- the solution which consists of the processing liquid which consists of and the filtrate after the sulfurization process was obtained.
- Table 1 shows the composition of the obtained solution.
- the solution contained lithium based on lithium hexafluorophosphate as the positive electrode active material.
- the following operation was continued using this lithium-containing solution as a lithium recovery target.
- an 8 mol / l sodium hydroxide (NaOH) solution is added to 100 ml of the lithium-containing solution shown in Table 1 to adjust the pH of the solution to 9.5, and water is added to hexafluorophosphate ions contained in the solution. Decomposed. The solution was stirred at room temperature until precipitation of hydrolyzed phosphate ions or fluoride ions with lithium was completed. Precipitation was completed after 1 hour and the resulting precipitate was filtered. Table 2 shows the composition of the filtrate obtained after filtration.
- the filtrate after filtration contained almost no phosphorus or fluorine. This is because the pH was raised by the addition of a sodium hydroxide solution, so that hexafluorophosphate ions were hydrolyzed, and phosphate ions and fluoride ions generated by hydrolysis were dissolved in lithium ions and phosphorus ions in the solution. It is considered that precipitates of acid salts and fluoride salts were formed, and it was considered that phosphorus and fluorine in the solution could be effectively separated and removed by removing the precipitates.
- an extraction solvent consisting of 100 ml of a mixed solution of 50 v / v% D2EHPA (manufactured by LANXESS) and 50 v / v% DIBK (manufactured by Kyowa Hakko) is added to the solution (filtrate) shown in Table 2. Then, a solvent extraction treatment for extracting lithium from the filtrate was performed. At that time, 8 mol / l sodium hydroxide solution was added to the solution and mixed to adjust the pH to 11. After the pH adjustment, when the extraction solvent separated, the operation of adding a new extraction solvent mixture again was repeated 5 times to perform the solvent extraction operation. By this operation, 120 ml of extraction residue was finally obtained. Table 3 shows the composition of the obtained extraction residual liquid.
- Example 2 in the hydrolysis treatment and precipitation formation treatment of hexafluorophosphate ions by addition of alkali hydroxide in Example 1, 8 mol / l potassium hydroxide (KOH) was used as the alkali hydroxide to be added instead of sodium hydroxide solution. ) The operation was performed in the same manner except that the solution was used. Table 5 shows the analytical values of the filtrate after the hydrolysis treatment and precipitation formation treatment with a potassium hydroxide solution.

As lithium was recovered. That is, unlike Example 1, the filtrate after the precipitation treatment was not subjected to solvent extraction treatment, but was subjected to carbonation treatment to recover lithium. Table 6 shows analytical values of the mother liquor after carbonation treatment, and Table 7 shows the quality of the lithium carbonate crystals.
- carbonic acid treatment is performed regardless of whether a sodium carbonate (Na 2 CO 3 ) solution or a potassium carbonate (K 2 CO 3 ) solution is used as a carbonating agent.
- the detection value of phosphorus and fluorine contained in the lithium crystal was below the lower limit of detection (0.01 g / l), and lithium containing no phosphorus or fluorine impurities could be recovered as a carbonate.
- the pH is increased by developing alkali hydroxide in the discharge liquid or cleaning liquid as a precipitation forming step, and phosphate or It was found that lithium can be recovered without contamination by phosphorus or fluorine by forming a sparingly soluble fluoride salt and removing phosphorus and fluorine.
- Comparative Example 1 On the other hand, in Comparative Example 1, the solvent shown in Table 1 recovered from the discharge liquid and the cleaning liquid was directly used as the solvent without performing the hydrolysis treatment and the precipitation formation treatment by addition of alkali hydroxide as in the above-described Examples. An extraction operation was performed.
- Comparative Example 2 Further, in Comparative Example 2, the carbonation treatment was performed on the solution shown in Table 1 recovered from the discharge liquid and the cleaning liquid without performing the hydrolysis treatment and the precipitation formation treatment by addition of alkali hydroxide as in the above-described Examples.

