The invention provides a separation and
recovery method and application of a waste high-
nickel ternary battery, and relates to the technical field of
lithium ion batteries. Specifically, waste high-
nickel ternary battery
powder is subjected to a reduction acid leaching reaction in sequence, and a carbonaceous
solid phase and a first
liquid phase are obtained; the first
liquid phase is extracted through a
copper extraction agent, and a
copper-rich organic phase and a
raffinate water phase are obtained; sequentially carrying out alkali
precipitation reaction on the
raffinate water phase to obtain a
hydroxide solid phase and a second
liquid phase; wherein the second liquid phase is subjected to an aluminum removal reaction, then
carbonate is added,
solid-liquid separation is performed to obtain
lithium carbonate, the
hydroxide solid phase is sequentially subjected to reduction
ammonia leaching to obtain a third liquid phase, and extraction separation and reverse extraction are further performed to obtain a
nickel sulfate solution. According to the method,
lithium carbonate is prepared by adopting front-end lithium extraction, nickel
sulfate is prepared by carrying out
ammonia leaching extraction on the nickel-
cobalt-
manganese hydroxide after lithium extraction, the lithium-nickel product with high
recovery rate and high purity can be obtained while the method with high efficiency and short process is obtained, and the method has a good application prospect.
