Abstract

The invention discloses a method for selectively leaching metal components in a lithium cobalt oxide battery by using a polyethylene glycol-citric acid mixed solvent. The method comprises the following steps of 1) mixing and stirring polyethylene glycol and citric acid under a heating condition to form a uniform mixed solvent; 2) obtaining the waste lithium cobalt oxide battery; (3) adding the waste battery into the mixed solvent prepared in step (1), and performing full stirring and heating for leaching; and 4) adding water for dilution, filtering out insoluble impurities in a solution obtained after step 3) to obtain a leaching solution, and recovering the metal components in the waste battery. The method adopts the polyethylene glycol-citric acid solvent to leach the metal components in the lithium cobalt oxide battery, cobalt and lithium are selectively leached, aluminum foil and copper foil of a current collector do not need to be peeled off in a pretreatment stage, the leaching rate is high, the selectivity is good, the economical efficiency is good, and the method is environment-friendly and has relatively high industrial popularization value.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of recovery and reuse of waste lithium batteries, and is designed to recycle metal materials of waste lithium ion batteries, in particular to a mixed solvent formed by mixing polyethylene glycol and citric acid to selectively leach waste lithium cobaltate battery metals method of ingredients. Background technique [0002] Lithium-ion batteries have the advantages of high working voltage, large specific energy, small size, light weight, long cycle life, and no memory effect. Lithium-ion batteries are more and more widely used. Lithium cobalt oxide is often used as the positive electrode material of lithium-ion batteries. It has excellent electrochemical performance and is often used as a power source for small portable electronic devices. But its life is limited, but from the perspective of environmental protection and economy, the problem of efficient recycling of waste lithium cobalt oxide batteries needs ...
