Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of hydrometallurgical technology, and in particular to a method, apparatus, equipment and storage medium for accounting and tracing recycled materials based on RMS. Background Technology

[0002] The recycling of waste batteries involves first disassembling the batteries into modules and individual cells, then crushing and screening them to obtain black powder. Then, hydrometallurgical processes are used to leach the black powder to remove impurities and extract it to obtain a qualified extraction solution. The qualified extraction solution is then alkalized and precipitated to obtain a precursor. Finally, the precursor is mixed with lithium salt, calcined, and demagnetized to obtain recycled cathode material.

[0003] Under the influence of the Battery Law, requirements for battery passports, the proportion of recycled materials, and carbon footprint have all been standardized. Currently, the production of recycled cathode materials mostly adopts systematic management for traceability, while the wet processing and pretreatment stages mostly rely on manual ledgers. However, there is no clear accounting method for recycled materials. How to scientifically calculate the proportion of recycled materials in battery materials has become a critical technical issue that needs to be addressed for lithium battery exports, one of the "new three essentials." Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of the prior art by proposing a method, apparatus, equipment, and storage medium for the accounting and traceability of recycled materials based on RMS. This invention can fill the technological gap in the recycling industry chain where the proportion of recycled materials cannot be traced, enabling accurate traceability of the proportion of recycled materials and improving the efficiency of recycling supervision.

[0005] In a first aspect, the present invention provides a method for accounting and tracing recycled materials based on RMS, including:

[0014] This invention employs a process of recycling and regenerating cathode materials from waste batteries, collecting process parameters, and using the nonlinear relationship of these parameters to accurately trace the proportion of recycled materials, thereby improving recycling supervision efficiency.

[0018] In conjunction with the first aspect, in one possible implementation, in addition to obtaining the recycled material ratio of the element based on the nonlinear relationship between the first mass, the first proportion, the external purchase rate, the second proportion, and the third proportion and the second mass, the method further includes: obtaining the third recycled material ratio of the element among the recycled material types in the mixed precursor based on the source of the recycled material in the waste battery and process material, and obtaining the fourth recycled material ratio of the element among the recycled material types based on the third recycled material ratio;

[0019] Preferably, the proportion of the third recycled material can be expressed as:

Bij It is the sixth proportion of element i in recycled material type j in self-produced black powder, x i R is the external purchase rate of element i in the mixed precursor. wij It represents the seventh percentage of element i in recycled material type j among purchased precursors.

[0022] In conjunction with the first aspect, in one possible implementation, the proportion of the fourth recycled material can be expressed as:

[0023]

[0026] The recycled material is coded and traced according to the operations before the leaching process based on the RMS process, traced according to the time period of the leaching process, and traced according to the batch after the leaching process.

[0027] This invention employs a BTB traceability method based on barcode traceability, time period traceability, and batch traceability. It can trace the recycled material percentage after extracting it from RMS and then use different traceability methods to trace the recycled material in stages, filling the technical gap in recycled material traceability and accurately tracing the recycled material percentage, thereby improving the efficiency of recycling supervision.

[0046] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0047] It is worth noting that existing technologies do not trace the proportion of recycled materials in waste batteries. Furthermore, tracing the proportion of recycled materials in waste batteries becomes even more complex when purchased metal salts and crude salts are added. Therefore, this invention provides a method, apparatus, equipment, and storage medium for calculating and tracing recycled materials based on RMS (Recycled Material Management System). This method primarily uses process parameters collected from the production line that recycles cathode materials from waste batteries. Based on the non-linear relationship between process parameters and the proportion of recycled materials, it accurately calculates the proportion of recycled elements in waste batteries, thereby filling the technological gap in the recycling industry chain where the proportion of recycled materials cannot be traced. This allows for precise traceability of the proportion of recycled materials, improving the efficiency of recycling supervision. To better illustrate the technical solution of this invention, specific examples will be provided below.

[0048] Example 1

[0049] See Figure 1 This is a flowchart illustrating an RMS-based method for accounting and tracing recycled materials, provided in an embodiment of this application. The flowchart includes steps S11 to S12, specifically:

[0050] Step S11: Recycle the recycled cathode material from the waste battery and collect the process parameters on the recycled cathode material production line; wherein, the process parameters include: the first mass of the elements of the waste battery in the mixed precursor, the second mass in the recycled cathode material, the first proportion of recycled material in the purchased precursor, the external purchase rate in the precursor, the second proportion of recycled material in the purchased crude salt, and the third proportion of purchased metal salt used in the production of the precursor.

[0051] It is worth noting that the first mass is the mass of elements from waste batteries in the mixed precursor; the second mass is the mass of elements from waste batteries in the recycled cathode material; the first percentage is the percentage of elements from waste batteries in the recycled material in the purchased precursor; the second percentage is the percentage of elements from waste batteries in the recycled material in the purchased coarse salt; and the third percentage is the percentage of elements from waste batteries in the use of purchased metal salts when producing the precursor.

