Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of battery recycling, and in particular relates to an acid dissolution purification process for wet comprehensive recycling. Background Art
[0002] Waste lithium-ion batteries contain high-value chemicals such as carbonate organic solvents, lithium hexafluorophosphate, and metallic copper, cobalt, nickel, manganese, and lithium. Li, Co, and Ni are primarily used in cathode materials, accounting for 2-12%, 5-30%, and 0-10%, respectively. Cu and Al are primarily used in current collectors, accounting for 7-17% and 3-10%, respectively. Fe is used in the outer casing, accounting for approximately 0-25%. These batteries contain a variety of valuable, recyclable precious metals. The rational recycling of waste lithium batteries can help address resource scarcity.
[0003] Currently, there are numerous recycling technologies for used lithium-ion batteries, primarily focusing on pretreatment and recycling. Pretreatment, the pre-processing stage of lithium-ion batteries, primarily involves simple separation and material enrichment. Precious metals in used lithium-ion batteries are concentrated in the positive electrode. Therefore, recycling and utilization of used lithium-ion batteries primarily focuses on the positive electrode materials, which are also the core of resource recovery for used lithium-ion batteries. Key methods include bioleaching, solvent extraction, chemical precipitation, acid leaching, and electrochemical treatment. Currently, the most commonly used method is acid leaching, which extracts metals such as lithium, nickel, cobalt, and manganese from the battery's positive electrode materials as low-valent ions through an acid leaching reaction. Extraction, precipitation, and electrochemical methods are then used to further separate and purify the metal elements in the acid leaching solution. The current acid leaching process is lengthy and suffers from inadequate metal dissolution, resulting in low precious metal recovery rates and hindering the sustainable development of the industry.

The acid solution is passed through the inside of the tower until the liquid level is flush with the top of the overflow weir plate, and the slurry and the acid solution are evenly mixed. Then, the mixed solution is heated to 70-90°C; S203. The motor drives the drive shaft to reverse, so that the liquid inside the tower body forms a reverse circulation. Then, SO2 is added to the middle of the guide tube through the rotary joint and the drive shaft. The SO2 and liquid flow out from the bottom of the guide tube through the circulation and then flow upward from the outside of the guide tube. SO2 is introduced at a rate of 0.1-0.5 L / min. The treatment is carried out for 3-5 hours to dissolve the lithium battery ternary material. Some insoluble impurities float on the top of the overflow weir plate driven by the SO2 gas and are scraped into the overflow box by the scraper assembly; S204, the dissolution liquid is discharged from the discharge port at the bottom of the dissolution purification tower and filtered through a filter, and the insoluble impurities in the overflow box are discharged through the slag discharge port.
8. The acid dissolution purification process for wet comprehensive recovery according to claim 1, characterized in that: In step S3 and step S4, the Na2S solution, NaClO3 solution and NaOH solution are all added to the outside of the guide tube through the dosing tube, and are evenly mixed with the dissolution solution through the circular flow formed by the rotation of the guide component.