4.実施例
本発明は、リチウムイオン電池から有価金属であるリチウムを回収する方法であって、リチウムイオン電池から分離したヘキサフルオロリン酸リチウムを含有するリチウム含有溶液、より詳しくはリチウムイオン電池から有価金属を回収する工程においてスラリーを濾過した後に排出された放電液や洗浄液等の処理液や、ニッケル及びコバルトを硫化物として生成させる硫化工程後の濾液等のリチウム含有溶液から、リン(P)やフッ素(F)等の不純物の混入を防止して、効率的にリチウムを回収する方法である。
まず、本実施の形態におけるリチウムイオン電池からの有価金属の回収方法を、図1に示す工程図を参照して以下に説明する。図1に示すように、有価金属の回収方法は、放電工程と、破砕・解砕工程と、洗浄工程と、正極活物質剥離工程と、浸出工程と、硫化工程とを有する。そして、リチウムを回収する方法として、上述した放電工程及び洗浄工程等から排出されリチウムイオン電池から分離した放電液や洗浄液等の処理液や硫化工程後の濾液等のリチウム含有溶液を用い、それらリチウム含有溶液にアルカリを添加してpHを上昇させリン酸塩及びフッ化物塩の沈殿を形成する沈殿形成工程と、沈殿形成工程にて形成された沈殿を除去した濾液からリチウムを回収するリチウム回収工程とを有する。以下では、リチウムイオン電池からニッケル及びコバルトを回収する工程、並びにその工程において排出される放電液と洗浄液等のリチウム含有溶液からリチウムを回収する工程について順に説明する。
(放電工程)
放電工程では、使用済みリチウムイオン電池から有価金属を回収するにあたって使用済み電池を解体するに先立ち、電池を放電させる。後述する破砕・解砕工程で電池を破砕・解砕することによって解体するに際して、電池が充電された状態では危険であることから、放電させて無害化する。
破砕・解砕工程では、放電して無害化させた使用済みのリチウムイオン電池を破砕・解砕することによって解体する。
洗浄工程では、破砕・解砕工程を経て得られた電池解体物を、水又はアルコールで洗浄することにより、電解液及び電解質を除去する。リチウムイオン電池には、エチレンカーボネート、プロピレンカーボネート、ジエチルカーボネート、ジメチルカーボネート等の有機溶剤や、ヘキサフルオロリン酸リチウム(LiPF6)のような電解質が含まれている。そのため、これらを予め除去することで、後述する正極活物質剥離工程での浸出液中に有機成分やリン(P)やフッ素(F)等が不純物として混入することを防ぐ。
正極活物質剥離工程では、洗浄工程を経て得られた電池解体物を、硫酸水溶液等の酸性溶液やアルカリ溶液、又は界面活性剤を含有した水溶液に浸漬させることにより、その正極基板から正極活物質を剥離して分離する。この工程にて電池解体物を硫酸水溶液等の酸性溶液や界面活性剤溶液に投入して撹拌することにより、正極活物質とアルミニウム箔を固体のままで分離することができる。なお、この工程では、電池解体物全てを硫酸水溶液や界面活性剤溶液に浸漬してもよいが、電池解体物から正極材部分だけを選び出して浸漬してもよい。
浸出工程では、正極活物質剥離工程にて剥離回収された正極活物質を、固定炭素含有物や還元効果の高い金属等の存在下で、酸性溶液で浸出してスラリーとする。この浸出工程によって、正極活物質を酸性溶液に溶解して、正極活物質を構成する有価金属であるニッケルやコバルト等を金属イオンとする。
硫化工程では、浸出工程を経て得られた溶液を反応容器に導入し、硫化剤を添加することによって硫化反応を生じさせ、ニッケル・コバルト混合硫化物を生成する。これによって、リチウムイオン電池から有価金属であるニッケル、コバルトを回収する。硫化剤としては、硫化ナトリウムや水硫化ナトリウム、又は硫化水素ガスなどの硫化アルカリ等を用いることができる。
Ni2+ +H2S ⇒ NiS + 2H+ ・・・(1)
Ni2+ + NaHS ⇒ NiS + H+ + Na+ ・・・(2)
Ni2+ + Na2S ⇒ NiS + 2Na+ ・・・(3)
