The invention discloses a method for circularly leaching
lithium iron phosphate mixed
powder from
ferric salt and recovering all components, and belongs to the field of battery
recovery. The method comprises the following steps: leaching mixed
powder by adopting an iron
salt solution to obtain a
lithium-containing leaching solution and leaching residues;
ferrous ions in the
leachate are regenerated into
ferric iron through acidification and oxidation, the
ferric iron is cyclically used for leaching the next batch of mixed
powder, after the preset cycle number is reached, the
leachate is used for re-leaching treatment of multiple batches of leaching residues, and the
lithium leaching rate is increased. And finally obtaining enriched liquid containing Li, Fe, Cu and Al and
iron phosphate slag containing
graphite. And replacing the enriched liquid with
iron powder to recover
copper, extracting and separating to obtain a high-purity
lithium chloride solution, and simultaneously recovering ferric
chloride (recycling) and aluminum
chloride crystals. And treating the leaching residues with
hydrochloric acid to obtain regenerated
graphite, and adjusting the pH value with alkali to obtain high-purity
iron phosphate. According to the method, all-component
recovery is achieved under the mild condition, separation steps are reduced through a leaching-regeneration-leaching circulation mechanism, chemical consumption is reduced, and the method has both environmental and
economic benefits.
