Problems solved by technology

This method uses organic solvent stripping, although the stripping effect is better, but the cost of organic solvent stripping is high, the efficiency is low, and the organic matter is volatile, which is easy to cause environmental pollution, which restricts the large-scale application
[0006] Other methods such as ion exchange method, sulfide bacteria leaching, etc. have successfully recovered valuable metal elements, but these methods have certain limitations, such as ion exchange method is more complicated to operate, the steps are more cumbersome, and it is only suitable for the separation and purification of a small amount of ions ; Bacteria culture, harsh conditions of use, and difficulty in industrialization of sulfide bacteria leaching technology have restricted the application and promotion of the technology

Embodiment 1

[0087] A certain type of waste lithium cobalt oxide battery is used as raw material. Firstly, the waste batteries are discharged, disassembled, and screened to obtain positive electrode materials. Weigh 800g of lithium cobaltate positive electrode material and treat it in a muffle furnace at 450°C for 2h, then remove the binder, quench it with water and process it in ultrasonic vibration for 30min, so that the positive electrode material and aluminum foil are peeled off. The large mesh screen is used to remove and separate the aluminum foil, and the aluminum foil can be directly used for aluminum smelting after washing. The obtained black fine slag was treated with 4mol / L sulfuric acid, and 30% hydrogen peroxide was added at the same time, the solid-liquid ratio was controlled to 80g / L, the temperature was controlled at 80°C, and the leaching solution of valuable metals was obtained by filtration. The acid leaching residue is mainly acid-insoluble matter such as carbon powder...

Abstract

The invention discloses a method and a system for recovering lithium and cobalt from waste lithium cobalt oxide batteries. The method comprises the following steps of: disassembling a positive electrode sheet from a waste lithium cobalt oxide battery; Removing the binder in the positive electrode sheet, and then acid leaching the valuable metal elements in the positive electrode sheet to obtain anacidizing leaching solution; The acidified leachate was treated by ultrafiltration membrane. Separating lithium ions in acidified leaching solution from other cations different from lithium ions by using nanofiltration membrane technology to obtain lithium-containing solution and solution containing other cations, and concentrating and enriching the lithium-containing solution and the solution containing other cations respectively by reverse osmosis technology, wherein the other cations include cobalt ions; And a lithium precipitant is used to precipitate lithium ions from a lithium-containing solution, and an alkaline substance is used to precipitate cobalt ions from a solution containing other cations, thereby realizing the recovery of lithium and cobalt. The adoption of ultrafiltration-Nanofiltration-Reverse osmosis combined technology has the characteristics of simple process, less acid and alkali consumption, good and stable membrane separation effect and so on.
