Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of new energy resource recycling, and particularly relates to a recycling method for valuable metals nickel, cobalt and manganese in an NCMA precursor solid waste. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the continuous improvement of battery performance requirements, nickel-cobalt-manganese ternary positive electrode materials are continuously developing towards high nickelization. Many studies have shown that Al 3+ In high-nickel ternary positive electrode materials, Al can stabilize the layered structure and alleviate the irreversible phase transition of the structure, thereby improving the cycle performance of the positive electrode material. The preparation of aluminum-doped or coated NCMA precursor by coprecipitation has the advantages of uniform element distribution and cost savings. However, in the development and production process of the precursor, it is inevitable that the precursor solid waste needs to be treated, and the solid waste contains a large amount of valuable metals nickel, cobalt and manganese, but due to its high aluminum content, it cannot be directly used for the production of ternary precursors after leaching.

[0003] Currently, the main treatment method in the industry is to leach the NCMA solid waste with acid, then add a precipitating agent to adjust the pH to an appropriate range, and then precipitate the aluminum in the form of aluminum hydroxide after solid-liquid separation to obtain the aluminum-removed liquid. For example, CN 116179872A discloses a method for recovering nickel and cobalt solution from waste nickel-cobalt-aluminum ternary precursor. The method first dissolves the acid and nickel-cobalt-aluminum solid waste in a reaction kettle, continues to react for 1-3 hours after adding a reducing agent, adjusts the pH to 4-5, and then adds a filter aid and heats for 1-3 hours before performing solid-liquid separation to obtain a nickel-cobalt solution. This method requires a precipitating agent to remove aluminum, has many operation steps, and is prone to increase the sodium content, making it difficult to further process or apply. In addition, the precipitation process takes a long time and has low efficiency, and the method does not involve a one-step method for recovering nickel, cobalt and manganese solution. CN 115821048A discloses a method for recovering nickel and cobalt from NC / NCA precursor waste. The method includes leaching, P204 leaching resin impurity removal, special resin oil removal, resin column fluorine and silicon removal, and filtration of NCA solid waste to obtain a nickel-cobalt salt solution. This method involves many processes, and has higher time and economic costs. Based on the limitations of the prior art, the present application proposes a method for recovering nickel, cobalt and manganese salt solution from aluminum-doped / coated NCMA solid waste without using a precipitating agent in a one-step method, to further reduce the complexity of the operation steps and the high processing cost, and to be more suitable for industrial large-scale production.
