Abstract

The invention discloses a method for recovering electrolyte of a waste lithium ion battery. The method comprises the following steps: (1) dissecting the waste lithium ion battery, taking out a battery cell, and separating the battery cell in a centrifugal machine to obtain the waste electrolyte; (2) filtering, decoloring and dehydrating the waste electrolyte; (3) carrying out component analysis on the dehydrated waste electrolyte, supplementing electrolyte and organic solvent, adjusting the electrolyte to the component proportion of the electrolyte for the lithium ion battery, and thus producing an electrolyte product. By adopting the method, the recycling of the electrolyte of the waste lithium ion battery can be realized, the environmental pollution caused by the electrolyte can be avoided, and high efficiency and environmental protection can be realized. The recycled product can be used as the electrolyte to be returned to the lithium battery industry, so that the resource is saved, and the pollution is reduced.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of recycling lithium ion batteries, in particular to a method for recycling the electrolyte of waste lithium ion batteries. Background technique [0002] Lithium-ion batteries are widely used in electronics, transportation, and other fields because of their significant advantages such as high voltage, large capacity, low cost, good safety performance, long life, no memory effect, and environmental friendliness. With the development of science and technology and the rapid development of the electric vehicle industry, people's demand for lithium-ion batteries has increased sharply, and the consumption of lithium-ion batteries is increasing. It is expected that in the next few years, a large number of waste batteries will be generated after the end of life of lithium-ion batteries. Lithium-ion electrolyte is an organic liquid, which will absorb water and deteriorate in the air. At the same time, it contains toxic compon...
