This application is, however, susceptible of embodiment in many other forms than those described herein and similar modifications can be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit of the application, and therefore the application is not to be limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.
Referring to fig. 1 and 2, the waste battery recycling system in an embodiment of the present application at least can improve the aging efficiency of the binder and reduce the energy consumption. Specifically, the waste battery recycling system comprises a crushing device, a battery material decomposing device 10 and a screening device, wherein the crushing device is used for crushing waste batteries; the battery material decomposing device 10 is arranged at the downstream of the crushing device, the feeding end of the battery material decomposing device 10 is abutted to the discharging end of the crushing device, the screening device is arranged at the downstream of the battery material decomposing device 10, the discharging end of the battery material decomposing device 10 is abutted to the feeding end of the screening device, and the screening device is used for screening battery materials.
The crushing device can crush the waste batteries, crushed battery materials are thrown to the feeding end of the battery material decomposing device 10 from the discharging end of the crushing device, the battery material decomposing device 10 is used for ageing a binder in the battery materials, the efficiency and the effect of separating electrode particles from a current collector are improved, and the screening device can effectively separate the electrode particles from the current collector.
In one embodiment, the battery material decomposing apparatus 10 includes a decomposing body 100, a material conveying assembly 200, an ultraviolet light source assembly 300, an ozone generator 400 and a heating assembly 500, wherein a decomposing cavity 110 is formed in the decomposing body 100; the material conveying assembly 200 is disposed in the decomposition chamber 110, and the material conveying assembly 200 is used for conveying battery materials along a conveying direction a; the ultraviolet light source assembly 300 is disposed in the decomposition chamber 110 and above the material conveying assembly 200, and the ultraviolet light source assembly 300 is configured to emit ultraviolet light to the material conveying assembly 200; the ozone generator 400 is used for generating ozone, the decomposing body 100 is also provided with an air inlet 120 and an air outlet 130, the air inlet 120 and the air outlet 130 are both communicated with the decomposing cavity 110, and an air outlet end 410 of the ozone generator 400 is connected to the air inlet 120 of the decomposing body 100; the heating assembly 500 is disposed in the decomposition chamber 110, and the heating assembly 500 is used for heating the decomposition chamber 110.
Specifically, the material feeding end of the material conveying assembly 200 is abutted against the material discharging end of the crushing device, and the material discharging end of the material conveying assembly 200 is abutted against the material feeding end of the screening device.
When the battery material crushing device is used, the crushed battery material is thrown to the feeding end of the material conveying assembly 200, and then is thrown into the decomposing cavity 110 of the decomposing body 100, and the material conveying assembly 200 conveys the crushed battery material along the conveying direction a. Because the ultraviolet light source assembly 300 is disposed in the decomposition chamber 110 and above the material conveying assembly 200, the ozone generator 400 can supply ozone to the decomposition chamber 110, and the heating assembly 500 can heat the decomposition chamber 110, so that the battery material on the material conveying assembly 200 is in ozone, ultraviolet irradiation and high temperature environment. The electrode particles in the battery material are generally adhered to the current collector through the adhesive, so that the adhesive can be oxidized and disabled rapidly under the action of ozone on one hand, and on the other hand, the photo-oxidative aging by ultraviolet light irradiation and the thermal oxidative aging by heat generated by the heating component 500 are utilized to effectively accelerate the aging of the adhesive, weaken the adhesive force of the adhesive and enable the electrode material to be peeled off from the current collector more easily. By adopting the method of accelerating the aging of the adhesive by ultraviolet irradiation under the ozone environment, the particles can be efficiently crushed, separated and separated in a short time, so that the energy consumption of the heating assembly 500 can be reduced, and the energy consumption of crushing and sieving the battery materials is reduced. Meanwhile, the battery material decomposition device 10 does not need to use chemical solvents, and further does not involve environmental pollution and damage caused by using harmful chemical solvents, which is more environmentally friendly than many conventional treatment methods.
