Description

本発明は、電気自動車やハイブリッド自動車等の電源として使用された廃リチウムイオン電池の処理装置及び処理方法、並びに廃リチウムイオン電池を処理する際に用いられる耐熱容器に関する。 The present invention relates to a processing apparatus and processing method for a waste lithium ion battery used as a power source for an electric vehicle, a hybrid vehicle, or the like, and a heat-resistant container used for processing the waste lithium ion battery.

リチウムイオン電池は、アルミ箔にリチウム、コバルト、ニッケル等を塗布した正極材と、銅箔に黒鉛等を塗布した負極材と、電解液と、セパレーター等で構成される。リチウムイオン電池は、リチウム、コバルト、ニッケル、銅、アルミニウム等の有価物を含むため、廃棄されたリチウム電池からこれらの有価物を回収することは、資源に乏しいわが国にとって極めて有益である。そこで、廃リチウムイオン電池から上記有価物を回収するため、焙焼、破砕又は粉砕、篩分け、選別等による分離回収が行われている。 A lithium ion battery is composed of a positive electrode material in which lithium, cobalt, nickel or the like is coated on an aluminum foil, a negative electrode material in which graphite or the like is coated on a copper foil, an electrolytic solution, a separator or the like. Since lithium-ion batteries contain valuable resources such as lithium, cobalt, nickel, copper, and aluminum, it is extremely beneficial for Japan, which is scarce in resources, to recover these valuable resources from discarded lithium batteries. Therefore, in order to recover the valuable resources from the waste lithium ion battery, separation and recovery by roasting, crushing or crushing, sieving, sorting and the like are performed.

しかし、リチウムイオン電池の電解液には、電解質となるフッ素化合物(LiPF6等)が含まれており、LiPF6は水と反応すると加水分解して有毒なフッ化水素を発生する。そこで、特許文献1には、複数個のリチウムイオン電池セルが配列された電池モジュールが箱型筺体内に複数収納されてなる電池パックを排気口が設けられた耐熱容器に格納した後、耐熱容器を熱処理炉に投入して還元雰囲気下で300℃〜650℃で加熱することで、耐熱容器部の電池パックを乾留して炭化混合物を分離すると共に、電池内の電解液を揮発化して耐熱容器の排気口から熱処理炉内に排出させることで、極めて簡易な作業で廃リチウムイオン電池をリサイクル処理する方法が開示されている。 However, the electrolytic solution of the lithium ion battery contains a fluorine compound (LiPF 6 or the like) that serves as an electrolyte, and when LiPF 6 reacts with water, it hydrolyzes to generate toxic hydrogen fluoride. Therefore, in Patent Document 1, a battery pack in which a plurality of battery modules in which a plurality of lithium ion battery cells are arranged is housed in a box-shaped housing is stored in a heat-resistant container provided with an exhaust port, and then the heat-resistant container is provided. Is put into a heat treatment furnace and heated at 300 ° C. to 650 ° C. in a reducing atmosphere to dry-distill the battery pack in the heat-resistant container to separate the carbonized mixture, and volatilize the electrolytic solution in the battery to heat the heat-resistant container. A method of recycling a waste lithium-ion battery by discharging it into a heat treatment furnace from the exhaust port of the above is disclosed.

一方、特許文献2には、廃リチウムイオン電池を処理する際に、揮発性のフッ素化合物(LiPF6等)等を安全に処理するため、放電処理を行った後、安全弁を開口し、フッ素化合物を含む電解液の揮発成分を減圧下で加熱して気化させる気化工程、気化したガスに含まれるフッ素成分をカルシウムと反応させてフッ化カルシウムとして固定するフッ素固定工程等を備えるフッ素含有電解液の処理方法が記載されている。 On the other hand, in Patent Document 2, in order to safely treat volatile fluorine compounds (LiPF 6 etc.) and the like when treating waste lithium ion batteries, after performing discharge treatment, a safety valve is opened and the fluorine compounds are treated. A fluorine-containing electrolytic solution comprising a vaporization step of heating the volatile component of the electrolytic solution containing the above to vaporize it under reduced pressure, a fluorine fixing step of reacting the fluorine component contained in the vaporized gas with calcium and fixing it as calcium fluoride, and the like. The processing method is described.

