Abstract

PURPOSE:To efficiently process Ni-Cd battery waste under a condition generating no public nuisance by charging the Ni-Cd battery waste in pig iron held to a molten state and receiving a volatilized substance to recover a metal Cd as well as Ni as an Fe-Ni alloy. CONSTITUTION:Pig iron or steel is held in a molten state using an arc electric furnace or induction heating electric furnace. Ni-Cd battery waste or Ni-Cd battery waste having a reducing agent such as a coke powder compounded therewith is preliminarily formed into a pellet or briquet-shaped lumpy substance. This lumpy substance is charged in pig iron or steel held in the aforementioned molten state and metal Cd is recovered as a volatilized substance while Ni is recovered as an Fe-Ni alloy. As a result, the Ni-Cd battery waste can be efficiently processed under a condition generating no public nuisance.

Means for Solving the Problems> The above objects of the present invention can be achieved by employing the following means. That is, by introducing a Ni-Cd battery layer into molten pig iron or steel (hereinafter referred to as molten metal), the Cd content is reduced and volatile due to the sensible heat of the molten metal and the reducing atmosphere created by the carbon contained in the molten metal. The volatile matter is collected by a capacitor or the like, and metal Cd is obtained from the collected material. On the other hand, the Ni content of battery waste easily reacts with the molten metal to form an Fe-Ni alloy, so the form of the alloy is The Ni can be used as is, or if necessary, the Ni can be further separated. On the other hand, other components contained in battery waste include Na, K, Mn, and AI! ,
Si etc. form a so-called molten slag, so even if a small amount of Cd remains, by subsequent rapid cooling treatment such as water cooling, a glass-like material containing Cd can be formed. Since it becomes completely insoluble, Cd will not be eluted after that.

As mentioned above, since CD is recovered as a reduced and volatile product, the atmosphere must be kept in a reducing state, and normally carbon contained in the molten metal and 1300 to 1600'C
It is thought that a reducing atmosphere is formed due to the high temperature, but if the degree of oxidation of Cd in the battery layer is severe and the amount of carbon in the molten metal used is low,
Depending on the oxidation status of Cd, add a reducing agent such as coke powder for about 2 to 5 minutes.
It may be added by weight%.

The battery layer can be in various forms, but if it is in the form of powder or granules, it is better to use it as a lump of an appropriate size considering its reactivity with the molten metal. When blending the reducing agent, it is desirable to use both as a kneaded lump.

In addition, it is necessary to maintain the molten metal at as high a temperature as possible, both in terms of energy during the reaction and in order to have sufficient fluidity. Depending on the situation, it may be used as a container to hold molten metal.
A container with a heating mechanism such as an electric arc furnace or an induction heating electric furnace may be used. On the other hand, the condenser for recovering volatile substances must be maintained at about 500 to 600°C.
