Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of material recovery, in particular to a method for recycling waste lithium iron phosphate.
Background
The lithium iron phosphate system lithium battery is a power battery with high electrochemistry and high safety, and in general, a special recovery system exists for recovering the positive pole piece containing the lithium iron phosphate in the battery after the positive pole piece is deactivated and scrapped. The current common method for recovering waste lithium iron phosphate is wet recovery, namely, metal ions (mainly lithium ions) in the lithium iron phosphate are totally leached, and then valuable metal ions are selectively recovered by adopting a mode of impurity removal and fractional precipitation. However, the recovery rate of the conventional wet recovery is low, and the main reason is that part of metal ions still exist in the waste residue or leaching solution obtained by precipitation in the treatment process and are not recovered, and if the recovery rate of the metal ions is to be improved, higher capital is required to upgrade recovery equipment such as an evaporation and concentration system (for example, to upgrade to an MVR system), or a part of products which can be recovered are required to be sacrificed, so that the low-cost and high-efficiency integrated full recovery of the waste lithium iron phosphate cannot be realized.

In order to achieve the above purpose, the technical scheme adopted herein is as follows:

concentrating the primary filtrate by a membrane system, and adding a precipitant to precipitate to obtain lithium salt and secondary filtrate;

In the recycling method of waste lithium iron phosphate, firstly, selectively extracting lithium from the waste lithium iron phosphate by using an oxidant and an acid solution to obtain a leaching solution containing lithium ions and leaching residues containing iron, phosphorus elements and other substances such as graphite of a pole piece, at the moment, firstly, adjusting the pH value of the leaching solution to enable some impurity ions such as iron and aluminum ions to precipitate out in the form of hydroxide or oxide, and then concentrating the obtained primary filtrate by using a membrane concentration process, wherein the process can prevent lithium salt in the filtrate from crystallizing compared with the existing MVR system component, and can further improve the purity of the obtained concentrated solution and reduce the energy consumption; concentrating, and adding precipitant to obtain high purity lithium salt. Meanwhile, iron powder is added into leaching slag containing iron and phosphorus elements as a reducing agent, and meanwhile, specific types of additives are introduced, so that a synergistic reaction can be carried out on the two substances, impurities such as titanium in the filter residue are induced to precipitate, the loss of the iron element is reduced, the impurity removal is efficiently realized, and the product after the impurity removal is oxidized to obtain the iron phosphate with higher purity. Finally, in order to realize high lithium ion recovery rate of the waste lithium iron phosphate, the technical scheme further recovers and converts the secondary filtrate and the tertiary filtrate generated in the process into a concentrate, the concentrate is in a liquid state and mainly contains lithium ions which are not recovered in the prior process, and meanwhile, the concentrate is acidic, so that the method can be used for leaching of primary filter residues, both lithium ions in the filter residues and lithium ions in the concentrate are enriched in the filtrate obtained by leaching, and then the lithium ions of the whole recovery product can be recovered by further carrying out process treatments such as membrane concentration and the like according to the treatment steps of the primary filtrate.

The recycling method of waste lithium iron phosphate is different from the embodiment 8 only in that the concentrate in the step (5) is not subjected to fine filtration and ultrafiltration treatment in the process of obtaining the concentrate, and the total concentration of impurity elements except lithium elements is 0.08g/L.
Effect example 1
In order to verify the high efficiency of the recycling method of the waste lithium iron phosphate, the impurity content of the iron phosphate, the iron content of the iron phosphate product, the phosphorus content of the iron phosphate product and the molar content ratio of the iron and phosphorus elements, and the specific surface area of the iron phosphate product prepared in the methods of the examples and the comparative examples are detected and counted, and finally the lithium recovery rate of the method is counted, wherein the calculation method of the lithium recovery rate is 100-m (lithium in mixed slag)/m (lithium in lithium iron phosphate pole piece powder); if no reclaimed water recycling system exists, only pure water is used for washing the lithium-containing mixed slag, the recovery rate of lithium is calculated to be 100-m (lithium in the mixed slag, lithium in the ferrophosphorus slag and lithium in the precipitated lithium mother solution)/m (lithium in the lithium iron phosphate pole piece powder), and finally purity detection is carried out on the prepared lithium salt.
The test results are shown in tables 1, 2 and 3.
TABLE 1
TABLE 2
TABLE 3 Table 3
As is apparent from tables 1 and 2, after the recovery method of the waste lithium iron phosphate is implemented, the recovery rate of lithium can reach more than 96%, the purity of the prepared ferric phosphate product is high, the main impurity concentration is not more than 5ppm at most, the specific surface area is moderate, and the phosphorus-iron ratio corresponds to that of a standard substance. In contrast, in the method described in comparative example 1, the secondary filtrate and the tertiary filtrate are not recovered and the primary filter residue is leached, so that lithium ions in the waste lithium iron phosphate cannot be fully recovered, and the lithium recovery rate is low; the conversion process of leaching residues in the method described in comparative example 2 is not carried out under nitrogen atmosphere, and partial iron and phosphorus loss can be caused when the leaching residues are dissolved in air atmosphere, so that the iron and phosphorus element content of the prepared product is low, and the specific surface area of the prepared product is low; the product of comparative example 3 does not introduce additives for synergism during conversion of leaching residues, so that good impurity removal and precipitation effects cannot be realized, the titanium impurity concentration is high, the titanium content of the finally prepared product is relatively high, and meanwhile, the yield of the ferric phosphate product is low; however, the content of the additive aluminum hydroxide introduced into the product of comparative example 4 is too high, so that the aluminum element of the final product is too high, which means that the additive addition amount cannot be too large in the method, and similarly, the addition amount of the ferrous phosphate octahydrate in the product of comparative example 5 is too large, and the iron phosphate and the quality and the specific surface area are not ideal; the additive of comparative example 6 was excessively small in addition amount, and similarly to comparative example 3, titanium impurities were not effectively removed. Comparative example 7 uses a relatively conventional MVR evaporation system to perform evaporative concentration on the primary filtrate, and the method is easy to cause lithium ion loss compared with a membrane concentration process; comparative example 8 and comparative example 9 were too high or too low in performing the pH adjustment of the leachate, resulting in too high impurity concentration or too low lithium recovery of the prepared lithium salt product. In contrast, in comparative examples 10 and 11, the recovery rate of lithium ions in the process was low or the impurity content of the obtained lithium salt was high due to too high or too low pH of the concentrate when leaching the primary filter residue. The impurity content of the concentrate itself in comparative example 12 was too high, thus resulting in a higher impurity content of the final lithium salt.
Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only intended to illustrate the technical solutions herein and not to limit the scope of protection herein, and although the present application has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, it should be understood by those skilled in the art that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solutions herein without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions herein.
