Abstract

The invention discloses a method for recycling polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), aluminum and cathode wastes (a mixture of active substances and conductive carbon powder) in waste battery cathode piecesof lithium ion batteries by virtue of a supercritical fluid extraction process. The method comprises the following steps: firstly disassembling cathodes of the lithium ion batteries, soaking in an organic solvent, taking out, carrying out drying treatment, and obtaining cathode pieces which do not contain electrolyte; then carrying out supercritical extraction treatment on the treated cathode pieces, namely dissolving a binder PVDF in the cathode pieces into a supercritical fluid, and extracting and separating the binder PVDF; mechanically separating remaining aluminum foils and the cathode wastes which lose cohesiveness and are mutually stripped; and directly taking the separated cathode wastes as a raw material for producing a lithium ion battery cathode material. The method disclosed by the invention does not use an acid-base fluid to treat electrodes or carry out high-temperature incineration, so that chemical waste liquor or toxic waste gas is not produced; and by virtue of the supercritical extraction treatment way, the recycled aluminum foils, PVDF and cathode wastes can be directly taken as the raw material to be recycled, so that the method has the advantages of economy,high efficiency and environmental friendliness.
