Abstract

The invention discloses a method for recovering an electrolyte in a waste lithium ion battery. The method comprises the steps that the single cell of the waste lithium ion battery after discharging isdisassembled; thermal cracking treatment is carried out at 300 to 500 DEG C, wherein the pyrolysis time is 0.5 to 1.5h; the solid material after thermal cracking is pulverized, sorted and recovered to acquire an electrode material, iron, aluminum and copper powder; the thermally cracked gas is first dedusted and then condensed to recover the condensed electrolyte; and the condensed gas is discharged after being leached with an alkaline solution. According to the method provided by the invention, the electrolyte is recovered, and the fluorine content of the discharged gas is reduced to below the emission standard to meet the requirement of environmental protection treatment.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of recycling waste lithium-ion batteries, and in particular relates to a method for recycling and treating electrolytes of waste lithium-ion batteries. Background technique [0002] With the rapid development of new energy electric vehicles, the output of automotive power lithium batteries will increase significantly. Lithium batteries contain various recyclable materials. An electric vehicle uses an average of 50 kg of positive electrode materials, 40 kg of negative electrode materials, and 40 kg of electrolyte. In 2018, 5,000 tons of positive electrode materials, 4,000 tons of negative electrode materials, and 4,000 tons of electrolyte will be produced. If 2 million lithium battery electric vehicles are invested in 2020, 100,000 tons of positive electrodes, 80,000 tons of negative electrodes, and 80,000 tons of electrolyte will be produced in 2025-2027, and the industrial scale will exceed 35 billion yuan...
