Problems solved by technology

[0004] 1. In the wet leaching process mentioned above, it is often necessary to use strong oxidizing and acidic substances such as hydrogen peroxide and sulfuric acid. High corrosion requirements and high equipment costs
Moreover, lithium elements are not preferentially leached, resulting in a large consumption of leaching acid or alkali leaching solution, and the recovery process is complicated. The recovered lithium carbonate products are often of low grade and cannot be directly used as battery materials for recycling.
[0005] 2. The direct preparation of lithium iron phosphate cathode materials by high-temperature calcination often has a long process flow, which requires relatively strict detection and dosage adjustment steps. The recovery process is difficult to control, and it is easy to cause unqualified products and waste of raw materials, so the practical application is very limited.

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for recovering valuable metals from a waste lithium iron phosphate battery cathode material. The method specifically comprises the following steps: (1) fully roastingand oxidizing the disassembled, broken and ground lithium iron phosphate battery cathode material, so that Fe and Li metal elements in the battery cathode material are generated into Fe2O3, FePO4 andLi3PO4 through being roasted and oxidized; (2) placing a roasted material that is fully-roasted and oxidized in the step (1) in a dilute acid solution for soaking, so that Li3PO4 in the roasted material is fully dissolved and filtered to realize the separation of the Li3PO4 in the roasted material from the Fe2O3 and the FePO4; (3) taking a filtrate after treatment in the step (3) and regulating the filtrate to be alkaline, so that Li3PO4 in the filtrate is directly separated out into a precipitate. Therefore, the recovery of the solid Li3PO4 is realized. The method disclosed by the invention is short in technical process, simple to operate, low in cost and environmentally-friendly and can preferentially select and recycle the high-grade lithium metals in the lithium iron phosphate batterycathode material, thereby having a wide industrial application prospect.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of secondary recycling and utilization of waste battery resources, in particular to a method for recovering three valuable metals, phosphorus, iron and lithium, from waste lithium iron phosphate battery anode materials. Background technique [0002] Under the dual pressure of energy saving and emission reduction, new energy vehicles have become the direction of the future development of the automobile industry. With the vigorous promotion of the government, the new energy automobile industry will enter the rapid development stage from the initial stage. As the second most critical component of new energy vehicles, the demand for power batteries is growing rapidly.
