Problems solved by technology

This method shortcoming has three: 1) contain nickel, cobalt, manganese more than 2% in most of iron and the small part copper of screening, cause the recovery rate of nickel cobalt manganese to be low; 2) the aluminum in this method battery and unselected Most copper will consume a large amount of auxiliary materials, resulting in high cost; 3) adding hydrogen peroxide or sodium sulfite as reducing agent in the leaching process increases the manufacturing cost

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for recovering valuable metals from spent lithium-ion batteries. The valuable metals comprise nickel, cobalt, manganese, copper and ferrum. According to the method, the valuable metals, such as the nickel, the cobalt, the manganese, the copper and the ferrum, are recovered through the following steps of baking, sieving, magnetic separation, leaching, purification, crystallization and the like by taking the spent lithium-ion batteries as raw materials. The method disclosed by the invention has the characteristics that the disposal cost is low; the recovery rate of the nickel, the cobalt, the manganese, the copper and the ferrum is high; and greater economic benefits and social benefits can be generated.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the fields of hydrometallurgy and recycling of waste resources, and in particular relates to the preliminary separation and purification technology of waste lithium ion batteries. Background technique [0002] The recycling methods of lithium-ion secondary batteries can be summed up in the following three ways. [0003] 1. Roasting method. The positive electrode material obtained by manually dismantling the waste lithium-ion battery is put into the roaster for reduction and roasting, and the metal cobalt and lithium oxide are reduced, and the lithium oxide is evaporated and recycled. The metal cobalt and aluminum are made into a carbon-containing alloy, and then the alloy is separated and extracted. Cobalt salt, nickel salt, etc., but this method consumes too much energy. [0004] 2. Flotation electrolysis. The positive electrode active material obtained by manually dismantling the waste lithium-ion battery is subjected to h...
