Problems solved by technology

However, in the above-mentioned method, the former still has many steps, and the types of metals recovered are less. The recovery process of the latter metals is unstable, and the recovery rate varies greatly.
[0006] Generally speaking, the recycling of cathode materials for lithium-ion batteries has problems such as low selectivity, cumbersome recycling procedures, and secondary pollution.
At the same time, after nickel, cobalt and manganese are separated out in the recovery process, lithium loss is serious, the recovery rate is low, and the concentration of lithium-containing solution is low, which limits its industrial application value. Therefore, it is urgent to develop a short-range, efficient and selective recovery of lithium. Technology of Positive Electrode Waste of Ion Batteries

Abstract

The invention provides a method for selectively recycling positive electrode materials for lithium ion batteries. The method comprises the following steps: carrying out transformation processing aftermixing the recycling positive electrode materials for lithium ion batteries with an additive; leaching an obtained transformation product with a leaching agent, and carrying out solid-liquid separation to obtain a lithium-rich solution and a solid slag; and preparing the obtained lithium-rich solution into a lithium salt and the obtained solid slag into a transition metal salt. According to the method, recycling of valuable metals in the positive electrode materials for lithium ion batteries is realized by using in situ crystal transformation and mild leaching methods, particularly, selectiveextraction for lithium is realized, the recycle rate reaches 95% or above, and the recycle rate of other valuable metals such as nickel, cobalt and manganese reaches 98% or above; the method is shortin flow, other impurity ions are not introduced, the product purity is high, secondary pollution and liquid waste disposal can also be avoided, the recycle cost is saved, and the method is easy to realize industrial application.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of resource recovery and utilization, and relates to a method for selectively recovering positive electrode materials of lithium-ion batteries. Background technique [0002] Lithium-ion battery is a rechargeable battery that does not contain cadmium, lead, mercury and other elements that pollute the environment. Due to its outstanding performance and environmental advantages, lithium-ion batteries have become an ideal choice for portable energy applications.
