Abstract

The invention discloses a method for recovering valuable elements in waste lithium ion battery electrode materials. The method comprises steps of roasting the waste lithium ion battery electrode materials in an inert gas atmosphere, the roasting temperature is 200 -600 DEG C, the time is 30-360 minutes, and the roasting slag is obtained; mixing the obtained roasting slag and an acidic solution with [H+] concentration of 0.5~8 mol/L according to the mass ratio of 1:3~10; leaching at the leaching temperature of 30-90 DEG C and leaching time of 1-8 hours, leach liquor and leach residues are filtered to be obtained; the leach liquor is used for recovering nickel, cobalt, manganese, aluminum and lithium, and the leach residues are used for preparing negative electrode materials. According to the method for recovering valuable elements in waste lithium ion battery electrode materials, a leaching reducing agent does not need to be additionally added, the battery sorting and recycling costs are reduced, the positive and the negative electrode materials can be recovered at the same time, and the economic benefits of lithium battery recovery can be improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to a recycling method for waste lithium battery electrode materials, in particular to a recycling method for ternary materials of lithium ion batteries. Background technique [0002] my country has become the world's largest producer, consumer and exporter of lithium batteries, and the cumulative sales of electric vehicles will reach 5 million in 2020. With the soaring sales of electric vehicles, the problem of soaring power battery scrap will become more and more prominent. Spent batteries still have high-voltage direct current, so there is a risk of combustion and explosion. Compared with lead-acid batteries, power batteries have no lead pollution, but they also have phosphorus, cobalt, nickel and other pollution. my country's emission standards for heavy metals cobalt and nickel are <0.5 mg / L. Therefore, if it is not properly disposed of, it will cause great pollution to the environment. In addition, my country's cobalt a...
