Embodiment 1

[0048] A method for recovering lithium iron phosphate cathode sheet with low energy consumption and low Al content, comprising the following steps:

[0049] S1. Use a crusher to crush the lithium iron phosphate cathode sheet to be recovered into coarse particles, and control the particle size to about 5-10 mm to obtain a crushed material;

[0050] S2. Use a roller furnace to put a broken material in N 2 Calcining under the atmosphere, set the temperature of the holding zone to 450°C, the heating time is 2h, the holding time is 1h, and after cooling to below 95°C, it is released from the furnace to obtain the calcined material;

[0051] S3. Grinding the calcined material with a pulverizer into a powder with a particle size D50 between 50 and 80 μm to obtain a secondary crushed material;

[0052] S4. Classify the secondary crushed material with an airflow classifier, screen out the Al element therein, and obtain a lithium iron phosphate positive electrode material with a low Al...

Abstract

The invention provides a low-energy-consumption and low-Al-content recovery method for a lithium iron phosphate positive plate. The method comprises the following steps of firstly, crushing a to-be-recycled positive plate into coarse particles by using a crusher to obtain a crushed material with the particle size of 1-15mm; heating the primary crushed material to 350-500 DEG C in an inert atmosphere, keeping the temperature for 0.5-2 hours, cooling and discharging to obtain a calcined material; crushing the calcined material into powder by using a crusher to obtain a secondary crushed materialof which the D50 is 50-80 microns; and finally, grading the secondary crushed material by using an airflow grading machine to obtain the positive electrode material of which the Al content is less than 200ppm. Through primary crushing, calcining, secondary crushing and airflow grading, the positive electrode material can be separated and recycled from the aluminum foil; and in the process, low-energy-consumption and low-Al-content recovery of the positive electrode material can be realized by controlling process parameters such as the size of the primary crushed particles, the calcining temperature and time and the particle size of the secondary crushed particles.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of recycling lithium-ion waste batteries, in particular to a method for recycling lithium iron phosphate cathode sheets with low energy consumption and low Al content. Background technique [0002] In recent years, lithium-ion batteries have been widely used in automotive power batteries, energy storage power systems, and power tools, electric bicycles, electric motorcycles, military equipment, aerospace, 3C and other fields, and the number is very large. However, as the service life of lithium-ion batteries approaches, a large number of decommissioned and scrapped batteries will be produced. For the recovery of these decommissioned and scrapped lithium-ion batteries, fire or wet processes were mainly used to recover precious metals, such as Li and Co. However, this method not only has a low utilization rate of various materials in lithium-ion batteries, but also causes great pollution to the environment, a...
