Problems solved by technology

This method has a short comprehensive recovery process, but the Lewis acids used are transition metal halides, transition metal sulfates and transition metal nitrates, which are not only costly, but also difficult to treat the subsequent waste liquid, and are prone to environmental pollution.
[0006] It can be seen from the above that the cost of the current lithium pre-extraction process is high, and the process does not form a closed loop, resulting in large consumption of raw materials and easy pollution to the environment
At the same time, the current lithium precipitation process often uses Na 2 CO 3 As a precipitant, subsequent crystallization generates a large amount of Na 2 SO 4 pile up beyond disposal

Abstract

The invention relates to the field of recycling of waste lithium ion batteries, and provides a method for recycling lithium from a positive electrode material of a waste lithium ion battery. The method comprises the following steps: mixing the positive electrode material of the waste lithium ion battery with (NH4)2SO4 for sulfating roasting, destroying a layered structure of the positive electrode material so as to smoothly remove lithium ions, and performing water leaching on the roasted product to obtain a lithium-rich leaching solution and a transition metal oxide slag phase. Ammonium carbonate is added into the leaching solution after impurity removal and purification, lithium is recycled in the form of Li2CO3 precipitation at a certain temperature, and the solution is evaporated and crystallized after lithium precipitation to prepare (NH4)2SO4 so that the recycling of the lithium in the positive electrode material of the waste lithium ion battery and the recycling of (NH4)2SO4 are realized, and the lithium-containing residual solution can be recycled in a water leaching stage. The method is short in recycling process, low in cost and clean in process, and the purity of the obtained lithium carbonate is as high as 99.6 wt%.
