Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of clean metallurgical production technology, specifically a method for preparing manganese tetroxide-doped precursors and lithium manganese oxide from manganese-containing waste slag. Background Technology

[0002] In the hydrometallurgical production of electrolytic manganese, manganese dioxide, and manganese sulfate, a large amount of manganese sulfide slag (manganese-containing waste slag) containing manganese, cobalt, and nickel is generated. The main components of this waste slag are sulfides such as MnS, NiS, and CoS, with a manganese content of approximately 10%–15%, nickel 0.5%–1.0%, and cobalt 1.0%–1.8%, along with small amounts of calcium, magnesium, and iron. The cobalt and nickel content in the slag is higher than that in common cobalt and nickel minerals, and the slag volume is large. Since no effective treatment method has yet been found, this slag is currently mainly stored in slag storage facilities. As of March 2022, the cumulative stockpile of manganese sulfide slag in my country exceeded 100 million tons, with an additional 10 million tons added annually. Effective and feasible resource-based value-added treatment solutions are urgently needed to address this waste slag.

[0003] Currently, the main manganese sources for preparing lithium manganese oxide (LiMn2O4) include manganese dioxide, manganese tetroxide, manganese sulfate, manganese acetate, and manganese carbonate. When using manganese dioxide as a manganese source to prepare spinel-type lithium manganese oxide, its application is limited due to high impurity content and unstable morphology. The manganese carbonate method for preparing lithium manganese oxide is currently limited to laboratory research and is difficult to industrialize due to high energy consumption and cost. Furthermore, high-temperature solid-state synthesis inevitably leads to material sintering, making it difficult to achieve the required physical properties of the prepared lithium manganese oxide (LiMn2O4). In contrast, manganese tetroxide has advantages such as stable quality, good process repeatability, and high tap density. Moreover, lithium manganese oxide (LiMn2O4) prepared using manganese tetroxide as a precursor exhibits excellent electrochemical performance and can effectively alleviate the decay of battery charge-discharge specific capacity, making it very suitable for preparing spinel-type lithium manganese oxide.

[0004] We have found the following patents related to the preparation of manganese tetroxide doped from waste residue: 1. Application No.: 202211403289.2, Invention Title: A Method for Preparing High-Bulk-Sounding Cation- and Anion-Doped Manganese Tetraoxide Precursor Materials. This invention mixes manganese chloride monohydrate, EDTA-2Na, and aluminum chloride hexahydrate, and uses a step-by-step feed flow based on particle size, employing a cyclic concentration method to prepare 8μm doped aluminum-manganese tetraoxide particles using 4μm manganese tetraoxide particles as the core. Alternatively, manganese chloride monohydrate and EDTA-2Na are mixed, and sodium fluoride is mixed with liquid alkali, and the feed flow is also stepped-by-step based on particle size, employing a cyclic concentration method to prepare 10μm doped aluminum- and fluorine-doped manganese tetraoxide particles. The prepared doped aluminum- and fluorine-doped manganese tetraoxide particles are dried in an oven and sieved to prepare the desired doped aluminum- and fluorine-doped manganese tetraoxide precursor materials. The high-voltage lithium manganese oxide prepared with doped aluminum- and fluorine-doped manganese tetraoxide exhibits improved initial discharge capacity, good charge-discharge cycle performance, and high-temperature performance. However, this invention does not actually measure the charge-discharge specific capacity and capacity retention rate of the lithium manganese oxide cathode material.

[0005] 2. Application No.: 202110872485.3, Invention Title: A Method for Preparing Modified Manganese Tetraoxide, its Products, and Applications. This invention provides a method for preparing modified manganese tetraoxide by doping a soluble salt solution of aluminum with a soluble salt solution of manganese, i.e., modifying manganese tetraoxide by doping with Al, so that Al and Mn elements in the system precipitate uniformly. Then, a mixture of ammonia and oxygen is introduced below the liquid surface of the system to carry out a gas-liquid phase contact reaction. The mixed gas reacts uniformly with the soluble salt of manganese, the reaction is slow and controllable, and the gas and liquid are in full contact, reducing the phenomenon of uneven diffusion of manganese ions. This allows manganese to be rapidly oxidized to manganese tetraoxide after forming manganese hydroxide precipitate, reducing the adsorption of impurities, especially greatly reducing the formation of basic manganese sulfate. The resulting manganese tetraoxide has low impurity content, complete crystal structure, and high crystallinity. This solves the problems of excessive impurity content and imperfect crystal structure in the currently prepared manganese tetroxide, but the invention does not improve the charge-discharge specific capacity and capacity retention of lithium manganese oxide cathode material.

