Abstract

The invention discloses a method for regenerating and recovering a cathode material of a waste lithium battery. The method comprises the steps of firstly performing graded treatment on cathode materials of waste lithium ion batteries with organic substances on the surfaces thereof disassembled and removed, and removing powdered small particles from the waste lithium ion battery material; then grinding and mixing the waste materials obtained after grading with lithium salt balls in a suitable proportion or immerging the waste materials into a lithium salt solution to obtain a uniformly lithium-mixed waste material; and finally performing heat treatment on the lithium-mixed waste material in an atmosphere of air or oxygen by adopting a microwave sintering method, and regenerating and preparing a lithium ion battery material. As microwave sintering is adopted in the method, the material temperature rise speed is fast and the efficiency is high; furthermore, strong acid and strong alkalineare not required in the whole recovery process, so that no waste slag, no acid wastewater and no alkaline wastewater is generated, and secondary pollution is hard to occur. Meanwhile, the method is simple in process; and the temperature inside the material is more uniform, the quality of the regenerated product is stable and the performances are good during the microwave heating process.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of waste battery recycling, in particular to a method for regenerating and repairing the positive electrode material of waste lithium ion batteries. technical background [0002] Lithium-ion batteries have been widely used in various fields of our lives, bringing great convenience to life. However, Lithium-ion batteries slowly fail over time. An obvious manifestation of lithium-ion battery failure is the reduction in the capacity of the positive electrode material. During the charging and discharging process of lithium ions, lithium ions are continuously intercalated and extracted in the positive electrode material. During the long-term cyclic deintercalation process of lithium ions, the structure of the positive electrode material will change to a certain extent, resulting in the inability of some lithium ions to return to the original structural position of the material, resulting in the loss of lithium and the de...
