- Patent Document 1 is a technique of recovering a valuable metal as an alloy from a raw material of an oxide containing Li, Mn, Co, Ni, and Fe generated in the manufacturing process of a secondary battery.
- the raw material does not contain Al in the first place, and cannot be applied when the alloy is recovered from an oxide containing Al. That is, when Al (Al 2 O 3 ) is contained in the raw material, the raw material has a high melting point, so that it cannot be melted and it may be difficult to recover the valuable metal as an alloy. ..
- Patent Document 3 does not describe the reducing agent ratio required to obtain granular metallic iron.
- Patent Document 4 As in the case of Patent Document 2, an appropriate reducing agent ratio is not written, and the amount of SiO 2 and CaO added is large, and SiO 2 / Al 2 O 3 and CaO / The value of Al 2 O 3 is high. Therefore, the productivity is low and the cost may be reduced, and the alloy recovery when a large amount of Al 2 O 3 is contained is not included.
- Patent Document 5 does not contain Al 2 O 3 in the raw material, and cannot be applied when the alloy is recovered from the oxide containing Al.
- Patent Document 6 is a method of reducing the residue obtained by removing Cu and C from under the sieve after incineration, crushing and sieving with C (coke) or Al, but 100% coke is used as a reducing agent.
- Patent Documents 1 to 6 are for recovering valuable metals by reducing the recovered material of the secondary battery while melting it, and adding flux to melt the recovered product. It has become.
- the recovered product is slag containing Al 2 O 3
- even when flux is added for melting if the amount of flux added is too large, Co and Ni to be recovered in the mixture The amount is reduced and the productivity is directly deteriorated. Therefore, although it is possible to recover the alloys of Co and Ni, there is a concern that the productivity will be deteriorated, the cost will be reduced, and the advantage of relatively low cost, which is a characteristic of pyrometallurgy, will be erased.
- the present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a method for recovering valuable metals such as Co and Ni from a recovered product containing Al 2 O 3 at low cost and efficiently. And.
- the method for recovering valuable metals of the present invention takes the following technical measures. That is, in the method for recovering valuable metals of the present invention, a recovered product containing valuable metals is obtained by subjecting a used secondary battery to treatments of heating, crushing, sieving, and magnetic separation, and the obtained recovered product is obtained. By mixing the product with a reducing agent and heating it, the valuable metal in the mixture is metallized by reduction and melted to separate the metal and oxide from the mixture, and after cooling, the metal is sorted from the oxide. In the method for recovering the valuable metal to be recovered, the heating temperature of the mixture is set to 1400 ° C.

Dans un procédé de récupération de métaux de valeur selon la présente invention, des batteries secondaires usagées sont soumises à un chauffage, une pulvérisation, un tamisage et une séparation magnétique pour obtenir un produit de récupération contenant des métaux de valeur, et un mélange du produit de récupération obtenu et d'un agent réducteur est chauffé pour réduire les métaux de valeur dans le mélange dans un état de métal fondu, ce qui permet de séparer le mélange en métaux et en oxydes. Lors de la séparation et de la récupération des métaux à partir des oxydes après refroidissement, la température de chauffage du mélange est fixée à 1400 °C ou plus. Lorsque l'agent réducteur est mélangé avec le produit de récupération, l'agent réducteur est mélangé avec le produit de récupération de telle sorte que 0<O/R≤0,97 est satisfait (où, O [mol/kg] est la quantité d'oxygène liée chimiquement à des métaux de valeur dans le mélange, et R [mol/kg] est la quantité de l'agent réducteur contenu dans le mélange), et de telle sorte que x et y, qui sont les rapports des concentrations [% en poids] de Al2O3, SiO2 et CaO contenus dans le mélange, satisfont la relation souhaitée.
