Problems solved by technology

Although this method can eliminate the influence of trace impurity ions, the effect is not ideal when the concentration of impurity ions in the electrolyte is high. Therefore, when the concentration of impurity ions in the electrolyte is high, it is necessary to consider preliminary impurity removal.
[0005] To sum up, the current method for regenerating the exhausted electrolyte of all-vanadium redox flow batteries generally adopts the method of diluting and adjusting the pH to precipitate vanadium to recover vanadium, which has complex process, high processing cost, and the recovery rate of vanadium cannot reach 100%. Produce waste water and waste gas to pollute the environment; and the method of adding complexing agent to the electrolyte is not suitable for the situation where the content of impurity ions in the electrolyte is high

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for regenerating the spent electrolyte of an all-vanadium redox flow battery. Its technical scheme is: according to the mass ratio of carbon material: anion exchange resin: binder: organic solvent is 1: (0.1 ~ 1): (0.05 ~ 0.5): (2 ~ 10) batching, mixing, to obtain a mixed solution Ⅰ; according to the mass ratio of carbon material: cation exchange resin: binder: organic solvent is 1: (1-5): (0.05-0.5): (2-10) ingredients, mix evenly to obtain mixed liquid II. Spray or smear the mixed solution Ⅰ and mixed solution Ⅱ on the graphite felt electrodes respectively, and then dry them, then place the dried anode composite electrode and cathode composite electrode on the corresponding positive and negative terminals of the capacitive deionization device, Under the condition of DC voltage, the exhausted electrolyte solution of the all-vanadium redox flow battery is circulated and pumped into the capacitive deionization device to obtain the electrolyte solution Ⅰ. Add a chelating agent to the electrolyte I and mix to obtain a regenerated electrolyte. The regenerated electrolyte prepared by the invention has low impurity content and good stability and electrochemical performance.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of vanadium battery electrolyte. In particular, the invention relates to a method for regenerating an exhausted electrolyte of an all-vanadium redox flow battery. Background technique [0002] Vanadium battery is a new type of green and pollution-free chemical energy storage battery. Compared with other energy storage batteries, vanadium batteries have the characteristics of long operating life, low operation and maintenance costs, high reliability, strong safety and easy large-scale application. As an important part of the vanadium battery, the vanadium battery electrolyte is the energy storage active material of the vanadium battery. The performance of the vanadium battery electrolyte directly determines the performance of the vanadium battery. However, after long-term operation of the vanadium battery, the impurity ions in the electrolyte continue to accumulate, which leads to the failure of the electro...