そこで、本実施の形態においては、リチウムイオン電池から分離した放電液や洗浄液等の処理液や硫化工程後の濾液の、ヘキサフルオロリン酸リチウムを含有するリチウム含有溶液において、溶液のpHを上昇させることによってリンやフッ素の不純物の沈殿を形成させる。そして、形成した沈殿を分離除去した後に、その濾液からリチウムを回収する処理を行う。これにより、処理後の放電液や洗浄液に含まれたヘキサフルオロリン酸リチウムに基づくリンやフッ素の不純物を効率的に除去することができ、リンやフッ素によって汚染されることなくリチウムを回収することができる。
沈殿形成工程では、上述したリチウムイオン電池から有価金属を回収する工程において排出された放電液や洗浄液等の処理液やニッケル・コバルト混合硫化物を生成させた硫化工程後の濾液の、ヘキサフルオロリン酸リチウムを含有するリチウム含有溶液から、リン酸塩及びフッ化物塩の沈殿を形成させる。本実施の形態においては、特に、その放電液や洗浄液等の溶液に水酸化アルカリを添加してpHを9以上に調整することによって、リン酸塩及びフッ化物塩の沈殿を形成させる。
リチウム回収工程では、上述した沈殿形成工程にて形成されたリン酸リチウムやフッ化リチウムの沈殿を分離除去し、その後、その濾液からリチウムを回収する。濾液からリチウムを回収する方法としては、特に限定されるものではないが、以下のような溶媒抽出方法や炭酸塩化方法を挙げることができる。
濾液からリチウムを回収する方法としては、例えば溶媒抽出方法を用いることができる。溶媒抽出方法としては、酸性抽出剤を用いてリチウムを有機相に抽出分離する溶媒抽出処理を挙げることができる。
一方、溶液中のリチウムイオン濃度が高い場合、例えば1g/lを超えるようなリチウムが含有されている場合には、沈殿形成工程にて形成された沈殿を分離除去した後の濾液に対して、炭酸塩化の処理を行うことによってリチウムを回収することもできる。
本発明は、上述した実施の形態に限られるものではなく、本発明の要旨を変更しない範囲において適宜変更することができる。
以下、実施例を用いて本発明を説明するが、本発明はこれらの実施例に限定されるものではない。
まず、処理中に発火等の危険を避けるため、使用済みのリチウムイオン電池を、放電液である塩化ナトリウム水溶液100g/Lに浸漬して放電状態とした。なお、放電の終点は、水素ガスセンサーを用いて水素が発生していないことで判断した。この放電処理の後、スラリーを濾過し排出された放電液を回収した。そして、放電済のリチウムイオン電池を、二軸破砕機により1cm角以下の大きさに解体し電池解体物を得た。
(実施例1)
上述した使用済みリチウムイオン電池から有価金属を回収する操作においては、放電処理及び洗浄処理のそれぞれの処理後に回収したスラリー、及び硫化工程後のスラリーを濾過することによって、処理後の放電液及び洗浄液からなる処理液及び硫化工程後の濾液からなる溶液が得られた。表1に、得られた溶液の組成を示す。
実施例2では、実施例1の水酸化アルカリ添加によるヘキサフルオロリン酸イオンの加水分解処理及び沈殿形成処理に際して、添加する水酸化アルカリとして水酸化ナトリウム溶液の代わりに8mol/l水酸化カリウム(KOH)溶液を使用したこと以外は、同様の方法により操作を行った。表5に、水酸化カリウム溶液による加水分解処理及び沈殿形成処理後の濾液の分析値を示す。
実施例3では、実施例1と同じ方法で上記表2の組成からなる溶液を得た後、次いで、炭酸ナトリウム溶液又は炭酸カリウム溶液を飽和するまで添加して、炭酸塩化処理によって炭酸リチウムの結晶としてリチウムを回収した。つまり、実施例1とは異なり、沈殿処理後の濾液を溶媒抽出処理するのではなく、炭酸塩化処理を行ってリチウムを回収した。表6に、炭酸塩化処理後の母液の分析値を示し、表7に、炭酸リチウム結晶の品位を示す。
一方で、比較例1では、上述した実施例のような、水酸化アルカリ添加による加水分解処理及び沈殿形成処理を行わずに、放電液及び洗浄液から回収した表1に示す溶液に対して直接溶媒抽出操作を行った。
また、比較例2では、上述した実施例のような、水酸化アルカリ添加による加水分解処理及び沈殿形成処理を行わずに、放電液及び洗浄液から回収した表1に示す溶液に対して炭酸塩化処理を行った。
