Problems solved by technology

The separation principle is that the organic binder polyvinylidene fluoride in the positive pole piece undergoes a thermal decomposition reaction under high temperature conditions. The red mud can not only promote the decomposition of polyvinylidene fluoride through the action of flux, but also absorb polyvinylidene fluoride. The fluoride released by the thermal decomposition of vinyl fluoride can effectively solve the problem of equipment corrosion and environmental pollution caused by the high-temperature separation of aluminum foil and positive electrode material powder in the positive electrode sheet of waste lithium batteries and the fluoride released by the thermal decomposition of polyvinylidene fluoride compared with the existing technology question

Abstract

The invention discloses a method of using red mud as a reaction medium to separate the positive electrode material and aluminum foil of a waste lithium battery. The method can realize the separation of the positive electrode material and aluminum foil in the positive pole piece of a waste lithium battery by using red mud as a high temperature reaction medium. Mud, as an in-situ reaction reagent, promoted the adsorption of fluoride produced by the high-temperature thermal decomposition and decomposition of the organic binder polyvinylidene fluoride in the positive electrode sheet of the spent lithium battery. Compared with the prior art, the method of the present invention uses red mud as the reaction medium to separate the positive electrode material and aluminum foil of the waste lithium battery. Flux can solve the problem of industrial solid waste stacking, and can also realize the reduction, recycling and harmlessness of industrial solid waste. The peeling rate of red mud on the aluminum foil and positive electrode material of the positive electrode sheet of the waste lithium battery is as high as 97.0 wt%.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of industrial solid waste and electronic waste treatment and recycling, and more specifically relates to a method of using red mud as a reaction medium to separate the positive electrode material and aluminum foil of a waste lithium battery. The high-temperature reaction medium realizes the separation of the positive electrode material and the aluminum foil in the positive pole piece of the waste lithium battery. Adsorption of fluoride. Background technique [0002] With the increasing shortage of global fossil resources and the urgent need to deal with greenhouse gas emissions, the development of new energy electric vehicles to reduce the consumption of fossil resources and reduce environmental pollution is gradually becoming a broad social consensus. In 2017, global sales of electric vehicles reached 1.09 million, a year-on-year increase of 57%. However, corresponding to the thriving new energy vehicle m...
