Description

Method for extracting lithium from waste lithium ion battery anode material
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of resource recovery, and particularly relates to recovery of waste lithium ion batteries.
Background
Along with the continuous promotion of the strategy of pure electric driving of the national new energy automobile, the development of the Chinese new energy automobile industry is rapid, and the lithium ion battery, especially the ternary lithium ion battery, has become the main stream of the new energy automobile battery due to the advantages of high energy density, long service life and the like. Along with the rapid increase of the demand of the power lithium batteries, the quantity of the retired power batteries is increased, and the power batteries contain a large quantity of recyclable high-value metals such as lithium, nickel, cobalt and the like, and belong to valuable urban mineral resources.
In recent years, recycling enterprises generally focus attention on high-valued conversion of nickel and cobalt, the recycling value of lithium is weakened, lithium is usually precipitated as a byproduct or is enriched in slag, and efficient recycling cannot be achieved. In combination with the current state of lithium resources, there is a great need to increase the importance of recycling lithium in waste lithium ion batteries.
Aiming at the recovery of lithium in the waste power battery, most recovery enterprises currently adopt a technical route of recovering nickel, cobalt and manganese firstly and then recovering lithium, namely a wet treatment process of reduction acid leaching, chemical impurity removal, extraction separation. The method can realize the efficient leaching of metal elements in the anode material, but the subsequent separation process is longer because lithium and nickel cobalt manganese are leached out simultaneously, and the concentration of lithium ions is lower, so that a certain difficulty is brought to the subsequent recovery. To change the problems of the back-end recovery of lithium, studies on the front-end part of the recovery process have been conducted.
Chinese patent document CN 114162840A discloses a method for preferentially extracting lithium from retired ternary lithium battery materials, wherein in the step (1), a certain amount of retired ternary lithium battery materials are mixed by a certain amount of ternary acid leaching residues, magnesium chloride is added, and the mixture is obtained by mixing and stirring; step (2) reducing and roasting the mixture at a certain temperature; crushing and sieving the roasting material in the step (3) to obtain a sieving material; step (4), adding screening materials and a certain amount of pure water into a carbonization kettle for size mixing, introducing carbon dioxide for carbonization reaction, and filtering and separating to obtain carbonized liquid and nickel cobalt manganese slag; step (5) heating and decomposing the carbonized liquid at a certain temperature to separate out lithium carbonate, and returning the separated mother liquid to carbonization reaction; and (6) introducing the separated lithium carbonate into a centrifugal machine for separation and purification, and drying to obtain the battery-grade lithium carbonate. However, the preferential extraction of lithium by carbothermic reduction is not thorough in transformation of lithium and low in water solubility of lithium carbonate, resulting in low recovery of lithium. Chinese patent document CN115074540a discloses a comprehensive recovery method of valuable components of waste power batteries, comprising the following steps: (1) Mixing and roasting the waste power battery raw material and sulfate to obtain calcine; (2) Leaching the calcine with water, and filtering to obtain nickel-cobalt-manganese slag and lithium-rich solution; (3) Acid leaching is carried out on the nickel-cobalt-manganese slag, and acid leaching liquid is obtained through filtration; (4) Carrying out displacement copper removal treatment on the pickle liquor, and filtering to obtain copper-removed liquor; (5) And (3) carrying out high-temperature impurity removal and optional deep impurity removal on the copper-removed liquid to obtain a nickel-cobalt-manganese-containing sulfate solution. Chinese patent document CN111206148A discloses a method for preparing ternary cathode material by recovering waste ternary lithium battery, comprising the following steps: 1) Mixing the pretreated nickel cobalt lithium manganate waste anode powder with sulfate, and roasting to obtain a roasting product; 2) Leaching the roasting product by water to obtain leaching liquid and leaching slag; the water immersion liquid contains lithium salt; 3) Reacting the water leaching slag with an acid solution and hydrogen peroxide to obtain a nickel cobalt manganese leaching solution; 4) Removing impurities from the nickel-cobalt-manganese leaching solution, extracting cobalt, manganese and nickel, and saponifying and back-extracting the obtained organic phase to obtain pure cobalt sulfate, manganese sulfate and nickel sulfate solution; 5) And coprecipitating the nickel sulfate, cobalt sulfate and manganese sulfate solution, a sodium hydroxide solution and ammonia water, mixing the obtained precursor with lithium carbonate, sintering, and screening iron to obtain the ternary positive electrode material. However, the vulcanizing roasting method has extremely high requirements on roasting equipment, materials are easy to adhere to the inner wall of a kiln in the roasting process, equipment is easy to damage, and the hardening phenomenon of the materials is serious and is not easy to treat. In addition, the impurity cations such as potassium/sodium in the sulfate such as sodium bisulfate/potassium bisulfate are excessively introduced, which affects the quality of the subsequent lithium carbonate product.