Ozone can be rapidly decomposed into oxygen and active oxygen, and active oxygen atoms have strong oxidation effect and can be combined with unsaturated bonds in the adhesive, so that the molecular chains of the adhesive are broken in the combining stage, and the ageing of the high-molecular adhesive is caused. The adhesive will change in two ways after being heated: one is physical change, the thermoplastic resin with a linear structure is expressed as rotation and melting, and the thermosetting resin is expressed as larger deformation under the action of external force; the other is chemical change, which is mainly represented by thermal decomposition, and oxygen is generated in the oxidation reaction process due to ozone, and the binder is promoted to be simultaneously subjected to oxidative cleavage in the thermal decomposition state. Under the condition of heating and oxygen-containing, the binder is easier to generate photochemical reaction under ultraviolet light, the ultraviolet light can trigger the binder to generate photochemical reaction so that molecular chains are decomposed and crosslinked irreversibly to generate chemical change, and if chain decomposition is dominant, the binder can be softened; if crosslinking predominates, the binder becomes brittle. Further, the battery material decomposing device 10 enhances each other by promoting each other among ozone, ultraviolet light and heat, so that the effect of using the three materials independently is achieved. In the embodiment, the method of accelerating the aging of the adhesive by ultraviolet irradiation in the ozone environment can improve the crushing and separation efficiency of the electrode material to more than 95%.
In one embodiment, the air inlet 120 is disposed near the discharging end of the material conveying assembly 200, and the air outlet 130 is disposed near the feeding end of the material conveying assembly 200, so that the flowing direction b of ozone in the decomposing cavity 110 is opposite to the conveying direction a. By reversing the flow direction b of ozone in the decomposition chamber 110 to the transport direction a of the battery material, the battery material having a higher temperature after heating can be reacted with ozone having a higher concentration. At higher temperature, ozone can be rapidly decomposed into oxygen and active oxygen, and active oxygen atoms have strong oxidation, so that more effective and strong oxidation reaction can be generated with the binder with higher temperature, and the aging speed of the binder is improved. At the loading end of the material conveying assembly 200, the temperature of the battery material is relatively low, so that the ozone concentration is increased, on the one hand, the ozone decomposition effect is poor, and on the other hand, the oxidation reaction effect of the battery material at a lower temperature is also poor.
In one embodiment, the ultraviolet light source assembly 300 includes a first ultraviolet light source 310 and at least two second ultraviolet light sources 320, wherein the first ultraviolet light source 310 is used for emitting ultraviolet light with a wavelength of 170nm-200nm, the second ultraviolet light source 320 is used for emitting ultraviolet light with a wavelength of 250nm-400nm, all the second ultraviolet light sources 320 are arranged at intervals along the conveying direction a, and the first ultraviolet light source 310 is arranged between two adjacent second ultraviolet light sources 320. Because the ozone generates oxygen and active oxygen atoms after decomposition, the concentration of the ozone tends to decrease along the flowing direction b of the ozone, and the concentration of the oxygen increases along with the reaction, so that the oxygen can be further converted into ozone under the ultraviolet light with the wavelength of 170nm-200nm emitted by the first ultraviolet light source 310, the ozone concentration is improved, and the ozone can be further decomposed to obtain oxygen and active oxygen atoms under the ultraviolet light with the wavelength of 250nm-400nm emitted by the second ultraviolet light source 320. With the progress of the oxidation reaction, the concentration of ozone and the effect of the oxidation reaction can be effectively improved by arranging the second ultraviolet light source 320, the first ultraviolet light source 310 and the second ultraviolet light source 320 to sequentially and alternately decompose and generate ozone.
Specifically, the first ultraviolet light source 310 is configured to emit ultraviolet light having a wavelength of 185 nm. Or the first ultraviolet light source 310 may emit ultraviolet light at other wavelengths effective to promote ozone generation.
Specifically, the second ultraviolet light source 320 is configured to emit ultraviolet light having a wavelength of 300nm to 400nm, and at this wavelength, the second ultraviolet light source 320 can effectively promote photooxidation reaction of the adhesive, and at the same time has an effect of decomposing ozone. Alternatively, the second ultraviolet light source 320 is configured to emit ultraviolet light having a wavelength of 250nm to 300nm, at which the second ultraviolet light source 320 is capable of effectively promoting decomposition of ozone while simultaneously achieving photooxidation of the adhesive. In this embodiment, the binder is PVDF (polyvinylidene fluoride) and the second ultraviolet light source 320 is configured to emit ultraviolet light at a wavelength of 370 nm. In other embodiments, the wavelength emitted by the second ultraviolet light source 320 may also be selected based on the band of ultraviolet light to which the adhesive is susceptible to aging.
