Example Embodiment

[0063] Example 1

[0064] Collect the spent electrolyte containing dissolved aluminum and aluminum hydroxide in a gravity sedimentation tank, wash the aluminum-air battery with water and inject the cleaning solution together. The volume ratio of the spent electrolyte to the cleaning solution is 1:1, and cool down at 15°C. Leave for 2 days, after the aluminum hydroxide precipitation phase is separated from the solution phase, use a pump to roughly filter the supernatant containing dissolved aluminum and inject it into the seed chamber, stir slowly and add aluminum hydroxide seed crystals, and control the temperature to 30°C , The stirring speed is 50r / min, and the stirring time is 6 days. Afterwards, centrifugation to obtain the sediment of the seed chamber, and put it together with the sediment in the lower layer of the gravity sedimentation tank, repeatedly wash with deionized water until it is neutral, and dry at 60°C for 9 hours to obtain alumina powder. The alumina powder is...

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for recycling an electrolyte of an aluminum-air battery. The method comprises the steps of: diluting a failed electrolyte, performing cooling, standing and layering, collecting a lower-layer precipitate, adding one or more than one seed crystals into the lower-layer precipitate for crystallization to promote most of dissolved aluminum to precipitate, performing centrifuging, drying, firing to obtain alumina, and electrolyzing the alumina to obtain pure aluminum, wherein the separated supernatant can be added with an electrolyte for repeated use. The invention also discloses an aluminum-air battery with the novel electrolyte prepared by the method. Compared with the prior art, the method can effectively remove the aluminum hydroxide precipitate and most of dissolved aluminum in the electrolyte, and does not introduce impurity phases, so that the centrifuged solution can be used as the electrolyte again after the electrolyte is added, and the resource utilization rate is improved. The method is safe, effective, easy to operate, capable of being performed in a fully-closed environment, capable of purifying the working environment, capable of effectively avoiding environmental pollution, low in requirement on equipment and suitable for large-scale industrialization.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of aluminum-air batteries, in particular to an aluminum-air battery and a method for recycling its electrolyte. Background technique [0002] As a renewable, clean and efficient green new energy, aluminum-air batteries have high specific energy, high reliability, long service life, low cost, and environmental protection compared with traditional lead-acid batteries, nickel-metal hydride batteries and lithium-ion batteries. Poisonous, safe storage and transportation, and flexible application, it has become an ideal form of energy storage in applications such as mobile base stations, portable power supplies, and electric vehicle energy. [0003] However, with the rapid development of this technology in recent years, the effective treatment and recycling of the expired waste electrolyte has not been paid attention to, and the recycling process is lacking, and the recycling channels are not smooth. Therefore, i...
