Abstract

The invention provides a method for mixed acid leaching and recovery of metal components of positive pole materials of waste and old lithium ion batteries. The method comprises carrying out coarse crushing on wastes, drying the crushed wastes, pre-leaching the wastes through a mixed acid containing a reduction agent to obtain pre-separated residues, carrying out ball milling, carrying out primary and secondary leaching, mixing the primary and secondary leachates and the pre-leachate, adjusting pH of the mixture, carrying out suction filtration to obtain aluminum hydroxide and raffinate containing cobalt and lithium, adjusting pH of the raffinate containing cobalt and lithium at a high temperature, carrying out suction filtration to obtain cobalt hydroxide and raffinate containing lithium, carrying out concentration on the raffinate containing lithium at a high temperature, adding a saturated sodium carbonate solution into the concentrate to obtain high purity lithium carbonate, and recovering aluminum foil. The method utilizes a mixed acid leaching agent, has high leaching efficiency, can gradually acquire high purity aluminum, aluminum hydroxide, cobalt hydroxide and high purity lithium carbonate (having purity of 99.9%), realizes efficient recovery, overall recovery and collaborative recovery of high-value metals in the waste and old lithium-ion batteries and has a good application prospect.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of recycling of secondary resources and circular economy, and in particular relates to a mixed acid leaching and recovery method of metal components in positive electrode materials of waste lithium ion batteries. Background technique [0002] With the innovation of energy storage and supply methods, the application range of lithium-ion batteries has become more extensive, and its application involves many fields such as electronic products, automobiles, and aerospace. The promotion and use of new lithium-ion batteries has overcome the negative environmental impact brought about by traditional energy supply and storage methods, and reduced the cost of energy storage. However, according to the statistics of the International Technology Federation, the average service life of lithium-ion batteries for mobile power equipment is only 2-3 years, and the average service life of lithium-ion batteries for electric ve...
