Problems solved by technology

However, the process of this method is complicated. After all the metals are leached into the solution to remove impurities, the impurity metals will sink into the slag, which is unreasonable from the perspective of reaction engineering; at the same time, obtaining cobalt sulfate and lithium sulfate mixed salt requires evaporation and crystallization, which can The consumption is high, and the value of cobalt sulfate and lithium sulfate mixed salt is not high, and metal resources have not been rationally utilized
[0005] Existing related technology 2 uses a combination of fire and wet methods to reduce and roast the positive electrode material to transform lithium in advance, and then selectively recover lithium through water quenching. This process is simple and the recovery rate of lithium is high, but the roasting temperature is high and energy consumption is high. Big
[0006] Existing related technology 3 oxidizes the positive electrode material and the oxidant under high temperature conditions to separate the lithium element. This process uses an oxidation method to break the lithium cobaltate lattice, which requires a lot of energy and high energy consumption, and the use of the oxidant To some extent, there are security risks

Abstract

The invention provides a recycling method for a positive electrode material of a waste lithium cobalt oxide battery. The method comprises the steps of adding a salt assistant and a reducing agent into the positive electrode material of the lithium cobalt oxide battery, and roasting the obtained mixture in a reducing atmosphere; and carrying out water leaching treatment on the roasted product, and carrying out solid-liquid separation to obtain a lithium-rich solution. According to the method, lithium in the positive electrode material of the lithium cobalt oxide battery can be efficiently transformed into water-soluble lithium salt at a low temperature, and effective separation of lithium and other components can be realized through water leaching treatment; and the method simplifies the production process, reduces the energy consumption and has potential industrial application value.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of lithium ion battery treatment, in particular to a method for recycling the positive electrode material of waste lithium cobalt oxide batteries. Background technique [0002] Lithium cobalt oxide batteries are mainly used as power sources for small portable electronic devices such as mobile phones and notebook computers. With the widespread application of portable electronic devices, the use of lithium cobalt oxide batteries is increasing year by year. The service life of lithium cobalt oxide batteries is generally 2 to 3 years. Waste of metal resources. Therefore, it is of great significance to recycle waste lithium cobalt oxide batteries. [0003] At present, the recycling methods of lithium cobalt oxide batteries are roughly divided into two categories: fire recycling and wet recycling. Among them, lithium is mainly enriched in the two phases of slag and soot in the pyroprocessing process, and exists...
