Description

Selection-smelting combined comprehensive recovery method and device for waste lithium ion batteries
Technical Field
The invention relates to waste lithium ion battery resource recovery, in particular to a selection and metallurgy combined comprehensive recovery method and device for waste lithium ion batteries.
Background
With the coming of the abandonment tide of lithium ion batteries, a large number of recovery processes are developed and applied at a time. At present, the recovery process of the waste lithium ion battery has the following main problems: firstly, most processes pay attention to the recovery of nickel and cobalt with high content and high market price in waste lithium ion batteries, and the recovery attention of lithium with low content is low, so that the recovery rate of nickel, cobalt and manganese in most recovery processes is high, and the recovery rate of lithium is low. Secondly, the definition of the solid waste generated in the battery recycling field is not complete at present, and the treatment process of a large amount of fluorine-containing and phosphorus-containing diaphragm plastic parts is not complete, but with the maturity of the recycling industry, a large amount of solid waste is required to be treated harmlessly.
CN 109935922a discloses a method for recovering valuable metals from waste lithium ion battery positive electrode materials, which uses a mixture of low-valent sulfates such as sulfur and sulfide as a reducing agent to reduce high-valent compounds in the positive electrode materials, then uses water or weak acid to leach reduction roasting slag, recovers lithium from the leaching solution, and recovers nickel and cobalt from the leaching slag after acid leaching. The core of the method is that the low-valence sulfide is used as a reducing agent for reduction roasting, lithium is preferentially extracted after reduction, so that the recovery rate of lithium can be improved, but the reduction degree is difficult to control no matter sulfur or the reduction roasting of the sulfide, and the over-vulcanization condition is easy to occur, so that nickel cobalt is roasted into low-valence sulfate, and the difficulty in separation of lithium and nickel cobalt is increased.
CN 108264068A discloses a method for treating the positive electrode material of waste lithium ion power battery by electrochemical method, which uses sulfate and/or bisulfate as the solution electrolyte to carry out reaction, the essence of the reaction is to leach lithium in the positive electrode material by using the acidic solution decomposed by the electrolyzed water.
CN 108767354A discloses a method for processing waste lithium ion battery anode materials by using an ammonium salt roasting process, wherein the ammonium salt is roasted and then soaked in water, valuable metals Ni, Co, Mn and Li are completely transferred into a solution, and then the valuable metals are recovered from the solution.
CN 106505270a also discloses a process for treating a waste ternary lithium ion battery anode material by an ammonium salt roasting method, wherein aluminum foil is removed from roasting residues after ammonium salt roasting, acid leaching is adopted to solubilize cobalt and lithium, then a precipitation method is adopted to precipitate cobalt in a cobalt hydroxide form, and finally lithium is recovered. The method avoids the extraction process, can effectively reduce the loss of lithium, but has limited applicability to waste lithium ion batteries with complex composition and scattered and difficultly-separated models.
Therefore, the problem of low recovery rate exists in the prior art when the lithium element in the waste lithium ion battery is recovered. In addition, a method for comprehensively recovering metals such as lithium, nickel, cobalt, manganese, copper, aluminum and the like and graphite in waste lithium ion batteries is lacked at present, and the method is not effective for treating phosphorus-containing fluorine-containing diaphragms and plastic parts in the batteries.