[0006] 3. Application No.: 202311016514.1, Invention Title: A bulk-doped and surface-coated manganese tetroxide material. This invention utilizes the different precipitation sequences of hydroxides of different elements in solution to achieve bulk doping and surface coating in one step during the precursor preparation stage of the co-precipitation method, improving doping uniformity and coating stability. Furthermore, through the combined effect of doping and coating, it effectively solves the problems of capacity decay and interfacial side reactions in lithium manganese oxide. Lithium-ion batteries using lithium manganese oxide cathode materials prepared with this bulk-doped and surface-coated manganese tetroxide material exhibit excellent cycle performance, good rate performance, and high specific capacity. However, the capacity retention rate of the lithium manganese oxide cathode material of this invention still needs improvement.

[0007] 4. Application No.: 201210345734.4, Invention Title: Preparation Method of Ni and Al Co-doped Manganese Tetraoxide and the Doped Manganese Tetraoxide, provides a preparation method of Ni and Al co-doped Manganese Tetraoxide and the doped Manganese Tetraoxide. The method includes the following steps: (1) mixing soluble nickel salt and soluble aluminum salt according to the Ni / Al molar ratio = (1.0 / 2.0) ± 0.01 to prepare a nickel-aluminum mixed solution; (2) passing ammonia gas into the soluble manganese salt solution to control the pH of the soluble manganese salt solution within the range of 7.0 to 7.5; (3) mixing the soluble manganese salt solution and the nickel-aluminum mixed solution according to the (Ni+Al) / Mn3O4 molar ratio of 3%, and then spraying it into the air to carry out a gas-liquid oxidation reaction; and (4) adding ammonia gas to the solution after the gas-liquid oxidation reaction in step (3) to adjust the pH to the range of 7.0 to 7.5, and then repeating the process of spraying the reaction solution - adding ammonia gas to adjust the pH - spraying the reaction solution until the [Mn3O4] in the reaction solution is in the range of 7.0 to 7.5. 2+ The reaction was stopped when the concentration of Ni and Al co-doped Mn3O4 was ≤500 ppm. The resulting product had controllable particle size, narrow particle size distribution, less ultrafine powder, and low impurity content. However, this invention did not improve the charge-discharge specific capacity and capacity retention of the lithium manganese oxide cathode material. Summary of the Invention

[0008] The purpose of this invention is to solve the above-mentioned technical problems and provide a simple and feasible method for preparing doped manganese tetroxide precursors and lithium manganese oxide from manganese-containing waste residue, which can improve the cycle performance of lithium manganese oxide electrode materials.

(3) Adjusting the ratio: Add cobalt salt, nickel salt and iron salt to the filtrate respectively, and adjust the filtrate to the set manganese-cobalt-nickel-iron molar ratio to obtain a manganese-cobalt-nickel-iron solution; (4) Modification coprecipitation: Add ammonia-ammonium chloride buffer solution to the reaction vessel, heat, then add the modifier, stir to dissolve, slowly add manganese cobalt nickel iron solution and sodium hydroxide solution, and at the same time bleed oxygen into the solution to carry out precipitation reaction. After the manganese cobalt nickel iron solution is added, keep warm for a period of time, then stop bleed oxygen, and then age and separate and dry to obtain manganese tetroxide precipitate after one doping. In this step, the manganese in manganese sulfate is first alkalized to obtain Mn2(OH)2SO4. Part of Mn2(OH)2SO4 is oxidized to obtain Mn3O4, and the other part is further alkalized to obtain Mn(OH)2. Finally, all of Mn(OH)2 is oxidized to obtain Mn3O4.

[0019] As a further technical solution, the magnesium fluoride and the primary doped manganese tetroxide precipitate mentioned above are in the following molar ratio of manganese, cobalt, nickel, iron, magnesium and fluorine: (1.90~1.95):(0.01~0.04):(0.01~0.04):(0.01~0.04):(0.01~0.02):(0.01~0.02).

[0020] As a further technical solution, the ball milling speed is 300-500 r / min, and the ball milling time is 3-6 h.

[0021] A method for preparing lithium manganese oxide involves mixing lithium carbonate and a doped manganese tetroxide precursor as described above, followed by ball milling and high-temperature calcination to obtain a lithium manganese oxide cathode material.

Co doping improves the electronic conductivity of the electrode, enhancing its rate performance. Ni doping increases the capacity of the cathode material. F increases the specific capacity, achieving a relatively ideal doped manganese tetroxide precursor. The bulk-phase doped manganese tetroxide precursor obtained according to the molar ratio of manganese, cobalt, nickel, iron, magnesium, and fluorine of this invention is used to manufacture spinel lithium manganese oxide cathode materials, effectively improving the cycle performance of the lithium manganese oxide cathode material. The capacity retention rate reaches over 98.9% after 50 cycles and over 98.0% after 100 cycles.

[0025] 3. In this invention, a surfactant is used to adjust the microstructure of manganese tetroxide during doping and coprecipitation, so that manganese tetroxide maintains a spinel structure. Therefore, when using manganese tetroxide to prepare lithium manganese oxide materials, there will be no drastic structural changes, doping and surface modification, so that the prepared lithium manganese oxide has better electrochemical performance.
