Problems solved by technology

However, the above wet leaching method for recovering lithium elements does not achieve selective separation of iron and lithium elements during the leaching process.
On the contrary, the above processes all leach iron and lithium elements at the same time during the leaching process, and then further separate the iron and lithium elements, so the acid consumption is large, a large amount of high-salt wastewater is produced, and the obtained lithium liquid contains a large amount of impurities, which often requires more complex processes. The impurity removal process greatly increases the recycling cost and reduces the grade of recycled products
In addition, high-salt wastewater will cause secondary pollution, requiring high wastewater treatment costs

Abstract

The invention provides a selective recovery method of lithium in waste and old lithium iron phosphate batteries. The method comprises roasting and sorting waste batteries to obtain battery material powder containing aluminum, iron and lithium, removing aluminum to obtain mixed residues containing iron and lithium, carrying out ball milling on the mixed residues containing iron and lithium to obtain powder, carrying out oxidation treatment on the powder under oxidizing conditions / medium so that ferrous iron is converted into ferric iron, wherein pH is adjusted in oxidation treatment and lithium in a ferric hydroxide stable region is selectively leached, and carrying out further treatment to obtain high purity lithium carbonate. The method simplifies a waste battery recycling process and the obtained leachate has low impurity content so that an additional leaching solution purification process is avoided, sodium carbonate solution consumption is reduced and the production of high salt waste water is avoided or greatly reduced. Compared with the prior art, the method has simple processes, realizes a low cost, prevents high salt waste water from the source, can acquire a high purity lithium carbonate product and has an excellent market application prospect.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of recycling of secondary resources and circular economy, and in particular relates to a selective recovery method for lithium in waste lithium iron phosphate batteries. Background technique [0002] Since lithium-ion batteries were successfully developed and commercialized, they have been widely used in many fields such as electronic products, automobiles, and aerospace. Especially in the two major application areas of mobile phones and electric vehicles, the demand for lithium-ion batteries has soared. Lithium iron phosphate batteries have the advantages of abundant raw material sources, low price, high specific capacity, and stable structure, and are considered to be a new generation of lithium-ion batteries. With the widespread use of lithium iron phosphate batteries, a large number of waste batteries will be produced. These waste batteries store a large amount of precious metal elements and have a ver...
