The invention discloses a waste battery
lithium iron phosphate positive
electrode black
powder recovery method which comprises the following steps: S1, activating and
roasting positive
electrode black
powder to obtain pretreated black
powder, and mixing and ball-milling the pretreated black powder, an
oxidizing agent and an activating
solvent to obtain pre-oxidized black powder; s3, the pre-oxidized black powder and an
inorganic solvent are mixed for a leaching reaction, and
mother liquor A and
iron phosphate slag are obtained; s4, adding a pH
regulator into the
mother liquor A to remove impurities so as to obtain
mother liquor B; s5, mixing and purifying the
iron phosphate slag and
phosphoric acid to obtain crude iron
phosphate, washing the crude iron
phosphate with water, and adding a complexing agent for further purification to obtain high-purity iron
phosphate; and S6, concentrating the mother liquor B to obtain concentrated mother liquor C, and introducing
carbon dioxide into the concentrated mother liquor C to precipitate
lithium to obtain the battery-grade
lithium carbonate. According to the process, iron, lithium,
phosphorus and other elements in the positive
electrode black powder are efficiently separated and recycled, low-acid or acid-free green leaching of lithium is achieved, the lithium
leaching rate is larger than or equal to 98.0%, and the purity of obtained iron phosphate is larger than or equal to 99.3%; the purity of
lithium carbonate is greater than or equal to 99.0%.
