Abstract

The invention discloses a waste Ni-Co-Mn lithium manganate positive electrode material recycling method. The waste Ni-Co-Mn lithium manganate positive electrode material recycling method comprises dismantling waste Ni-Co-Mn lithium manganate batteries, crushing positive electrode sheets, sieving and reducing crushed materials through hydrogen in a reducing furnace; washing reduced materials in hotpurified water to obtain washing solution and washed residues, inletting carbon dioxide into the washing solution to obtain lithium hydrogen carbonate solution and aluminum hydroxide precipitates, calcining the aluminum hydroxide precipitates to obtain ultrafine aluminum oxide, and pyrolyzing the lithium hydrogen carbonate solution to obtain battery-level lithium carbonate; adding the washed residues into hydrazine hydrate solution, then adding and stirring in sodium hydroxide for reaction, filtering the mixture to obtain a second filter liquor and second filtered residues, vacuum-drying thesecond filtered residues inside a vacuum drying oven, screening and magnetically-separating dried materials to obtain Ni-Co-Mn ternary alloy powder, or directly dissolving the dried materials in acidto obtain Ni-Co-Mn ternary mixed solution. The waste Ni-Co-Mn lithium manganate positive electrode material recycling method is low in cost, capable of achieving separation and recycling of all components, and high in recycling rate and value added of products.