Since it may occur, safety issues remain. In addition, it takes a long time for natural cooling, which hinders efficient processing.

After opening the door 24, the slide base 21 is moved to the right via the transport device 29, the heat-resistant container 2N is moved to the front of the furnace body door 7b, and then the door 24 is closed and the furnace body door 7b is opened. Then, the pusher portion 4a (see FIG. 7) of the container transport device 4 is advanced to put the heat-resistant container 2N into the heat-resistant furnace 3. As a result, the heat-resistant container 2N is placed on the hearth 17 of the heat treatment furnace 3 at the 9 o'clock position in FIG.

容器搬送装置4のプッシャー部4aを後退させた後、炉体扉7bを閉鎖し、炉床回転装置19を介して炉床17を45゜左回転させる。この45゜の回転は、特に限定されるものではないが、例えば、37.5分毎に炉床17を45゜ずつ回転させることで、5時間で炉床17が1回転するように設定している。 After retracting the pusher portion 4a of the container transport device 4, the furnace body door 7b is closed, and the hearth 17 is rotated counterclockwise by 45 ° via the hearth rotating device 19. This rotation of 45 ° is not particularly limited, but for example, by rotating the hearth 17 by 45 ° every 37.5 minutes, the hearth 17 is set to rotate once in 5 hours. ing.

上記動作をさらに、7回繰り返すことで、熱処理炉3の炉床17上には、図1に示したように、隣接する耐熱容器2が一定の間隔を開けた状態で8個の耐熱容器2が環状に載置される。 By further repeating the above operation 7 times, as shown in FIG. 1, eight heat-resistant containers 2 are placed on the hearth 17 of the heat treatment furnace 3 with adjacent heat-resistant containers 2 at regular intervals. Is placed in a ring.

上記動作の間、耐熱容器2は熱処理炉3内で1周する間に外側から加熱されることで、耐熱容器2内は還元雰囲気となり、耐熱容器2に格納された電池パック50の樹脂製の筐体等のプラスチック類は、乾留により炭化混合物としてリチウム、コバルト、ニッケル、マンガン等の有用金属が含まれた材料から分離された状態となっている。尚、耐熱容器2はアルミニウムの融点(660℃)よりも低い温度(650℃)で加熱されるので、電池パック50内で使用されたアルミニウム成分が溶け出すことはない。また、電池内の電解液は揮発し、プラスチック等の可燃性物質が熱分解することによって発生したガスと共に、耐熱容器2の排気管2gから熱処理炉3内に排出される。熱処理炉3内の未燃焼ガスは二次燃焼室に導かれ、熱処理炉3の温度(650℃)よりも高い温度(800℃)で燃焼する。 During the above operation, the heat-resistant container 2 is heated from the outside while making one round in the heat-resistant container 3, so that the inside of the heat-resistant container 2 becomes a reducing atmosphere, and the battery pack 50 stored in the heat-resistant container 2 is made of resin. The plastics such as the housing are in a state of being separated from the material containing useful metals such as lithium, cobalt, nickel and manganese as a carbonization mixture by carbonization. Since the heat-resistant container 2 is heated at a temperature (650 ° C.) lower than the melting point of aluminum (660 ° C.), the aluminum component used in the battery pack 50 does not melt out. Further, the electrolytic solution in the battery volatilizes and is discharged into the heat treatment furnace 3 from the exhaust pipe 2g of the heat-resistant container 2 together with the gas generated by the thermal decomposition of the flammable substance such as plastic. The unburned gas in the heat treatment furnace 3 is guided to the secondary combustion chamber and burns at a temperature (800 ° C.) higher than the temperature (650 ° C.) of the heat treatment furnace 3.

