Embodiment 1

[0027] Weigh the waste LiCoO according to the mass ratio of 1:4.5:4.5 2 Powder, sodium bisulfate, potassium bisulfate mixture 2g, mixed thoroughly, placed in a crucible, roasted at 700°C for 2 hours, leached the contents of the crucible with water at 50°C, the leaching time was 10 minutes. At 50°C, add 0.2mol / l sodium oxalate solution to the leaching solution obtained in the previous step, wash the precipitate, and dry it at 120°C for 2 hours to obtain cobalt oxalate CoC 2 o 4 . At 95°C, 0.5mol / l sodium carbonate solution was added to the leaching solution after cobalt precipitation, and the resulting precipitate was washed and dried at 120°C for 2 hours to obtain lithium carbonate Li 2 CO 3 . The recovery rate of cobalt in the whole process is 99.99%, and the recovery rate of Li is 98.5%.

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for recovering cobalt and lithium from waste lithium ion batteries, which aims to prevent metals in waste lithium ion batteries from generating secondary waste gas pollution to the environment and lower the requirement on anticorrosion of equipment in the leaching process. The method comprises the following steps of: firstly, discharging and disassembling waste lithium ion batteries; carrying out alkali leaching and filtering treatment on waste positive plates to obtain LiCoO2 powder; fully mixing the LiCoO2 powder and the salts of alkali metals (sodium and potassium) in the mass ratio of 1:3-9, and then, roasting the mixture for 0.2-3 hours at the temperature of 500 DEG C-750 DEG C; leaching the roasted products with water for 5-30 minutes at the temperature of 40 DEG C-70 DEG C; depositing cobalt and lithium in the leaching solution to obtain cobalt oxalate and lithium carbonate; and adjusting components of the leaching waste solution with sulfuric acid, and carrying out crystallization treatment to obtain sodium bisulfate and potassium bisulfate, wherein the sodium bisulfate and the potassium bisulfate can be recycled in the roasting process.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a recycling process of scrap metal. Background technique [0002] Lithium-ion battery is a new type of high-energy battery successfully developed in the 20th century. It has a series of advantages such as small size, light weight, high energy density, high working voltage, long cycle life and no memory effect. It has been widely used in cameras, mobile phones, etc. , notebook computers, cameras, portable measuring instruments, etc. In addition, it is also the preferred portable high-energy power source for future electric vehicles. As the output of lithium-ion batteries continues to increase year by year, the number of discarded lithium-ion batteries that need to be scrapped due to the expiration of the cycle life and the electrode scraps and electrode fragments generated in the manufacture of lithium-ion batteries has also increased sharply. Its follow-up reasonable treatment is an important problem to be solved urgently. Th...
