The invention belongs to the technical field of battery
recovery, and discloses a
recovery method and application of
lithium iron phosphate waste. The method comprises the following steps: mixing the
lithium iron phosphate waste with water to prepare
slurry, adding alkali to adjust the pH value to be alkaline, heating to react, filtering and separating to obtain filter residues; dissolving the filter residue in acid, filtering and separating, taking filtrate, adding a solution containing
oxalate, reacting, aging, filtering and separating to obtain a
filter cake and a
precipitation mother solution; and pulping, washing and removing
free water from the
filter cake to obtain
ferrous oxalate. The method comprises the following steps: adding the alkali to adjust the pH value, dissolving the filter residue with acid, carrying out
solid-liquid separation, removing the filter residue, adding an
oxalate-containing substance into the filtrate, heating and precipitating to obtain the
ferrous oxalate precipitate. Compared with the process for synthesizing
iron phosphate by using the
lithium iron
phosphate waste, the process for synthesizing
ferrous oxalate by using the
lithium iron phosphate waste is easier to control, and the iron
recovery rate is higher and can reach 99%.
