Problems solved by technology

Compared with the valuable metal nickel and cobalt, the price of manganese metal is lower, and the abundance is wider, so the leaching slag is discarded, resulting in waste of manganese metal
This will cause the components in the used lithium-ion batteries to be effectively recycled and produce secondary solid waste, which requires secondary treatment and increases the cost of recycling

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for regenerating an electrode by using a waste lithium battery and leaching residues. The method is characterized by comprising the following steps: 1) discharging and splitting waste LiNixCoyMnzO2, LiCoO2 and LiMn2O4 batteries, and dissolving the batteries with an organic solvent to obtain waste positive electrode mixed powder and negative electrode powder; 2) mechanically mixing the positive electrode powder and the negative electrode powder with a ball mill, and performing carbon thermal reduction treatment; (3) leaching the powder subjected to carbon thermal reduction with water, separating a leaching solution and leaching residues, and evaporating, concentrating and crystallizing the leaching solution to obtain lithium carbonate; (4) leaching the leaching residues by adopting reduced ammonia, and separating ammonia leaching liquid from the leaching residues to obtain a solution rich in high-purity valuable metal nickel and cobalt and manganese oxide leaching residues; and 5) sintering the leaching residues and the regenerated lithium carbonate in the step 2) in a muffle furnace to prepare the LiMn2O4 positive electrode. Based on mixing of multiple waste lithium battery positive and negative electrode materials and full utilization of waste residue regeneration materials in the recovery process, the method has the advantages that the recovery process is green and low in pollution, the recovered waste batteries are wide in source, and the electrochemical performance of regenerated lithium manganate is good.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention designs a recycling method for waste lithium batteries and waste leach slag, and belongs to the technical field of resource utilization of solid waste. Background technique [0002] In recent years, in order to reduce the excessive dependence on traditional fossil energy and improve urban air pollution caused by vehicle exhaust, governments of various countries have vigorously developed new energy industries, which has led to a large number of lithium-ion batteries being put into the market. However, the service life of batteries is limited. After a large number of lithium batteries are scrapped, improper disposal and disposal will cause environmental pollution, and a large number of valuable metal components in lithium batteries will cause a waste of valuable metal resources if they are not effectively recovered. The country is also gradually improving the waste lithium battery recycling market. For example, the National Development and ...