耐熱容器2が熱処理炉3内で1周する前に、図9に示すように、電池パック50を格納した新たな耐熱容器2Nを左端部に載置したスライドベース21の右半分を炉前室23に挿入する。この際、扉24は閉じられている。 As shown in FIG. 9, the right half of the slide base 21 on which the new heat-resistant container 2N containing the battery pack 50 is placed on the left end is placed in the furnace front chamber before the heat-resistant container 2 makes one round in the heat treatment furnace 3. Insert into 23. At this time, the door 24 is closed.

耐熱容器2が熱処理炉3内で1周すると、炉体扉7bを開放して容器搬送装置4のプルアウト部4bを耐熱容器2の位置まで前進させ、図7に示すように、プルアウト部4b先端に設けられた爪4cを、耐熱容器2に設けられたハンガー2pに係止させる。そして、プルアウト部4bを後退させ、図10に示すように、熱処理後の耐熱容器2Tを熱処理炉3から引き出してスライドベース21上に載置し、炉体扉7bを閉鎖する。 When the heat-resistant container 2 makes one round in the heat treatment furnace 3, the furnace body door 7b is opened and the pull-out portion 4b of the container transport device 4 is advanced to the position of the heat-resistant container 2, and as shown in FIG. 7, the tip of the pull-out portion 4b is advanced. The claw 4c provided in the heat-resistant container 2 is locked to the hanger 2p provided in the heat-resistant container 2. Then, the pullout portion 4b is retracted, and as shown in FIG. 10, the heat-resistant container 2T after the heat treatment is pulled out from the heat treatment furnace 3 and placed on the slide base 21, and the furnace body door 7b is closed.

次に、扉24、25を開放した後、スライドベース21を右方に移動し、電池パック50を格納した新たな耐熱容器2Nを炉体扉7bの正面まで移動させると共に、熱処理済みの耐熱容器2Tを冷却室31に移動させて扉24、25を閉じる。この状態を図11に示す。 Next, after opening the doors 24 and 25, the slide base 21 is moved to the right, the new heat-resistant container 2N containing the battery pack 50 is moved to the front of the furnace body door 7b, and the heat-treated heat-treated container is moved. The 2T is moved to the cooling chamber 31 and the doors 24 and 25 are closed. This state is shown in FIG.

図11の状態から、新たな耐熱容器2Nを上述の要領で熱処理炉3内に投入して加熱すると共に、熱処理済みの耐熱容器2Tを冷却室31で冷却する。冷却室31において、図4に示すように、エアシリンダ37で排水管35を上昇させ、排水管35の先端のパッキン36に耐熱容器2の突出管2dを挿入する。その状態で、フレキシブルホース39に冷却水を供給し、流調弁38で冷却水の量を調整しながら給水管34を経て噴霧ノズル33から冷却水を耐熱容器2の冷却空間2c内に万遍なく噴霧する。これによって、耐熱容器2の内筒2a内の電池パック50が冷却される。電池パック50を冷却することで生じた水蒸気は、耐熱容器2の突出管2dの内部を通過して排水管35、フレキシブルホース40を経て外部に排出される。尚、電池パック重量や加熱温度が変化した場合でも、流調弁38で水の噴霧量を調整することで冷却時間を調整することができる。また、排出した水蒸気を凝縮させて冷却水として循環使用することもできる。 From the state of FIG. 11, a new heat-resistant container 2N is put into the heat treatment furnace 3 and heated as described above, and the heat-treated heat-resistant container 2T is cooled in the cooling chamber 31. In the cooling chamber 31, as shown in FIG. 4, the drain pipe 35 is raised by the air cylinder 37, and the protruding pipe 2d of the heat-resistant container 2 is inserted into the packing 36 at the tip of the drain pipe 35. In that state, the cooling water is supplied to the flexible hose 39, and the cooling water is uniformly supplied into the cooling space 2c of the heat-resistant container 2 from the spray nozzle 33 via the water supply pipe 34 while adjusting the amount of the cooling water with the flow control valve 38. Spray without. As a result, the battery pack 50 in the inner cylinder 2a of the heat-resistant container 2 is cooled. The water vapor generated by cooling the battery pack 50 passes through the inside of the protruding pipe 2d of the heat-resistant container 2, passes through the drain pipe 35, and the flexible hose 40, and is discharged to the outside. Even if the weight of the battery pack or the heating temperature changes, the cooling time can be adjusted by adjusting the amount of water sprayed by the flow control valve 38. It is also possible to condense the discharged water vapor and circulate it as cooling water.

