Description

Background
Over the last decades, lithium ion batteries have been used in large numbers in the automotive propulsion field, as these batteries can provide reliable service for many years and are expected to be usable for about 10 years under normal driving conditions. These lithium ion batteries can then be used for utility energy storage until the end of their useful life.
Environmental problems caused by the disposal of lithium ion batteries have attracted public general attention. The need to extract raw materials from a limited supply in the earth is reduced if the available materials can be recovered from the used batteries. In addition, if the used lithium ion battery is recyclable, significant negative environmental impact caused by mining and processing of ore can be avoided.
In the year 2016, 12, the industrial information department issues a temporary method for recycling and managing the power storage battery of the new energy automobile, which makes sure that an automobile production enterprise bears the main responsibility of recycling the power storage battery, requires a producer to take responsibility in the whole life cycle of the product, connects production and recycling in series, and improves the recycling rate. The european union committee promulgates new european batteries for the year 2020, 12, aiming to ensure that batteries put into the european union market have sustainability and safety throughout the life cycle. Under a large environment, various battery manufacturers such as Ningde times, biedi, middle-navigation lithium batteries, guozhen high-power and ultra-power are actively distributing lithium batteries for recycling.
The methods for recycling lithium battery materials on the market generally comprise the following steps: physical methods (including crushing and sorting processes), chemical methods (including pyrometallurgical and wet recovery processes), biological metallurgical techniques, and the like. These methods are relatively effective for recovering lithium, cobalt, phosphorus, iron, etc. materials in lithium ion batteries, but they also have a common problem in that the purity of the recovered materials is insufficient. Because the pole piece of the lithium ion battery needs to be matched with the foil to realize good functions, and the aluminum foil is the current foil with highest neutral price ratio, most of pole pieces of the lithium ion battery are tightly adhered with the aluminum foil. The current recovery method is difficult to effectively separate the pole piece from the foil, so that the recovery material contains higher aluminum impurities, the purity of the lithium ion material is influenced, and the subsequent reutilization is prevented.
