Abstract

The invention provides a method for recycling and regenerating lithium cobalt oxide from waste lithium ion batteries. The method comprises the following steps: stripping an aluminum sheet from a positive plate of a waste lithium ion battery to obtain a positive active substance; preparing a deep eutectic solvent which is choline chloride-oxalic acid, glycine betaine-oxalic acid or hydroxypropyl trimethyl ammonium chloride-oxalic acid; adding the positive active substance into the deep eutectic solvent, stirring and leaching at 50-80 DEG C, and carrying out solid-liquid separation to obtain carbon-containing filter residue and filtrate containing cobalt and lithium; diluting the filtrate containing cobalt and lithium, stirring, standing, and carrying out solid-liquid separation to obtain afilter residue containing cobalt oxalate and a filtrate containing lithium; introducing carbon dioxide gas or adding carbonic acid into the lithium-containing filtrate, and filtering to obtain a lithium carbonate precipitate; and drying, grinding, mixing and roasting the cobalt oxalate-containing filter residue and the lithium carbonate precipitate to obtain lithium cobalt oxide. The method is simple in process and high in metal recovery rate; and the recovery process is low in condition requirement, low in leaching temperature requirement and environment-friendly.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of nonferrous metal metallurgy, and more specifically, relates to a method for recovering and regenerating lithium cobaltate from waste lithium ion batteries. Background technique [0002] Lithium-ion batteries using lithium cobalt oxide as the cathode material have been widely used in small mobile electronic devices, electric vehicles and other fields since their commercial application in the 1990s. However, the average service life of this type of lithium-ion battery is about 3 to 5 years, and more than 10 billion such lithium-ion batteries have been scrapped at present. Therefore, the recycling of such waste lithium-ion batteries is very important, not only to reduce environmental pollution, but also to alleviate the tight supply and demand of cobalt resources. [0003] The recycling of waste lithium-ion batteries can be roughly divided into: pre-treatment of batteries, separation of positive electrode m...
