Abstract

The invention provides a method for selectively recycling lithium in a waste lithium ion battery positive electrode material. The method comprises the following steps: (1) adding an oxidant into the waste lithium ion battery positive electrode material and carrying out oxidization reaction; converting lithium into water-soluble lithium salt through an auxiliary agent; (2) leaching the water-soluble lithium salt obtained by step (1) in water or an acidic solution and filtering to obtain a lithium-enriched solution and leached residues. The method provided by the invention has a simple flow anda clean process and the recycling rate of the lithium can reach 95 percent or above.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of resource recovery, and relates to a method for recovering lithium in positive electrode materials, in particular to a method for selectively recovering lithium in positive electrode materials of waste lithium ion batteries. Background technique [0002] Lithium-ion batteries have become the main type of power batteries due to their significant advantages of high voltage, large specific energy, light weight, long cycle life and good safety performance. With the development of the new energy vehicle industry, the related new energy vehicle power battery industry will also grow rapidly. At the same time, about 15% of the total power batteries are scrapped every year, and it is expected that the climax of lithium-ion battery scrapping will soon be ushered in. If waste lithium-ion batteries are not disposed of safely, it will cause great harm to the environment and public safety. The current conventional pra...
