将浸出渣在惰性气氛下与酸溶液进行反应,随后加入还原剂及添加剂混合反应,过滤,所得混合液加入第二氧化剂进行反应,过滤,得磷酸铁和三次滤液;所述还原剂为单质铁,所述添加剂为二水磷酸铁、八水磷酸亚铁、一水磷 酸氢钛、氢氧化铝、二氧化钛、三氧化二钛中的至少一种;所述浸出渣、还原剂及添加剂的质量之比为100:(20~65):(50~200);

本文所述废旧磷酸铁锂的回收利用方法中,首先通过氧化剂和酸液对废旧磷酸铁锂进行选择性提锂得到含锂离子的浸出液和含有铁、磷元素及极片其他物质诸如石墨等的浸出渣,此时先对浸出液进行溶液pH调节,使得一些杂质离子,例如铁及铝离子以氢氧化物或氧化物的形式沉淀出来,随后所得一次滤液采用膜浓缩工艺进行浓缩,该工艺相比于现有的MVR系统部件能够防止滤液中的锂盐结晶,同时还能进一步提升所得浓缩液的纯度,降低耗能;经过浓缩后加入沉淀剂即可获得高纯度的锂盐。同时,含有铁及磷元素的浸出渣加入铁粉作为还原剂,同时引入特定种类的添加剂,两种物质可以发生协同反应,诱导滤渣中诸如钛等杂质发生沉淀并减少铁元素的损失,高效实现除杂,除杂后的产物经过氧化即可获得纯度较高的磷酸铁。最后,为了实现废旧磷酸铁锂的高锂离子回收率,本文所述技术方案还将上述过程中产生的二次滤液和三次滤液经过回收并转化为浓缩物,该浓缩物成液体状态,其主要含有在先工艺中依然没有回收的锂离子,同时这种浓缩物呈现酸性,因此可以用于一次滤渣的浸出,使得滤渣中的锂离子和浓缩物中的锂离子均富集在浸出所得滤液中,再进一步按照一次滤液的处理步骤进行膜浓缩等工艺处理即可实现整体回收物的锂离子回收。
在一实施例中,所述第一氧化剂为氧气、双氧水、过硫酸钠中的至少一种。

进一步地,所述一次滤液进入膜浓缩系统的速率为380~420L/h,pH为2~4,压力为1~1.5MPa。

在一实施例中,所述第二氧化剂为双氧水,所述双氧水的添加速率为0.7~1.1mL/min。

在一实施例中,所述第二氧化剂为氧气,所述通入的氧气的压力为1.2~1.5MPa。
与双氧水类似,在上述通入压力下,制备的磷酸铁的晶型和形貌较佳。
在一实施例中,所述混合液与第二氧化剂反应时的温度≥80℃。
当磷酸铁的生成反应时的温度控制在80℃及以上时,可以有效控制其晶粒成核速率在较低范围,从而制备的磷酸铁粒径维持在较合适的尺寸。
在一实施例中,所述浓缩物浸出一次滤渣时的单位用量为3~7mL/g。
进一步地,所述浓缩物中铁元素的浓度<0.001g/L,磷元素的浓度<0.001g/L,铜元素的浓度<0.0001g/L,铝元素的浓度<0.0001g/L,锂元素的浓度为4~5g/L。

效果例1
为了验证本文所述废旧磷酸铁锂的回收利用方法的高效性,检测统计各实施例和对比例所述方法中制备的磷酸铁的杂质含量、磷酸铁产品的铁、磷元素含量及两者的摩尔含量比,以及磷酸铁产品的比表面积,最后统计所述方法的锂回收率,所述锂回收率的计算方法为100-m(混合渣中的锂)/m(磷酸铁锂极片粉中的锂);若无中水回用系统,只用纯水洗涤含锂混渣,锂的回收率计算方法为 100-m(混合渣中的锂、磷铁渣中的锂、沉锂母液中的锂)/m(磷酸铁锂极片粉中的锂),最后对制备的锂盐进行纯度检测。
测试结果如表1、表2和表3所示。
表1
表2
表3


从表1和2可以明显看出,本文所述废旧磷酸铁锂的回收方法经过实施后,锂回收率可以达到96%以上,而制备的磷酸铁产品纯度高,主要的杂质浓度最高不超过5ppm,同时比表面积适中,磷铁比与标准品对应。相比之下,对比例1所述方法中并没有对二次滤液和三次滤液进行回收并对一次滤渣进行浸出,因此无法充分回收废旧磷酸铁锂中的锂离子,锂回收率低;对比例2所述方法中浸出渣的转化过程并没有在氮气气氛下进行,在空气氛围下溶解时会造成部分铁和磷流失,制备产品的铁和磷元素含量较低,且制备的产品比表面积较低;对比例3产品在浸出渣转换时并没有引入添加剂进行协同作用,因此无法实现良好的除杂沉淀效果,钛杂质浓度较高,导致最终制备的产品的钛含量也相对较高,同时磷酸铁产品的产率低;然而对比例4产品中引入的添加剂氢氧化铝含量过高,使得最终产品的铝元素偏高,说明在所述方法中添加剂的添加量不能过多,而类似地,对比例5产品中八水磷酸亚铁的添加量过多,磷酸铁和品质和比表面积均不理想;对比例6中添加剂的添加量过少,与对比例3类似,钛杂质无法有效去除。对比例7采用了相对常规的MVR蒸发系统对一次滤液进行蒸发浓缩,该方法相比于膜浓缩工艺容易造成锂离子的损失;对比例8和对比例9在进行浸出液pH调节时过高或过低,导致制备的锂盐产品杂质浓度过高或者锂回收率过低。而在对比例10和对比例11中,由于对一次滤渣进行浸出时的浓缩物pH过高或过低,导致所述过程的锂离子回收率较低或者所得锂盐的杂质含量较高。对比例12中浓缩物本身的杂质含量过高,因此导致最终的锂盐杂质含量也较高。
最后所应当说明的是,以上实施例仅用以说明本文的技术方案而非对本文保护范围的限制,尽管参照较佳实施例对本申请作了详细说明,本领域的普通技术人员应当理解,可以对本文的技术方案进行修改或者等同替换,但并不脱离本文技术方案的实质和范围。