[0052] In some embodiments of this application, after recovering the recycled cathode material from the waste battery, the method further includes: tracing the recycled material based on BTB; wherein, the staged tracing of the recycled material based on BTB includes: encoding the recycled material for tracing according to the operations before the leaching process based on the RMS process, tracing the recycled material for tracing according to the leaching process using time periods, and tracing the recycled material for tracing according to the leaching process after the leaching process using batches.

[0053] This invention employs a BTB traceability method based on barcode traceability, time period traceability, and batch traceability. It can trace the recycled material percentage after extracting it from RMS and then use different traceability methods to trace the recycled material in stages, filling the technical gap in recycled material traceability and accurately tracing the recycled material percentage, thereby improving the efficiency of recycling supervision.

[0054] In some embodiments of this application, the recovery of recycled cathode materials from waste batteries includes: extracting leachate from the waste batteries; adding purchased metal salts when extracting precursors from the leachate; adding purchased crude salts when extracting lithium salts from the leachate; mixing the extracted precursors and lithium salts with purchased precursors and purchased refined salts to obtain a mixture; and recovering recycled cathode materials from the mixture.

[0055] In some embodiments of this application, when extracting the precursor from the leachate, a purchased metal salt is added, including: extracting the leachate, adding the qualified extract to the ingredients to prepare a formulation solution, adding the purchased metal salt to the formulation solution to react, and extracting the precursor.

[0056] In some embodiments of this application, the purchased metal salt is at least one of purchased nickel salt, purchased cobalt salt, purchased manganese salt, purchased iron salt, and purchased phosphate salt.

[0057] In some embodiments of this application, the process of recycling and regenerating cathode materials is described in [reference needed]. Figure 2 This is a process flow diagram of the RMS-based recycling material accounting and traceability method provided in this application embodiment. In the diagram, based on the Recovered Material Standard (RMS), cathode materials are recycled from waste batteries and process materials. Specifically, first, the modules of waste batteries are obtained, then the modules are disassembled to obtain individual battery cells. This process is before the leaching process, and coded traceability is used to trace the recycled materials. The battery cells and process materials are discharged, pyrolyzed, and crushed to screen out battery black powder. The battery black powder is then oxidized and leached to extract the leachate.

[0058] exist Figure 2 In this process, during the extraction of precursors from the leaching solution, the qualified extract is added to the batching solution to prepare a batching solution. Purchased nickel-cobalt salts are added to the batching solution to react and obtain the precursors. During this leaching process, the recycled material is traced over time. The extracted lithium salts and precursors are mixed, and purchased refined salts and other purchased precursors are added to obtain a mixture. Based on the reaction of this mixture, an NCM ternary recycled cathode material composed of nickel (Ni), cobalt (Co), manganese (Mn), and lithium (Li) is prepared. The recycled material is batch-traceable based on the mixture.

[0059] exist Figure 2 In this process, lithium salt and precursor can be extracted separately from the leachate. When extracting lithium salt from the leachate, the leachate is extracted to obtain a raffinate; the raffinate is then subjected to a causticizing reaction to generate a causticizing solution; and commercially available crude salt is added to the causticizing solution to fully extract the lithium salt from it.

[0060] It is worth noting that purchased lithium salts include both refined and crude salts. Crude salt is added during lithium extraction, while refined salt is added during calcination. Figure 2 The purchased metal salts in the product include purchased nickel-cobalt salts.

[0061] It is worth noting that during the extraction of lithium salt and NCM regenerated cathode material from the causticizing solution and the mixture, respectively, the degraded lithium compounds are directly repaired using purchased lithium salt to restore their electrochemical performance. The restored compounds can then be reused as recycled materials. Similarly, purchased nickel-cobalt salt is added to the feed solution, and purchased precursors are added to the mixture. After producing regenerated cathode material based on RMS, the proportion of recycled materials for each element in the waste batteries can be traced from the regenerated cathode material. This includes recycled materials from the waste batteries, as well as recycled materials from purchased lithium salt, purchased nickel-cobalt salt, and purchased precursors. This allows for precise traceability of the entire RMS-based process and the proportion of recycled materials for each element.

[0062] In some embodiments of this application, the following are employed: Figure 2 The process of RMS recycles and regenerates NCM ternary regenerated cathode materials, or adopts... Figure 2 The process of RMS recycles and regenerates NCA ternary recycled cathode materials composed of nickel, cobalt, aluminum (Al) and lithium to obtain the proportion of recycled materials in NCM ternary recycled cathode materials or NCA ternary recycled cathode materials.

Therefore, it can be universally applied to extracting regenerated cathode materials from waste batteries, exhibiting high applicability and practicality.

[0169] In some embodiments of this application, element i is any one of nickel, cobalt, manganese, iron, lithium, and phosphorus.
