Abstract

The invention discloses a method for recycling valuable metals in a waste lithium battery material assisted by diaphragm pyrolysis, which comprises the following steps of: performing thermal reduction on high-valence transition metals in a waste ternary positive electrode material by using a diaphragm in a waste lithium battery, reducing nickel and cobalt into simple substances or divalent oxides, reducing manganese into low-valence divalent manganese, and forming lithium carbonate by a lithium element. And the reduced waste ternary positive electrode powder is leached in a hot sulfuric acid solution, and finally the leaching efficiency of lithium, nickel, cobalt and manganese is larger than 99%. Meanwhile, pyrolysis oil and pyrolysis gas generated by diaphragm pyrolysis in the thermal reduction process can be recycled as fuel. According to the technical scheme, the purposes of efficient recycling of valuable metal and efficient utilization and resource recycling of the waste diaphragm are synchronously achieved, the technological process is simple, the efficiency is high, and the transportation, storage and management cost is effectively reduced.
