The embodiment of the application provides a recycling method of a waste lithium titanate electrode slice, as shown in fig. 1, comprising the following steps:
s1, providing a lithium titanate electrode plate, wherein the lithium titanate electrode plate comprises an electrode current collector and a first coating coated on the electrode current collector, the material of the first coating comprises lithium titanate, and the lithium titanate is separated from the electrode current collector in a solution environment to obtain a first mixture comprising the lithium titanate and the electrode current collector;
s2, removing and recycling the electrode current collector in the first mixture to obtain a second mixture containing lithium titanate;
s3, carrying out solid-liquid separation on the second mixture to obtain a solid third mixture, wherein the third mixture comprises lithium titanate;
and S4, calcining the third mixture in an atmosphere containing oxygen to obtain the lithium titanate material.
In the recycling method of the embodiment of the application, the lithium titanate electrode plate is taken as a recycling object, the lithium titanate in the lithium titanate electrode plate is separated from the electrode current collector, and then the electrode current collector and the lithium titanate are recycled respectively, so that the original structure of the lithium titanate is effectively maintained in the whole recycling process, and the recycling method has the advantages of simple flow, low equipment requirement, easiness in controlling process conditions, lower cost, safety and environmental friendliness.
Specifically, in step S1, the lithium titanate electrode sheet may be obtained by subjecting a discarded battery or cell to a self-discharge, disassembly, or other steps, and the electrode current collector is made of, for example, aluminum foil. It is understood that the solution does not chemically react with lithium titanate in the lithium titanate electrode sheet to avoid damaging the structure of the lithium titanate; the solution and the electrode current collector in the lithium titanate electrode sheet can not react chemically, so that the structure of the electrode current collector is prevented from being damaged. The solution may be a neutral solution (e.g., pH 7-7.5) and the solution may be, for example, water.
In order to avoid damage to the structures of the lithium titanate and the electrode current collector in the lithium titanate electrode sheet and to ensure the safety and environmental protection of recovery, in some embodiments of the present application, the step of separating the lithium titanate from the electrode current collector in the environment of the solution includes: a lithium titanate electrode sheet was placed in the solution, and lithium titanate was separated from the electrode current collector with stirring.
It should be noted that, if the solution is an acidic solution (e.g., pH less than 7) or an alkaline solution (e.g., pH greater than 7.5), the acidic solution or the alkaline solution may chemically react with the electrode current collector, thereby destroying the original structure of the electrode current collector, so that the metal element in the electrode current collector enters the solution in an ionic form, thereby improving the difficulty of recovering the electrode current collector and increasing the recovery cost; in the second aspect, the acidic solution can chemically react with lithium titanate, so that the original structure of the lithium titanate is damaged, only lithium salts (such as lithium carbonate) and titanium salts (such as titanium dioxide, metatitanic acid and the like) can be recovered and obtained, and the recovered lithium salts and titanium salts are recycled to chemically synthesize the lithium titanate, so that the recovery process is complicated and complicated, and the recovery cost is increased; in the third aspect, the recovery apparatus is required to have acid resistance or alkali resistance, and the demand for the apparatus is higher.
If the solution is an organic solvent, there are problems: in the first aspect, in the subsequent recovery process, the organic solvent is not easy to remove, so that the recovery difficulty is increased; in the second aspect, the organic solvent is expensive, resulting in an increase in recovery cost; in the third aspect, the organic solvent has peculiar smell, and part of the organic solvent has inflammability and explosiveness, which is not beneficial to safety and environmental protection.
For ease of operation, in some embodiments of the present application, the step of separating lithium titanate from the electrode current collector in the environment of the solution is performed in a reaction vessel equipped with a stirring paddle. In order to facilitate separation of the lithium titanate from the electrode current collector, the lithium titanate electrode sheet may be cut into pieces and then placed in a reaction vessel containing the solution (e.g., water). The stirring speed may be 400r/min to 600r/min, for example, 400r/min, 500r/min, 600r/min, or a value between any two of the above values.
For ease of operation and control, in some embodiments of the present application, step S2 includes: the first mixture is subjected to filtration treatment, and the obtained retentate is an electrode current collector. And cleaning, drying and other procedures are carried out on the trapped electrode current collector, so that recovery is realized. It is understood that the apparatus for implementing the filtering process is not particularly limited as long as it is capable of separating lithium titanate from an electrode current collector.
