Problems solved by technology

Although this method can effectively recover lithium hexafluorophosphate, lithium hexafluorophosphate is unstable and easy to decompose, which requires high requirements for demolition and enrichment processes, which increases the process cost
[0004] At present, the industrial treatment of waste lithium-ion battery electrolyte is calcination and cracking after heating and evaporation. The cracking of organic solvents requires high-temperature calcination, which consumes energy, and the ethylene carbonate, propylene carbonate, and additives contained in the electrolyte have relatively high High value, direct calcination is contrary to the sustainable development strategy advocated by the country

Abstract

The invention provides a full recovery method of waste lithium ion battery electrolyte, aiming at recovering valuable lithium salts, organic solvents and additives in the waste electrolyte, and recovering harmful impurities such as fluorine, phosphorus and the like after harmless treatment. According to the invention, after cleaning, cleaning solvent recovery, organic solvent and additive recovery, fluorine and phosphorus recovery and lithium salt recovery processes, lithium salt is finally recovered in the form of lithium carbonate, organic solvent and additive are separated, purified and recycled, and fluorine and phosphorus are recovered in the form of precipitation. The process is simple and feasible. Waste electrolyte is fully recycled and has no pollution to the environment. The recovery rate of components of waste electrolyte is over 95%, which is suitable for large-scale industrial application.

Description

Technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of lithium ion batteries, in particular to a method for fully recovering waste lithium ion battery electrolyte. Background technique [0002] With the global energy crisis and environmental pollution intensifying, the development and application of new energy is imperative. Lithium-ion batteries have been developing rapidly since they were commercialized in the 1990s. Compared with traditional chemical batteries, it has the advantages of light weight, small size, high voltage, high specific energy, wide operating temperature range, high specific power, stable discharge, long storage time, no memory effect, and no pollution. At present, lithium-ion batteries have been widely used in portable electronic products such as mobile phones, digital cameras, notebook computers, and have shown wide application prospects in electric vehicles (EV), hybrid electric vehicles (HEV), and energy storage systems. It is the "21st Century G...
