With the continuous development and application of lithium ion batteries, the demand of ternary lithium batteries is continuously increased, and a large number of waste lithium batteries are also generated. According to statistics, in 2018-2020, the power batteries are scrapped for 12-20 ten thousand tons in a national way, and the waste ternary lithium batteries become a non-negligible part in the solid waste. Therefore, the nickel cobalt lithium is recovered from the waste ternary lithium battery, so that the environmental pollution can be avoided, and the pressure of nickel cobalt lithium resources can be relieved. However, a great amount of iron-aluminum waste residues are generated in the current process for recycling nickel-cobalt-copper-lithium from waste lithium batteries, and the iron-aluminum waste residues contain more nickel-cobalt-copper and other high-valence metal elements, so that if the waste residues are not used for recycling resources, the resource waste is caused, and the pollution risk is brought to the environment.

The method shows that the sodium carbonate is used as an aluminum precipitating agent, the nickel cobalt copper content in the aluminum slag is large, the recovery rate is low, and particularly the copper content is higher than 1%, so that for the treatment of the iron aluminum slag with low nickel cobalt copper content, the method has the advantages that the calcium carbonate is used as an aluminum removing agent, the nickel cobalt copper content in the slag is low, the calcium carbonate is lower in price than the sodium carbonate, and the aluminum removing cost is low.
Comparative example 2 (calcium carbonate slurry was added at one time)
The difference from example 1 is that the calcium carbonate slurry is added to the sulfuric acid leach solution at one time in step (2), resulting in:
in the obtained Fe-Al-Ca waste residue, the nickel content is 0.42%, the cobalt content is 0.15%, and the copper content is 0.82%.
Calculated according to 350mL of sulfuric acid leaching solution and 98g of iron-aluminum-calcium waste residue, the recovery rate of nickel is 36.8%, the recovery rate of cobalt is 49.4%, and the recovery rate of copper is 27.3%.
Comparative example 3 (aluminum removal at room temperature)
The difference from example 1 is that the reaction was carried out without heating in step (2), and the reaction was carried out at room temperature, resulting in:
in the obtained Fe-Al-Ca waste residue, the nickel content is 0.18%, the cobalt content is 0.12%, and the copper content is 0.68%.
Calculated according to 350mL of sulfuric acid leaching solution and 98g of iron-aluminum-calcium waste residue, the nickel recovery rate is 72.9%, the cobalt recovery rate is 59.5%, and the copper recovery rate is 39.7%.
Comparative example 4 (omitting the Nickel cobalt copper precipitation step)
The difference from example 4 is that step (4) was omitted, the pH value of aluminum removal liquid 1# was adjusted to 4, the temperature was heated to 70 ℃, 10% sodium carbonate solution was slowly added, the stirring speed was 300r/min, the pH value of the reaction liquid was detected to be 5.2, the addition of 10% sodium carbonate was stopped, stirring was further stopped for 10min, stirring was stopped, standing for 20min, filtration was performed, and a small amount of water was added to rinse the filter cake to obtain secondary aluminum removal slag and filtrate, respectively; the detection shows that the content of aluminum in the filtrate is 0.051g/L and the content of iron is 0.001g/L. It can be seen that the iron in the solution is easier to remove, and is basically stable after the step (2), reaching 1-2 ppm. As compared to example 4, it was found that the nickel cobalt copper precipitation step was advantageous for further removal of aluminum.
