Problems solved by technology

This method does not involve the recycling of components such as separators and electrolytes, and the roasting of the positive electrode sheet in an aerobic environment is likely to generate harmful gases
[0007] Chinese patent CN 111682276A disassembles waste power batteries to obtain electric cores; takes out the separator in the electric cores for use, and then performs anaerobic thermal decomposition on the electric cores in a vacuum environment to obtain electrode powder; extracts the Nickel, cobalt and manganese elements, this method does not involve the treatment of the electrolyte, and the diaphragm and the battery are treated separately. The extraction process also needs to add an oxidant, and the cost of the reagent is relatively high.

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for recovering all components of a waste lithium ion battery. The method comprises the following steps: 1) discharging and treating the waste lithium ion battery, removing the shell and crushing it; 2) putting all the crushed materials in a protective gas Heat treatment under protection to obtain heat-treated solid products and combustible fuel gas; 3) disperse the heat-treated solid products, and sieve to obtain coarse current collectors and fine electrode materials; 4) Extract lithium from the fine electrode materials in water to obtain lithium leachate and lithium extraction slag; 5) acid leaching the lithium extraction slag to obtain metal leachate and graphite. The method of the present invention realizes the recovery of all components of waste lithium-ion batteries, and has the advantages of full quantitative and efficient utilization, environmental friendliness, and simple process. At the same time, due to the self-reduction reaction in the heat treatment process, the acid leaching process of positive electrode powder does not need to add reducing agents. , has significant economic benefits.
