In order to achieve the technical aim, the invention provides a method for preparing battery grade ferric phosphate by utilizing waste lithium iron phosphate battery anode powder, which comprises the following steps:
1) The method comprises the steps of (1) carrying out oxidation acid leaching on waste lithium iron phosphate battery anode powder, wherein the pH value of a leaching end point is 1.5-2.0, and the oxidation-reduction potential is 400-550 mV, so as to obtain a leaching solution I and ferrophosphorus slag I;

K (K) + 、Na + 、Cl - 、SO 4 2- Is water-soluble and can be easily removed by washing, ca 2+ 、Mg 2+ 、Al 3+ 、Cu 2+ 、Ni 2+ 、Zn 2+ And the like, must be reduced to a suitable level prior to precipitation of the iron phosphate to produce a acceptable battery grade iron phosphate product. The prior art can not thoroughly separate the waste lithium iron phosphate anode powder, and the grade of lithium is greatly reducedThe lithium iron phosphate anode powder is doped with a large amount of impurities such as aluminum, copper, nickel, manganese, cobalt, niobium, titanium and the like, for example, the composition (mass percentage content) of the waste lithium iron phosphate anode powder is shown in table 1.
TABLE 1 composition of waste lithium iron phosphate Positive electrode powder
The technical scheme of the invention adopts a two-stage leaching method to realize preferential lithium extraction, and simultaneously, impurities such as copper, aluminum, nickel, manganese, zinc and the like which influence the quality of ferric phosphate can be leached out as much as possible while the preferential lithium extraction is realized, the leaching rate of lithium is 95-98%, the leaching rate of copper is 80-90%, the leaching rate of nickel is more than 95%, and the leaching rate of aluminum is 60%.

The second stage leaching is mainly carried out by acidity, so that a small amount of lithium and residual valuable metals can be further leached, the purity of the ferrophosphorus slag II is mainly improved, the concentration of the lithium and other valuable metals in the leaching liquid II is lower, the leaching liquid II has higher acidity, and the leaching liquid II can return to the next stage leaching process, thereby realizing the recycling of acid and the further enrichment of various valuable metals. Although the two-stage leaching can leach lithium with high efficiency and dissolve most of copper, aluminum, nickel, manganese, zinc and other impurities, the ferrophosphorus leaching solution still contains copper, aluminum, nickel, manganese, zinc, titanium, niobium, calcium, magnesium and other impurities affecting the quality of ferric phosphate, and the impurities need to be removed to a proper level before ferric phosphate is precipitated. In the impurity removal process, firstly, insoluble impurities are filtered and separated by adopting an acid dissolution means, the hydrolysis pH based on ferric iron is lower, precipitation can occur at about pH=1.5, the precipitation is complete at about pH=3, and the pH at which ferrous iron begins to precipitate is far higher than that of ferric iron, so that ferric iron is reduced and converted into ferrous iron, and a great amount of precipitation loss of generated iron is avoided.

As a preferable scheme, in the oxidation acid leaching process, concentrated sulfuric acid is used as a leaching agent, hydrogen peroxide is used as an oxidant, and the addition amount of the concentrated sulfuric acid is 10-40% of the mass of the anode powder of the waste lithium iron phosphate battery. The hydrogen peroxide is a green oxidant, so that the introduction of impurity ions can be reduced, and the sulfuric acid and the hydrogen peroxide are combined to be used, so that metals such as copper and the like which are difficult to leach out can be leached out.
As a preferable scheme, the conditions of the oxidation acid leaching are as follows: the liquid-solid ratio L/S=3 mL/1 g-4 mL/1g, the leaching temperature is 40-80 ℃ and the leaching time is 20-60 min. Under the preferential oxidation acid leaching condition, by controlling the end point pH and oxidation-reduction potential, efficient selective leaching of lithium and most of copper, aluminum, nickel, manganese, zinc and other impurities can be realized, while ferric phosphate is enriched in a slag phase, and proper heating conditions can accelerate the leaching process, and excessive temperature easily causes iron loss.

The simple substance iron powder is usually selected as the reducing agent, but the iron content in the solution is increased, so that the iron-phosphorus ratio is seriously out of balance, and therefore, a phosphorus source needs to be supplemented, so that the iron-phosphorus ratio is re-balanced, the method is equivalent to that the newly supplemented iron source and the phosphorus source are used for preparing battery grade ferric phosphate in a system containing a large amount of impurities, and the high-purity phosphorus source is relatively expensive, so that the iron is unreasonable as the reducing agent.
As a preferable scheme, the conditions of the hydrolysis impurity removal are as follows: the pH value is regulated to 3.5-5.0, the temperature is 60-90 ℃ and the time is 10-60 min. In the hydrolysis precipitation process by adjusting the pH, niobium, titanium, etc. are preferentially hydrolyzed and removed, and when the pH is further raised to about 4, aluminum is precipitated and removed to form aluminum phosphate.
