Abstract

The invention discloses a method for recycling lithium in a waste power lithium battery. The method comprises the following steps of pretreatment: specifically disassembling, crushing and sorting thewaste power lithium battery under the protection of inert gas in a closed state to obtain waste battery powder; high-temperature calcination: specifically adding additives to the waste battery powderfor high-temperature calcination; mechanical activation and water leaching: specifically adding activating agents to the waste battery powder subjected to high-temperature calcination, and carrying out mechanical activation, water leaching and solid-liquid separation to obtain lithium-containing leachate; and evaporative crystallization: specifically carrying out evaporative crystallization on theobtained lithium-containing leachate to obtain a lithium hydroxide product. By adopting the method, the yield of the metal lithium in the whole treatment process reaches 90% or above.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of recycling waste batteries, in particular to a method for recycling lithium in waste power lithium batteries. Background technique [0002] With the rapid development of new energy vehicles, the future will bring a large scale of decommissioned power batteries. It is estimated that by 2020, the amount of scrapped power lithium batteries will reach 25Gwh, about 200,000 tons. In 2023, the amount of scrap will reach 101Gwh, about 800,000 tons. It is predicted that by 2020, the overall battery recycling market will reach 11.1 billion yuan, of which cascade utilization is 6.9 billion yuan, and recycling is 4.2 billion yuan. By 2023, the entire market size will reach 15 billion yuan. After a large number of power batteries are decommissioned, without proper disposal and maximum value utilization, it will threaten public safety, cause irreversible environmental pollution, and waste precious valuable metal resou...
