Problems solved by technology

However, the degradation of the passive film by Fenton's reagent is limited to the part exposed on the particle surface
The passivation film can be dissolved by organic solvents, but the viscosity of organic solvents is relatively high, which increases the difficulty of subsequent solid-liquid separation
Secondary pollutants will be produced during heat treatment

Abstract

The invention discloses a method of improving flotation separation effect of waste lithium batteries by gamma-ray irradiation. The method can solve the problems that during a mechanical and physical recovery process of waste lithium batteries, natural floatability is passivated since the surfaces of electrode materials are coated with organic passivating film and lithium cobalt oxide and graphiteare difficult to separate through flotation. The method mainly includes steps of: under normal temperature and pressure, placing a waste lithium battery electrode material in Co[60] gamma radioactivesource atmosphere, and irradiating the electrode material under the irradiation dose rate of 0.5-50 kGy / h for 1.5-15 h. After irradiation, the difference value between contact values of the lithium cobalt oxide and graphite in the electrode material is increased by 30-40 degrees, so that through the flotation, recovery rate of cobalt can reach 85-95%. The method has simple operation, is high in processing efficiency, is free of secondary pollution and is suitable for large-scale application.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of solid waste recycling, in particular to a method for improving the flotation and separation effect of waste lithium batteries by gamma ray irradiation. Background technique [0002] The rapid development of new energy vehicles has brought unprecedented development opportunities to the lithium battery industry. In 2015, the output of lithium batteries in my country was 5.60 billion. In 2017 and 2021, the output of lithium batteries will reach 7.35 billion and 9.70 billion respectively. At the same time, due to the limited life cycle of products and the accelerated replacement, the number of scrapped lithium batteries is also increasing day by day. In 2015, the cumulative amount of power lithium batteries scrapped in my country was 20,000 to 40,000 tons, and in 2020, the cumulative amount of scrapped power lithium batteries for pure electric and hybrid passenger vehicles will reach 120,000 to 170,000 tons....
