The invention discloses a method for recovering all components of a waste
lithium battery. The method comprises the following steps: finely disassembling the waste
lithium battery to obtain a positive plate, a negative plate, a shell and a diaphragm; respectively carrying out electrochemical
powder removal on the positive and negative plates by using
pulse current to obtain an
aluminum foil, positive
powder and an electrolytic mother solution I after the
powder removal of the positive plate, and obtaining a
copper foil, negative powder and an electrolytic mother solution II after the powder removal of the negative plate; lower-layer inorganic components of the electrolytic
mother liquor I and the electrolytic
mother liquor II are used as electrolytes and are respectively returned to the positive plate and the negative plate for electrochemical powder removal, and upper-layer organic components can be used as organic
fluorine raw materials; preferentially extracting
lithium from the positive
electrode powder to obtain a lithium salt, and extracting
nickel,
cobalt and
manganese to obtain a
nickel salt, a
cobalt salt and a
manganese salt; and purifying and repairing the negative
electrode powder to obtain lithium salt and
graphite carbon powder. According to the invention, high-efficiency fine separation and
recovery of each component of the waste
lithium battery can be realized, the
recovery rate and purity of positive
electrode powder, negative electrode powder,
copper foil,
aluminum foil and the like are relatively high, and diaphragms and
fluorine resources can be completely recovered.
