For many years, the production and application of electric vehicles have been significantly increased under the push of urgent demands for improving the environment and saving energy. Meanwhile, a large number of scrapped lithium ion batteries are rapidly accumulated, and if the scrapped batteries are not properly treated, heavy metals and other toxic and harmful substances contained in the scrapped batteries can cause serious environmental pollution. The waste battery is a battery which is discarded after long-time use, has a larger drop in the existing capacity than the initial capacity or has a larger damage to the battery structure, and cannot meet the normal use. Taking an electric automobile as an example, the service life of the power battery is about 3-5 years. When the capacity of the power battery is reduced to less than 80% of the initial capacity, the power battery can be considered as incapable of meeting the daily use, and a new battery needs to be replaced.
The lithium resources contained in the lithium ion battery are national strategic metals, and are also the shortage resources in China, so that the recovery significance of lithium in the positive electrode material is great. In addition, the recycling of the lithium ion battery not only can reduce environmental pollution, but also has certain economic benefit and great propulsion effect on the sustainable development of the battery industry.
Since the commercialization time of lithium cobaltate and lithium iron phosphate is long, there are a large number of retired waste lithium cobaltate and lithium iron phosphate batteries on the market. The current common recovery method for these two batteries is acid leaching, i.e. leaching valuable metals with inorganic and organic acids. The acid leaching method is to completely destroy the integral structure of the material, so that all metal ions in the material are transferred into an aqueous solution, and selective separation cannot be achieved. The acid leaching process also has the following problems: the process flow is complex, the operation steps are complex, the economic benefit is low, a large amount of water resources are consumed, and the influence of the subsequently generated wastewater on the environment is large.
