The invention discloses a method for synergistically extracting key metals from mixed wastes of waste
lithium batteries, relates to a method for extracting key metals from mixed wastes of batteries, and belongs to the technical field of treatment and recycling of industrial
solid wastes and electronic wastes. The invention aims to solve the problems of
high energy consumption and high-density
carbon footprint at high temperature caused by taking a
carbon source as a
reducing agent in a high-temperature
metallurgy method. The method comprises the following steps: carrying out reaction, tabletting, high-temperature thermodynamic reaction, deionized
water washing,
pyrolysis sample soaking and filtering on waste
lithium battery mixed positive
electrode material
powder in a
zirconium oxide ball milling tank of a planetary
ball mill, soaking filter residues in
ammonia process reduction
leachate, filtering, treating the filter residues in a landfill, extracting filtrate by using an extracting agent, and carrying out
backwashing to separate
nickel and
cobalt, and finishing. According to the method, the
reaction energy consumption of high-temperature
thermodynamics can be reduced, and carbon emission is remarkably reduced. The extraction process is short, and the
recovery efficiency of
lithium,
nickel and
cobalt can reach 92.5 wt.%, 96.7 wt.% and 95.9 wt.% or above by adopting the method.
