrolysis usually requires more than 6h because of the higher pulp viscosity and the lower reactivity of solid particles on the electrode surface.
Therefore, the method for rapidly extracting lithium from waste lithium iron phosphate is urgent at present, and can solve the problems of long time consumption, low electric energy utilization rate, large acid and oxidant consumption and the like in the prior art.

Example 1:
a1, mixing 100 g of lithium iron phosphate waste (the lithium iron phosphate waste consists of 70% of lithium iron phosphate, 5% of binder PVDF, 17.5% of carbon, 6% of electrolyte, 0.8% of metal copper scraps and 0.7% of aluminum scraps) with 100 mL of NMP (N-methyl pyrrolidone), stirring for 2 h at 60 ℃, repeatedly washing filter residues for 2 times under the above conditions after filtering, then washing the obtained solid for 1 time at normal temperature by 100 mL of deionized water, and drying the obtained solid to obtain a lithium iron phosphate raw material (the processed lithium iron phosphate waste consists of 84.1% of lithium iron phosphate, 1% of binder PVDF, 14% of carbon and 0.9% of electrolyte);

When the voltage was 1.8V, the electrolysis time was 8 min, and Li had completely migrated to the cathode side.
Example 3
In this example, the voltage in step a4 in example 1 was changed to 2.0v, and the other conditions were kept unchanged.
The basis for judging the completeness of phosphomolybdic acid oxidation in step A4 of example 3 is: the filtrate on the anode side changed from dark blue to yellow completely and did not change color within 2min, and the test result is shown in fig. 4, when the voltage was 2V, the electrolysis time was 2min, and Li had completely migrated to the cathode side.
Example 4
This example provides a method for recovering lithium from lithium iron phosphate, in which phosphomolybdic acid was replaced with phosphotungstic acid (H) in example 33PW12O40PWA), keeping other conditions unchanged, and the specific process is as follows:
A1. adding 200mmol of phosphomolybdic acid (PMA) into 500 ml of deionized water, and stirring and dissolving to obtain a leaching solution; adding 52.6g of lithium iron phosphate raw material (400 mmol, n (LFP/PMA =2: 1)), stirring at room temperature for 2min, and filtering to obtain filtrate 1;
A2. taking the filtrate 1 in A1, adding 75 mmol of lithium phosphate into the filtrate, uniformly stirring the mixture, reacting the mixture for 10min, and filtering the mixture to obtain a filtrate 2;
A3. taking the filtrate 2 in the A2, pumping the filtrate into an anode chamber of an electrolytic cell, pumping LiOH solution with certain concentration into a cathode chamber, electrolyzing for 2min at a constant voltage of 2V, recovering anolyte and testing the mobility of element Li in the catholyte 3;
A4. to the anolyte in a3, 52.6g of a lithium iron phosphate raw material was added to obtain filtrate 4 and the leaching rate of element Li was tested.
And diluting the filtrate 1, the filtrate 2, the catholyte 3 and the filtrate 4 by 100 times, and then carrying out an ICP-OES test. The leaching rates of Li and Fe elements in the filtrate 1 are respectively 75.2% and 14.9%; the leaching rate of Fe in the filtrate 2 is reduced to 0.6 percent; the mobility of Li in the catholyte 3 is 98%; the leaching rates of Li and Fe elements in the filtrate 4 are respectively 63.1% and 8.6%.
The redox sequence of a common heteropolyacid is as follows: phosphomolybdic acid > silicomolybdic acid > phosphotungstic acid > silicotungstic acid. The iron lithium phosphate is leached by using the oxidation of the heteropoly acid, and the oxidability of the heteropoly acid is an important measurement standard. The leaching effect of the phosphomolybdic acid is better because the phosphomolybdic acid is more oxidizing. This also explains the difference in Li leaching solutions at the same molar ratio. After phosphomolybdic acid is replaced by phosphotungstic acid, the Li leaching rate in the filtrate 1 is reduced.

The present test example tested the reaction between phosphomolybdic acid regenerated in the anode chamber in step a3 of example 1 and the lithium iron phosphate raw material.
And D, taking the anolyte obtained in the step A3, adding 52.6g of lithium iron phosphate raw material, and observing that the leachate immediately changes from yellow to dark blue. ICP analysis of the leachate is shown in tables 2 and 3.

According to ICP analysis of the filtrate, the leaching process was completed when the reaction time was 2 min. The leaching rate of Li was 99.2%, and the leaching rate of Fe was 22.1%. Therefore, the regenerated phosphomolybdic acid can continuously react with the lithium iron phosphate raw material to realize circulation.
Adding 75 mmol of lithium phosphate into the leaching solution, uniformly stirring, reacting for 10min, and measuring that the content of Fe in the solution in the filtrate is reduced from 22.1% to 0.2%.
Test example 2
The test example tested a CV curve for a PMA solution at pH = 2.0.
Phosphomolybdic acid (H)3PMo12O40PMA) can theoretically oxidize lithium iron phosphate. As shown in FIG. 1, there are 4 pairs of distinct redox peaks in the CV curve of PMA solution, the peaks have good symmetry, indicating that PMA ox /PMA red The reversibility of the redox couple is good. FePO is known4/LiFePO4The oxidation-reduction potential is 3.4V vs (Li/Li)+) About 0.2V vs (Ag/AgCl), and the potential corresponding to the PMA redox peak is about 0.4V vs (Ag/AgCl) as indicated by the arrow in FIG. 1.
