Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of recycling and reusing waste lithium-ion power batteries, and in particular to a method for recycling negative electrode materials of waste lithium-ion power batteries. Background Art
[0002] With the widespread application of lithium-ion power batteries in new energy vehicles and energy storage equipment, the problem of recycling used batteries has become increasingly prominent. Although existing technologies can already realize the extraction and recycling of valuable metals in used lithium-ion batteries, there are still many deficiencies and defects in practical applications, resulting in low recycling efficiency, high energy consumption, and high environmental pollution risks, making it difficult to meet the needs of large-scale industrial applications.
[0003] Existing recycling technologies have obvious deficiencies in metal extraction efficiency. When traditional mechanical crushing technology is used for the initial processing of battery materials, due to the uneven powder particle size, some materials cannot fully contact the solution during the subsequent chemical leaching process, which in turn affects the metal extraction efficiency. Chemical leaching is the main method of metal extraction. Although it can extract metal elements such as lithium, nickel, and cobalt from battery materials, its selectivity is poor, especially when dealing with mixed materials of multiple metal elements. It is difficult to achieve accurate separation, and the extracted metal purity is low, which affects the subsequent refining and reuse. Due to unstable process conditions, the extraction rate is often difficult to improve, resulting in a large amount of resource waste.
[0004] Existing recycling technologies have high energy consumption, especially in thermal treatment processes, which often require high temperatures to decompose organic matter and electrolytes, consuming a lot of energy. High-energy consumption processes not only increase equipment operating costs, but also lead to a decrease in the economic benefits of the entire recycling process. The chemical leaching process requires a large amount of acid and alkali solutions, which react under high temperature conditions, further exacerbating energy consumption. For large-scale industrial recycling, energy consumption is a key challenge that cannot be ignored.
[0005] The risk of environmental pollution is another major drawback of existing technologies. The acid and alkali solutions used in chemical leaching usually contain a large amount of harmful substances. If they are not handled properly, they may have serious impacts on the environment. The treatment cost of heavy metal waste liquid is high, and if it is not treated thoroughly, it will pollute water sources and soil, threatening the ecosystem. The harmful gases produced by combustion in the traditional heat treatment process will also have an adverse effect on air quality if they are not effectively filtered and treated. Although waste gas treatment and waste liquid treatment systems have been introduced in some technologies, it is difficult to completely eliminate pollution due to the complexity of the treatment process itself.
[0006] The complexity of the process is also one of the bottlenecks of the existing technology. From the disassembly, crushing, leaching of waste batteries to the extraction and separation of metals, the entire recycling process requires multiple steps, and each step requires strict parameter control. If there is a fluctuation in process conditions or improper parameter control at any step, it will affect the results of subsequent steps. This multi-step process not only increases the difficulty of operation, but also significantly increases equipment investment and maintenance costs. The high requirements for operators also lead to an increase in human errors in the recycling process, affecting the stability of the process.
[0007] Insufficient resource utilization is another important issue. Existing chemical leaching and precipitation processes are often unable to effectively remove impurities after extracting metal elements, resulting in the recovered metal materials being of low purity and unable to be directly used in high-demand application scenarios. Chemical reagents used in large quantities are often difficult to recycle and reuse, which not only increases costs but also causes waste of resources. In many processes, the extracted metal materials still need to be purified multiple times, increasing the complexity and time cost of the entire recycling process.
[0008] The existing waste lithium-ion battery recycling process still lacks an intelligent control system. Most of the processes rely on fixed parameter settings, and operators manually monitor and adjust based on experience. It is difficult to ensure that the process conditions remain at the optimal state throughout the recycling process. Due to the lack of an intelligent feedback system, it is difficult to dynamically adjust according to real-time changes in process parameters. This not only affects the efficiency of the recycling process, but also easily leads to waste of resources, and it is impossible to maximize the metal recovery rate and resource utilization.
