Abstract

The invention relates to the technical field of lithium battery material recovery, and provides a method for recovering lithium in a ternary positive electrode material by microwave roasting, whereinthe method comprises the steps: mixing a waste ternary positive electrode material, diluted hydrochloric acid and an assistant, carrying out microwave roasting, carrying out ball milling and water leaching on the roasted product to obtain a lithium chloride solution, concentrating, crystallizing, carrying out solid-liquid separation, and drying to obtain lithium chloride. According to the method provided by the invention, conventional roasting is replaced with microwave roasting, materials are heated from inside to outside through microwaves, the roasting temperature is reduced, and the roasting time is shortened; ball-milling water leaching is adopted to replace crushing and water leaching or crushing and acid leaching in a traditional method, the water leaching process is accelerated through ball-milling water leaching, the leaching rate is increased, leachate hardly contains other high-valence metal ions, and lithium chloride can be directly prepared without purification and impurity removal.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of recycling lithium battery materials, in particular to a method for recovering lithium in a ternary positive electrode material by microwave roasting. Background technique [0002] Lithium battery ternary cathode materials include nickel-cobalt lithium manganese oxide or nickel-cobalt aluminate lithium, which is the most widely used cathode material in lithium batteries. Batteries with ternary materials as cathodes are safer than lithium cobalt oxide batteries. With the sharp increase in the production and sales of new energy vehicles, the peak of power battery retirement is approaching. According to estimates, the demand for power lithium batteries will reach 125Gwh by 2020, and the amount of scrap will be 32.2Gwh, about 500,000 tons; by 2023, scrap The volume will reach 101Gwh, about 1.16 million tons. If discarded lithium-ion batteries are discarded at will, the electrolyte salts and organic solvents i...
