Abstract

The invention discloses a method for efficiently recovering active materials of positive poles in waste lithium batteries, which is mainly characterized by adding crushed electrical core fragments into hot water, stirring the mixture, and performing first vibration screening after the filtration and drying to separate most of an active material; dissolving aluminum foil through alkaline leaching after an oversize part is magnetically separated, adjusting the pH value of an alkaline leaching filtrate by dilute acid and ammonium bicarbonate solution, and recovering aluminum; performing second vibration screening after the filtration and drying to separate a residual powder material; and placing the oversize part into water for water cyclone separation, dumping to remove an upper-layer plastic diaphragm, then using dilute sulfuric acid and sodium thiosulfate solution to wash a copper sheet to ensure that carbon powder and active powder which are adhered to the copper sheet are loosened and fall off, making the powder float on an upper layer through cyclone separation after the washing, mixing the powder and the active powders obtained by two screenings, using NaOH solution to soak the mixture after the magnetic separation, calcining the alkali-leached active powder material after the filtration and drying, and taking the active powder material as active powder for subsequent treatment. The use of the method can ensure that the recovery rates of copper and aluminum in waste lithium ion batteries reach 98.5 percent and 97 percent respectively, and the recovery rate of the active materials is about 99 percent.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the comprehensive recovery of valuable components in waste lithium batteries, and in particular to an efficient separation and recovery method for positive electrode active materials, battery shells, diaphragms, electrolytes, copper foils and aluminum foils in waste lithium batteries. Background technique [0002] Since the commercialization of lithium-ion batteries in 1990, they have been widely used in portable electronic devices such as mobile phones, notebook computers and cameras due to their advantages such as high energy density, light weight, long life and no memory. It is hoped that in the future, batteries such as lead-acid, nickel-cadmium, and nickel-metal hydride will also be replaced as the power source of electric vehicles. At that time, the usage of lithium-ion batteries will increase exponentially. According to statistics, in 2000, the global production of lithium-ion batteries exceeded 580 million, and ...
