Description

Method for selectively recycling lithium from waste lithium battery
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of lithium battery recovery treatment, in particular to a method for selectively recovering lithium from waste lithium batteries.
Background
The lithium ion battery has the advantages of high energy density, high discharge voltage, long cycle life and the like, and is widely applied to the fields of portable appliances, new energy automobiles and the like. The electrochemical performance and cost of the lithium ion battery are determined by the anode material to a great extent, however, cobalt metal in the raw material is expensive and depends on import seriously, and meanwhile, the cobalt element easily causes heavy metal pollution; the country is the country of lithium ion battery production and consumption. The trend towards continued increases is expected to remain for some time in the future. New energy automobiles are increasingly huge in sales volume, and the coming of power batteries is a peak of retirement in the next few years. Therefore, there must be a large amount of battery retirement in the near future. At present, how to effectively recycle and resource-utilize waste lithium batteries has become a social concern. Electrolyte in the waste lithium battery has toxicity and corrosiveness; carbonates (e.g., EC, EMC, DMC, DEC, etc.) as organic electrolytic agents are harmful to human bodies and can cause serious environmental pollution problems if discarded directly without proper treatment. Meanwhile, the waste lithium battery also contains abundant metal resources such as iron, lithium, aluminum and the like, wherein the lithium content is about 1 percent, which is higher than that of common lithium ores, and has higher recovery value.
The leachate for recovering Co and Li includes inorganic and organic leachate. Inorganic leaches such as sulfuric acid, nitric acid, hydrochloric acid and phosphoric acid are typically combined with a reducing agent such as hydrogen peroxide to dissolve Co and Li in the cathode of the lithium battery. Because of the corrosiveness of acids, some studies have focused on safer organic extracts such as malic acid, lactic acid, citric acid, and oxalic acid. The reducing agent is critical in the leaching process to increase the insoluble Co in the cathode of a used lithium battery by reduction 3+ Conversion to soluble Co 2+ . So far, the suggested inorganic reducing agents include sodium bisulphite, sodium sulphite and ferrous iron, whereas the suggested organic reducing agents are glucose, ascorbic acid and ethanol. Although organic reducing agents are less hazardous, leaching is inefficient and costly.
The prior art CN108550939A discloses a method for selectively recovering lithium from waste lithium batteries and preparing lithium carbonate, which has the defects of high energy consumption, high pollution, higher nitric acid use cost, low resource utilization rate and the like because the positive electrode powder of the waste batteries and a nitrating agent are mixed, subjected to nitration reaction and subjected to roasting.
Therefore, how to treat the waste lithium batteries in a harmless, low-cost and high-recovery way and realize the green and environment-friendly recycling of the waste lithium batteries has become a problem which needs to be faced by human beings. Due to the characteristics of relatively low content of valuable metals in the lithium battery, if the traditional waste lithium ion battery treatment method is adopted, the problems of longer recovery flow, secondary pollution and the like exist, and the dilemma of poor economic benefit due to relatively low product purity or performance exists. Therefore, reasonable approaches and process conditions are sought to recycle the waste lithium batteries, the influence of harmful substances in the waste lithium batteries on the environment and human health is reduced to the maximum extent, certain economic benefits are generated, and the method has important significance for environmental protection and economic and social development in China.
