Problems solved by technology

However, these current recovery technologies are mainly aimed at recovering valuable metals such as cobalt and lithium in lithium-ion batteries. After the positive electrode waste is leached, precipitation, solvent extraction, and crystallization are usually used to separate and recover metals in the leachate, but they have not been realized. Closed-loop recycling of metal components in cathode waste
[0005] In conclusion, so far there is no low-cost short-range recycling technology for lithium-ion battery cathode waste based on metal closed-loop recycling, and the recycling technology for cathode waste and mixed cathode waste of other chemical compositions is particularly scarce.

Abstract

The invention provides a leaching and recycling method for metals in anode waste materials of lithium-ion batteries. The leaching method comprises the steps that: the anode waste materials of the lithium-ion batteries react with organic acid solution containing a reducing agent; after reaction, solid-liquid separation is carried out and leaching solution and filter residues are obtained, so that the leaching of the metals in the anode waste materials of the lithium-ion batteries is realized. Based on the leaching method, the invention provides a recycling method for the anode waste materials of the lithium-ion batteries based on closed-loop circulation of metals. The leaching method for the metals in the anode waste materials of the lithium-ion batteries has the advantages of high metal leaching rate, short leaching time, low processing cost and wide application range; secondary pollution and complex process for separating and purifying various metals in the leaching solution are avoided; according to the recycling method for the metals in the anode waste materials of the lithium-ion batteries, the technological process is short and the closed-loop circulation of the metals is realized.
