Description

Method for removing aluminum and copper in ferrophosphorus slag and application thereof
Technical Field
The embodiment of the application relates to the field of battery material recovery, for example, a method for removing aluminum and copper in ferrophosphorus slag and application thereof.
Background
In recent years, the lithium ion battery has the remarkable advantages of high specific capacity, stable performance, long service life and the like, and greatly promotes the application and development of the power battery of the new energy automobile. Among a plurality of positive electrode materials, the lithium iron phosphate has the advantages of low preparation cost, high safety performance and the like, is a mainstream lithium battery product in the current market, and has a large market share.
Along with the increase of the usage amount of lithium iron phosphate, the number of waste lithium iron phosphate batteries is also rapidly increased, and the waste lithium iron phosphate batteries are treated and recycled with high value, so that the problems to be solved in industry are gradually solved.
In general, in the waste lithium iron phosphate battery, the mass ratio of lithium iron phosphate is about 30-35%, the ratio of copper foil and aluminum foil is about 10%, and the contents of valuable metal elements Li, fe, cu and Al are far higher than the contents of corresponding elements in natural minerals, so that the waste lithium iron phosphate battery is also a raw material with recovery value.
Considering that the properties of Al, cu and Fe are similar and difficult to separate, the existence of the impurities can influence the recovery of ferrophosphorus slag to prepare battery grade ferric phosphate, influence the purity and yield of the ferric phosphate and further influence the electrochemical performance of the lithium iron phosphate battery anode material prepared by using the ferric phosphate.
Currently, for removing aluminum and copper impurities in ferrophosphorus slag after lithium extraction, there are related technologies of leaching impurities by alkali or adsorbing aluminum by an adsorbent, and related technologies of removing impurities and purifying by an acidic solution, for example, CN114852983a discloses a method for extracting battery grade ferric phosphate from ferrophosphorus slag which is a byproduct of recycling waste lithium batteries, and the ferrophosphorus slag powder is immersed in sodium hydroxide solution for reaction to remove aluminum; placing the ferrophosphorus waste residue after aluminum removal in a muffle furnace, and calcining at a high temperature in an air atmosphere to remove carbon; adding low-concentration acid liquor into ferrophosphorus waste residue powder after aluminum removal and carbon removal, and heating to react to remove copper impurities; adding acid liquor into the ferrophosphorus waste residue powder after copper removal, heating to carry out leaching reaction, and filtering to obtain pickle liquor; adjusting the pH value of the pickle liquor, and sequentially filtering, washing and drying to obtain the hydrated ferric phosphate. However, the impurity content in the iron phosphate recovered and prepared by the methods still does not reach the application standard of battery-grade iron phosphate, the process flow is complex, the efficiency is low, the impurity removal effect is poor, and the purity and the yield of the obtained iron phosphate product are low.
CN114920226a discloses a method for removing aluminum and copper impurities from ferrophosphorus slag after lithium extraction of a lithium iron phosphate battery, which comprises the steps of mixing the ferrophosphorus slag after lithium extraction of the lithium iron phosphate battery with fluoride, and roasting to obtain roasting slag containing aluminum and copper fluoride; mixing the roasting slag with water, carrying out leaching reaction under the condition of a certain pH value, and carrying out solid-liquid separation to obtain leaching liquid containing aluminum and copper complexes and ferrophosphorus slag after impurity removal. According to the scheme, acid-base leaching is not needed, the deep removal of Al and Cu impurities can be realized, but the fluorine salt with fluorine element and high price is needed to be used for treatment.
Therefore, a new scheme is still needed to be developed to effectively remove and separate aluminum and copper elements in the ferrophosphorus slag, so that the ferrophosphorus is enriched in high purity, and the high-purity ferric phosphate product is conveniently prepared subsequently, so that the high-value recycling of the ferrophosphorus slag is realized.

Comparative example 1
This comparative example provides a method for removing aluminum and copper from ferrophosphorus slag and preparing iron phosphate, which does not use an extraction organic phase to extract aluminum, namely, does not carry out step (3) and step (4), directly uses the copper-removed pickling solution obtained in step (2) as a ferrophosphorus solution in step (5), and has the same conditions as in example 1 except the above.
Comparative example 2
This comparative example provides a method for removing aluminum and copper from ferrophosphorus slag and preparing iron phosphate without using sodium sulfide, i.e., step (2) is: adding iron powder with the molar quantity of iron being 1.5 times of that of the solution into the pickling solution obtained in the step (1) to remove copper, reacting for 1.5 hours, and filtering to obtain the copper-removed pickling solution, wherein the conditions are exactly the same as in the example 1 except the above.
The iron phosphate obtained in examples 1 to 12 and comparative examples 1 to 2 was tested to obtain the composition index (mass content), purity of iron phosphate and recovery rate data of aluminum as shown in Table 1.
TABLE 1
Note that: in Table 1 "/" indicates that the Al recovery rate cannot be or need not be calculated.
As can be seen from table 1:
when the aluminum is not extracted in the impurity removal process, aluminum-containing impurities of iron phosphate are higher, the purity of the iron phosphate is greatly reduced, the electrochemical performance of the lithium iron phosphate anode material prepared later is affected, and the aluminum in the leaching solution cannot be recovered because the aluminum extraction step is not performed;
when sodium sulfide is not added or the content of the sodium sulfide is too low, the content of copper impurities in the leaching solution is high, and the existing ferric iron is simultaneously extracted in the subsequent aluminum extraction process, so that the purity of ferric phosphate is affected, and the recovery rate of aluminum is not high; excessive sodium sulfide content easily causes ferrous sulfide precipitation in the solution, and causes the introduction of impurities to reduce the purity of ferric phosphate;
the difference between example 12 and example 1 is that the extractant, which is di (2-ethylhexyl) phosphate without ionic liquid properties, is changed, and since the organic system is not conductive, electrodeposition of aluminum is not performed, and recovery of aluminum is not performed;
it can be seen from examples 13-16 that the selection of the appropriate ratio of extractant to diluent is beneficial to increase the extraction rate of aluminum, thereby reducing the content of impurity aluminum in the iron phosphate and increasing the purity of the iron phosphate.