[0009] Therefore, how to provide a method for recycling and reusing the negative electrode materials of waste lithium-ion power batteries is an urgent problem to be solved by those skilled in the art. Summary of the invention

[0184] Embodiment 1:
[0185] In order to verify the feasibility of the present invention in implementation, the present invention is applied to a waste power battery recycling and processing plant, which processes more than 100 tons of waste lithium-ion power batteries per month. These batteries mainly come from scrapped electric vehicle battery packs and battery cells of energy storage equipment. The negative electrode materials in these waste batteries contain a large amount of valuable metal elements such as lithium, nickel, and cobalt, and have high recycling value. Traditional recycling methods have problems such as high energy consumption, high pollution, and low metal recovery rate. Therefore, a more efficient and environmentally friendly recycling method is needed to solve these problems.
[0186] In this scenario, the method for recycling and reusing negative electrode materials of waste lithium-ion batteries proposed in the present invention greatly improves the recovery rate of metal elements, reduces energy consumption, and reduces the risk of environmental pollution through a series of innovative processes.
[0187] The scrapped lithium-ion power battery was initially disassembled, the negative electrode components in the battery were taken out, and the negative electrode materials were deconstructed by selective plasma electrolysis technology. The temperature was controlled at 30°C, the electrolysis time was set to 40 minutes, and the current density was 2A / cm 2 After electrolysis treatment, the organic matter and the electrolyte are separated to obtain untreated negative electrode powder. Compared with traditional high-temperature heat treatment technology, selective plasma electrolysis reduces energy consumption by about 35% and avoids the harmful gases produced by the combustion of organic matter.
[0188] The negative electrode powder is processed using supercritical fluid cooling and crushing technology. During the crushing process, supercritical carbon dioxide is used as the cooling medium, the pressure is controlled at 9MPa, and the temperature is set to 35°C. The particle size range of the crushed negative electrode powder is 10 microns to 50 microns, and the uniformity of the powder is significantly better than that of traditional mechanical crushing methods. In actual applications, the uniformity of powder particle size is improved by 20%, which provides better conditions for subsequent metal extraction processes.
[0189] In the ion exchange stage, the negative electrode powder is treated by multi-frequency resonance-assisted selective ion exchange technology. During the treatment process, 2M sulfuric acid and 0.3M lithium chloride solution are added. The pH value of the solution is controlled at 1.5 and the temperature is maintained at 60°C. By adjusting the vibration frequency and vibration amplitude, metal elements such as lithium, nickel, and cobalt in the negative electrode material are extracted. In the actual operation of the factory, the metal extraction efficiency is significantly improved. The extraction rate of lithium is 96.5%, the extraction rate of nickel reaches 94%, and the extraction rate of cobalt is 92%. Compared with the traditional chemical leaching process, this result increases the extraction efficiency by about 10%.
[0190] The extracted metal solution is further purified by superconducting magnetic separation technology. The magnetic field strength is controlled at 2.5 Tesla. By precisely adjusting the magnetic field gradient, the magnetic and weakly magnetic metals in the solution are effectively separated. The purity of magnetic metals such as nickel reaches 99.2% after separation, and the purity of weakly magnetic metal lithium reaches 98.8%. Compared with the traditional chemical precipitation method, the magnetic separation process has improved the purification efficiency by 15%. After treatment with nano-aerosol separation technology, fine impurities with particle sizes between 10 nanometers and 100 nanometers in the solution are removed. During the separation process, the flow pressure of the equipment is set to 500Pa, and the stability of the solution is effectively controlled. After this step of treatment, the purity of the final metal solution reaches more than 99.5%, and the metal extraction and separation process achieves high accuracy and efficiency.
