Description

Comprehensive recovery method of waste lithium manganate cathode material
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of waste cathode material recovery, in particular to a comprehensive recovery method of a waste lithium manganate cathode material.
Background
In recent years, the electric automobile industry in China is rapidly developed, and the sales volume of electric automobiles is increasing day by day. However, the average service life of the power battery in the electric automobile is about 10 years, and the electric automobile which enters the market at an early stage has already entered the battery retirement stage at present. According to the market research and prediction, the scrappage of the lithium battery for the automobile reaches 32GWh in 2020, and the scrappage of the battery is converted into the quality of about 50 ten thousand tons; by 2030 years, the scrappage of the lithium battery for the vehicle can reach 300GWH, and the scrappage of the lithium battery is about 300 ten thousand tons. Lithium batteries are mainly classified into lithium iron phosphate batteries, ternary lithium batteries, lithium titanate batteries, lithium manganate batteries and the like according to different anode materials, and lithium manganate batteries are increasingly emphasized by virtue of the advantages of good rate performance, easiness in preparation, low cost and the like. At present, the price of metal raw materials such as lithium, manganese and the like for preparing a ternary cathode material or a lithium manganate cathode material is high and the demand is large. Therefore, the method for extracting metals such as lithium, manganese and the like from the waste lithium batteries can solve the problem of raw material supply and create great benefit for the society.
The key link of the recovery of the lithium manganate anode material is to separate and purify lithium and manganese in the lithium manganate anode material, and then further prepare related lithium salt and manganese salt. According to the Chinese patent with the application number of 201710380170.0, the lithium manganate positive electrode material obtained by disassembly is added with organic acid for reduction leaching, lithium is extracted from the leaching solution through a phosphoric acid extractant, and the back extraction solution is added with carbonate to prepare lithium carbonate. The method adopts organic acid leaching, so that the leaching rate of valuable metals is low, and the difficulty and the cost of later-stage wastewater treatment are higher; meanwhile, the lithium is extracted from the manganese-containing lithium leaching solution by the extractant, so that the selectivity is poor, the extraction efficiency is low, and the production cost is high. The Chinese patent with the application number of 201811093693.8 utilizes a nanofiltration membrane technology to separate lithium ions from other cations different from the lithium ions in the acidified leachate to obtain a lithium-containing solution and a solution containing other cations, and then adopts a reverse osmosis technology to concentrate and enrich the lithium-containing solution and the solution containing other cations respectively; the process has the advantages of low lithium separation efficiency, large water consumption and low lithium enrichment concentration, so the recovery process is long and the cost is high. The Chinese patent with the application number of 202110677455.7 puts the pretreated lithium manganate anode material into inorganic acid, and after high-pressure reaction, alpha-MnO is obtained 2 Or beta-MnO 2 Or gamma-MnO 2 Thereby preparing MnO with larger specific surface area and porous structure 2 The product can be further used for battery anode materials andand (3) super capacitor electrode material. Although the method can well realize the recycling of the lithium manganate cathode material, impurity ions are difficult to control in the treatment process, and the obtained material is not stable enough in performance and is not suitable for wide popularization and application.
In conclusion, the existing waste lithium manganate positive electrode material recovery process has the problems of low recovery rate of valuable metals, long process flow, low production efficiency, high recovery treatment cost, low added value of products and the like.