In the present embodiment, the length of the second ultraviolet light source 320 tends to increase along the conveying direction a. Since the concentration of ozone tends to increase along the conveying direction a, the length of the second uv light source 320 is increased at the position of the material conveying assembly 200 at or near the discharging end, which can increase the distance of the reaction of ozone decomposition oxidation and increase the effect of the second uv light source 320 on the photo-oxidation reaction of the binder. As the concentration of ozone decreases, the length of the second uv light source 320 needs to be decreased, increasing the number or length of the first uv light sources 310, and thus increasing the generation of ozone.
In this embodiment, the length of the second ultraviolet light source 320 is longer than that of the first ultraviolet light source 310, so as to ensure the photooxidation effect and the ozonolysis oxidation effect.
In an embodiment, if the second uv light source 320 is a strip lamp, the length of the second uv light source 320 is the length of the strip lamp, and if the second uv light source 320 is composed of a plurality of lamp beads, the length of the second uv light source 320 is the arrangement length of the plurality of lamp beads.
In an embodiment, the heating assembly 500 includes a first heater 510 and at least two second heaters 520, all the second heaters 520 are disposed at intervals along the conveying direction a of the material conveying assembly 200, the first heater 510 is disposed between two adjacent second heaters 520, the position of the first heater 510 corresponds to the position of the first uv light source 310, and the position of each second heater 520 corresponds to the position of a second uv light source 320. Under the heating condition, the decomposition of ozone can be promoted, so that the effect of promoting the oxidative aging of the adhesive can be ensured by keeping the second heater 520 on at the position corresponding to the second ultraviolet light source 320, and the ozone can be generated by promoting the oxygen on the position corresponding to the first ultraviolet light source 310, so that the first heater 510 can be selected to be turned off, so that the temperature of the position corresponding to the first ultraviolet light source 310 can be properly reduced, and the generation of ozone can be promoted.
In this embodiment, the material conveying assembly 200 includes a conveying belt 210, a driving wheel 220 and a driven wheel 230, the conveying belt 210 is wound around the driving wheel 220 and the driven wheel 230, the heating assembly 500 is disposed between the driving wheel 220 and the driven wheel 230 and between the upper conveying belt 210 and the lower conveying belt 210, and the first heater 510 and the second heater 520 are arranged along the length direction of the conveying belt 210. Since the battery material is placed on the upper conveyor belt 210, the distance between the first heater 510 and the second heater 520 and the battery material can be shortened by providing the first heater 510 and the second heater 520 between the upper conveyor belt 210 and the lower conveyor belt 210, and the heating effect on the battery material can be improved.
In other embodiments, the material conveying assembly 200 may be of other types of structures, such as roller conveying structures, so long as the conveyance of the battery material is enabled.
In this embodiment, the battery material decomposing apparatus 10 further includes a decomposing controller and ozone concentration detectors 600, the ozone concentration detectors 600 are consistent with the first uv light sources 310 in number, each ozone concentration detector 600 is disposed on one side of the second uv light source 320 near the corresponding first uv light source 310 along the flowing direction b of ozone, and the ozone concentration detector 600 is located between the material conveying assembly 200 and the uv light source assembly 300. The ozone concentration detector 600 and the first heater 510 are electrically connected to a decomposition controller, and the decomposition controller is used for controlling the operation of the first heater 510 according to the detection signal of the ozone concentration detector 600. Since the heating promotes the decomposition of ozone and reduces the ozone generating effect, the on and off of the first heater 510 can be controlled by detecting the ozone concentration of the side of the second ultraviolet light source 320 near the first ultraviolet light source 310. If the concentration is high, the first heater 510 can be kept on, and if the concentration is low, the first heater 510 can be controlled to be turned off, so that the ozone generating effect is improved.
Referring to fig. 1 and 3, in an embodiment, the battery material decomposition device 10 further includes a heat pump assembly 700 and a cooling assembly 800, the cooling assembly 800 is disposed on a side wall of the decomposition body 100 where the ultraviolet light source assembly 300 is disposed, and is used for cooling the ultraviolet light source assembly 300, and the heat pump assembly 700 is connected to the cooling assembly 800 and is used for cooling the cooling assembly 800. Because the ultraviolet light source assembly 300 is disposed in the decomposition chamber 110, and the heating assembly 500 is used for heating the decomposition chamber 110, the ultraviolet light source assembly 300 is affected by heat of the ultraviolet light source assembly 300, and is affected by heat generated by the heating assembly 500, so that the temperature of the ultraviolet light source assembly 300 is high, and the use stability is affected. By providing the cooling assembly 800 to cool the uv light source assembly 300, the reliability of the use of the uv light source assembly 300 can be improved.