[0191] During the precipitation process, the metal solution enters the intelligent adaptive phase change precipitation equipment. The equipment dynamically adjusts the precipitation conditions by real-time monitoring of the temperature and pH value in the solution. Under the action of the monitoring system, the temperature of the precipitation reaction is maintained at 80°C and the pH value is maintained at around 2. After 4 hours of precipitation reaction, lithium, nickel and cobalt metal compounds are generated. The purity of the metal compounds reaches 99.9%, meeting the requirements for high-purity metal recycling. Compared with traditional precipitation methods, the reaction efficiency of the intelligent adaptive phase change precipitation technology is increased by 20%, and human operation errors are reduced by automatically adjusting parameters.
[0192] The metal compounds were reduced using biocatalytic deposition technology. A specific biocatalyst was added to the solution, the concentration was set to 5 mg / L, and the reaction time was 6 hours. After the biocatalytic deposition process, lithium, nickel, and cobalt metal compounds were reduced to reusable metal materials. Compared with traditional chemical deposition methods, biocatalytic deposition not only reduced energy consumption by about 25%, but also significantly improved the purity and recycling performance of the generated metal materials.
[0193] During the entire recycling process, a closed-loop intelligent feedback system is used to monitor and optimize various process parameters in real time. Through the feedback system, the process parameters can be automatically adjusted according to real-time data such as temperature, pressure, and metal concentration to ensure the efficiency and stability of the recycling process. In actual operation, the data of the recycling plant shows that after adopting closed-loop feedback control, the metal recovery rate has increased by about 12%, and the resource utilization rate has reached more than 95%. At the same time, the entire process has achieved harmless treatment.

[0197] Through the multiple innovative technical steps in the present invention, the recycling efficiency of waste lithium-ion battery negative electrode materials has been significantly improved. The process first uses selective plasma electrolysis technology to perform electrolysis at a relatively low temperature, effectively reducing energy consumption. Compared with traditional high-temperature heat treatment, energy consumption is reduced by 35%. At the same time, the electrolysis time is 40 minutes and the current density is 2A / cm 2 , supercritical fluid cooling pulverization technology plays a key role in the entire recycling process. By refining the negative electrode powder to a uniform particle size of 10-50 microns, the particle size uniformity is improved by 20%, and the multi-frequency resonance-assisted ion exchange technology shows extremely high efficiency in extracting metal elements such as lithium, nickel, and cobalt. By precisely controlling the vibration frequency and amplitude, the extraction rate of lithium reached 96.5%, the extraction rate of nickel reached 94%, and the extraction rate of cobalt reached 92%. In the purification stage of the metal solution, superconducting magnetic separation technology played a vital role. By controlling the magnetic field strength to 2.5 Tesla, the separation of nickel and lithium metals was successfully achieved, with a nickel purity of 99.2% and a lithium purity of 98.8%. This technology improves the accuracy and efficiency of metal purification, and is 15% more efficient than the traditional chemical precipitation method. Subsequently, the nano-aerosol separation technology is used to remove fine impurities with a particle size of 10-100 nanometers, so that the purity of the metal solution reaches more than 99.5%. In the intelligent adaptive phase change precipitation technology, an intelligent feedback control system is used to monitor the temperature and pH value in real time, and the precipitation conditions are automatically adjusted according to the system feedback. After 4 hours of precipitation reaction, the purity of the metal compound reaches 99.9%, and the reaction efficiency is 20% higher than that of the traditional method. The application of biocatalytic deposition technology achieves efficient reduction of metal compounds within 6 hours through 5mg / L biocatalyst, and energy consumption is reduced by 25%. The entire recovery process uses a closed-loop intelligent feedback system to monitor and automatically adjust various process parameters in real time. The system optimizes according to the real-time changes of parameters such as temperature, pressure, and metal concentration, which increases the metal recovery rate by 12% and the resource utilization rate by 95%.
[0198] In summary, the present invention realizes the efficient recovery and reuse of valuable metal elements in the negative electrode materials of waste lithium-ion batteries through a series of innovative technical means, and has high resource utilization, environmental protection and economy.
