Embodiment 1

[0035] Take 30kg of dry slurry to be recovered and put it into a pulverizer, put it into the pulverizer in batches, and after pulverizing for 10-60 minutes, pulverize into particles smaller than 5mm. Then use a 10-mesh to 200-mesh vibrating sieve to sieve the powder. The materials that do not pass through the 200-mesh sieve are further crushed and screened out, and finally a small part of the debris that cannot be filtered can be discarded. Weigh 28.5kg, add the powder from the feeding port, the gas is heated to 600°C by the heater, and enter the reactor from the bottom of the fluidized bed, and adjust the gas inlet flow rate to 8.5m 3 / h~40m 3 / h, the average residence time of the powder is 60min. After the gas passes through the cyclone separator to separate the entrained powder, it enters the fixed bed with CaO particles, and then the gas is heated and recycled. 4) After the bottom powder is cooled, use a 100-mesh to 300-mesh sieving machine to obtain qualified positive ...

Embodiment 2

[0037] Take 30kg of positive electrode pieces to be recovered and load them into a pulverizer, put them into a mixer in batches, and add an appropriate amount of zirconium glass beads for powder removal. Then sieve the processed pole piece powder with a 10-mesh to 200-mesh vibrating sieve. The materials that do not pass through the 200-mesh sieve are further crushed and screened out, and finally a small part of the debris that cannot be filtered can be discarded. Weigh 22.7kg, add the powder from the feeding port, add the powder from the feeding port, heat the gas to 600°C through the heater, and adjust the gas inlet flow rate to 8.5m 3 / h~40m 3 / h, the average residence time of the powder is 60min. After the gas passes through the cyclone separator to separate the powder, it enters the fixed bed with CaO particles, and then the gas is heated and recycled. 4) After the bottom powder is cooled, use a 100-mesh to 300-mesh sieving machine to obtain qualified positive electrode...

Embodiment 3

[0039] The difference from Example 1 is that the gas heating temperature is 750°C. Others are the same as in Embodiment 1, and will not be repeated here.

Abstract

The invention belongs to the field of battery materials, and specifically relates to a method for recovering positive active materials from battery material offcuts and slurry. The method comprises the following steps of: filling positive plate or dry positive slurry to be recovered into a pulverizer, screening into a powder, putting the powder into a fluidized bed and removing impurities of conductive carbon and a binder; letting a gas pass through a cyclone separator on the top of the fluidized bed to remove entrained powder, passing through a fixed bed to remove harmful gases, heating and blowing into the fluidized bed for cyclic utilization, cooling the powder at the bottom, and sieving to obtain a qualified positive powder. According to the invention, the process flow is short; the powder is in a fluidization state in the fluidized bed during the process of heat treatment; and the gas and the powder fully contact with each other and the reaction is complete. Therefore, the problems of high impurity content in the product and low recovery rate in a traditional technology are fundamentally resolved; in addition, cobalt and lithium elements are simultaneously recovered, the recovery rate of an active substance reaches up to 94%, and simultaneously side-effect will not be exerted on the active substance and it selectrochemical properties.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of battery materials, and more specifically relates to a method for recovering positive electrode active materials from leftover materials and slurry of battery materials. Background technique [0002] Lithium-ion batteries have been widely used as power sources for various mobile devices since their commercialization due to their high energy density, high operating voltage, no memory effect, and long cycle life. [0003] The structure of a lithium-ion battery is composed of a positive electrode and a negative electrode. The positive electrode is generally a positive electrode active material, acetylene black, and a binder that are evenly mixed and coated on an aluminum foil current collector. The usual positive electrode active materials mainly include lithium cobaltate, lithium Nickel cobalt aluminum (NCA), lithium nickel manganese cobalt (NCM), lithium manganese spinel (LMO) and lithium iron phosphate (LFP). In a ...