次に、扉24、25を開放した後、冷却済みの耐熱容器2Cが載置されたスライドベース21を左方に移動させ(図12参照)、クレーン等で次工程へ搬送する。 Next, after opening the doors 24 and 25, the slide base 21 on which the cooled heat-resistant container 2C is placed is moved to the left (see FIG. 12) and transported to the next process by a crane or the like.

冷却後の加熱処理済みの耐熱容器2Cは、内部の電池パック50を破砕、分級して炭化混合物を取り除いた後、リチウム、コバルト、ニッケル、マンガン等の有用金属をさらに分離する処理が行われる。また、電池パック50の破砕物を磁選機にかけて、鉄筐体、ねじ等の磁着物と、銅とアルミニウムからなるミックメタルに分離し、ミックメタルを比重選別してアルミ塊及び銅塊と、銅箔及びアルミ箔の積層物とに分けた後、選別機でさらに銅箔とアルミ箔とに分けることができる。 The heat-resistant container 2C that has been heat-treated after cooling is subjected to a treatment of crushing and classifying the internal battery pack 50 to remove a carbonized mixture, and then further separating useful metals such as lithium, cobalt, nickel, and manganese. Further, the crushed material of the battery pack 50 is subjected to a magnetic separator to separate a magnetic material such as an iron housing and a screw and a mic metal composed of copper and aluminum, and the mic metal is sorted by specific gravity to form an aluminum block, a copper block, and copper. After separating into a laminate of foil and aluminum foil, it can be further separated into copper foil and aluminum foil by a sorter.

また、冷却室31からのフッ化水素、塩化水素等を含む有害ガスは、排ガス処理装置によってセメントキルンの排ガス処理系統に供給し、セメント製造工程内のセメント原料に固定化して無害化する。 In addition, harmful gas containing hydrogen fluoride, hydrogen chloride, etc. from the cooling chamber 31 is supplied to the exhaust gas treatment system of the cement kiln by the exhaust gas treatment device, and is immobilized on the cement raw material in the cement manufacturing process to make it harmless.

尚、熱処理炉3は、炉床17が回転するものでなくてもよく、バッチ式のものでも適用可能である。また、耐熱容器2は熱処理炉3内で一周するものではなくてもよく、所定の時間を経過したものは熱処理炉3から排出してもよい。また、熱源として電気や重油を使用した各種炉を使用することもでき、既存の製造設備、例えば、セメント焼成装置からの排ガスを熱源として用いてもよい。 As the heat treatment furnace 3, the hearth 17 does not have to rotate, and a batch type can also be applied. Further, the heat-resistant container 2 does not have to go around in the heat treatment furnace 3, and the heat-resistant container 2 may be discharged from the heat treatment furnace 3 after a predetermined time has passed. Further, various furnaces using electricity or heavy oil can be used as a heat source, and exhaust gas from an existing manufacturing facility, for example, a cement firing device may be used as a heat source.

また、本実施の形態では、電池パック50を電池セルを個々に取外すことなくそのままの状態のものに対して加熱処理したが、電池パック50から分解した電池モジュール単位のものや、電池セルを個々に取外したものを格納した耐熱容器2を熱処理炉3に投入して加熱処理してもよい。 Further, in the present embodiment, the battery pack 50 is heat-treated as it is without removing the battery cells individually, but the battery pack 50 is disassembled from the battery pack 50 and the battery cells are individually removed. The heat-resistant container 2 containing the removed one may be put into the heat treatment furnace 3 for heat treatment.
