Abstract

The invention relates to a recycling method of a vanadium flow battery electrolyte. According to the method, the electrolyte of the flow battery of which the capacity fades after charge and discharge use is taken as a raw material, a reducing agent or an oxidizing agent is added to the raw material after pretreatment, the concentration of vanadium ions in the electrolyte is adjusted and the electrolyte can be repeatedly recycled. A waste electrolyte is pretreated, a proper reducing agent or oxidizing agent is added to the waste electrolyte and the concentration of the vanadium ions in the electrolyte is adjusted, so that the problem of recycling of the waste electrolyte is finally solved and efficient utilization of the electrolyte is achieved. The recycling method is simple in process, simple and convenient to operate, simple and available in raw material, low in cost and significant in effect.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the fields of application and energy recovery of a liquid flow battery, in particular to a method for recycling and reusing an electrolyte of a liquid flow battery and its application. Background technique [0002] With the development of the economy, traditional energy can no longer meet the needs of human development, and renewable energy has attracted more and more attention from all countries. Due to the instability of renewable energy such as solar energy and wind energy, in order to develop and utilize it on a large scale, it is necessary to research and develop large-scale energy storage so that renewable energy can be used by human beings. In various energy storage systems, redox flow batteries are widely used in energy storage due to their fast charge and discharge response, simple battery structure, large and adjustable capacity, no solid-phase reaction, low price, long life, and environmental friendliness. In partic...
