Problems solved by technology

The method uses a sodium hydroxide solution containing a large amount of organic solvents to adjust the pH of the acid leaching solution, which greatly reduces the concentration of lithium ions in the acid leaching solution, resulting in a low lithium precipitation rate in the subsequent preparation of lithium carbonate, thereby reducing the overall recovery rate of lithium. , and the introduction of organic reagents increases the processing burden and energy consumption of the subsequent separation process

Abstract

The invention provides a method for preparing lithium carbonate from lithium-containing electrode wastes. The method comprises the following steps: (1) pulping the lithium-containing electrode wastesby using an aqueous solution, and then performing electrochemical treatment to obtain a reaction slurry, carrying out solid-liquid separation on the reaction slurry, wherein the obtained liquid is a lithium-containing purged liquor; (2) adjusting the lithium-containing purged liquor to be alkaline, and adding carbonate for carrying out a lithium precipitation reaction, carrying out solid-liquid separation after reaction, wherein the obtained solid is lithium carbonate. The method provided by the invention is short in flow, simple to operate and accurate and controllable in reaction process; nothree wastes are discharged in the whole process; the consumption of alkaline substances is greatly reduced; the recovery selectivity and the single extraction rate of the lithium can reach more than95%; the purity of the obtained lithium carbonate product meets the requirements of battery-grade lithium carbonate; moreover, the high-value conversion of other metal components in the lithium-containing electrode wastes can be realized.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of resource utilization of waste lithium ion batteries, in particular to a method for preparing lithium carbonate from lithium-containing electrode waste. Background technique [0002] Lithium-ion batteries are widely used in 3C digital products, electric vehicles, energy storage and other fields due to their outstanding advantages such as high energy density, light weight, long cycle life, and no memory effect. Accompanied by it, the generation of a large number of waste lithium-ion batteries has posed a severe challenge to the electronic waste disposal and environmental protection in my country and the world. On the one hand, waste lithium-ion batteries contain toxic and flammable electrolytes, heavy metals and other harmful components. If they are not handled properly, they will cause serious water and soil pollution, and even cause fires, explosions and other safety accidents; on the other hand, waste batteries co...
