The invention relates to a method for recovering
metal materials in waste ternary power batteries, and belongs to the technical field of battery
material recovery and cyclic utilization. The method comprises the steps that positive and negative
electrode mixed
powder,
phosphoric acid solution and the like react with each other, filtering is conducted to obtain a first solution; a
potassium permanganate solution is added into the first solution for recovering
manganese dioxide, a second solution is obtained, a
butanone oxime solution is added into the second solution,
butanone oxime nickel precipitation and a third solution are obtained,
butanone oxime nickel is dissolved in
hydrochloric acid, separating is conducted to obtain a fourth solution, and the fourth solution is subjected to electrodeposition to recover
metal nickel; then mixed extractant is used for extracting
cobalt ions in the third solution, separating is conducted to obtain an organic phase and a fifth solution,
cobalt inthe organic phase is extracted by using
sulfuric acid, a sixth solution is obtained, and the sixth solution is subjected to electrodeposition to recover
metal cobalt; and a
sodium carbonate solutionis added to the fifth solution, and
lithium carbonate is recovered. The method for recovering the metal materials in the waste ternary power batteries adopts a mild and stable
phosphoric acid-
sodium bisulfite system; the multiple
purification methods of
precipitation, extraction and electrodeposition are used without interference to each other, and the separation effect is good; and the recoveredproducts have many types, and application is wide.
