Problems solved by technology

At present, most of them use the method of carbonization of carbon dioxide under normal pressure or the method of hydrogenation decomposition to prepare battery-grade lithium carbonate, but the reaction is difficult to control, and the recovery rate is poor, the production cycle is long, the output is low, and the cost is high in the preparation process.
[0004] At present, there are many researches on the recycling of waste lithium iron phosphate batteries at home and abroad. Chinese patents such as application numbers 201610728143.3, 201610723286.5, and 201110065079.2 all disclose a method for recycling industrial lithium carbonate from lithium iron phosphate batteries. The way of precipitation, on the one hand, alkali washing will take away part of the lithium, resulting in a decrease in lithium recovery; on the other hand, the sodium carbonate precipitation method will make the sodium ion content of lithium carbonate products too high to reach the battery level.
The Chinese patent application number 201410443005.1 discloses a method for recycling and preparing battery-grade lithium carbonate from lithium-ion batteries, including the steps of preparing lithium-fluorine-containing slag, acid leaching, alkali-adjusted pH removal, carbonate precipitation, and washing. This method introduces fluorine, which brings troubles to the subsequent recovery of toxic and harmful gases and waste solids. At the same time, the introduction of sodium during precipitation will cause difficulties in subsequent washing

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for recycling battery-grade lithium carbonate from anode powder of a waste lithium iron phosphate battery. According to the method, anode powder of the waste lithium iron phosphate battery is studied, a vacuum boiling leaching mode is adopted, the leaching rate of lithium is greatly increased, influence of impurity metals is greatly reduced, and convenience is brought to later decontamination; in the presence of CO2, lithium carbonate is prepared from ammonium carbonate through vacuum precipitation, influence of sodium ions to impurity is avoided, the recyclingeffect of lithium is improved, thermal washing is implemented with RO (Reverse Osmosis) pure water, and the battery-grade lithium carbonate can be prepared. The method is a novel process route whichis short in process, high in lithium recycling rate, high in lithium carbonate purity, large in product additional value and capable of recycling waste lithium iron phosphate anode powder, and has great social values and considerable economic benefits.
