[0020] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0021] 1. The motor uses the rotating shaft to drive the inner cylinder for centrifugal mixing, which can mix and stir the lithium iron phosphate mixed solution, thereby effectively accelerating the reaction and mixing between the waste lithium iron phosphate battery powder and the carbonic acid and hydrogen peroxide, which is beneficial to practical use. At the same time, the electric heating rod at the bottom of the rotating shaft can further accelerate the mixing of the materials.

[0022] 2. After the first centrifugal sedimentation, people can open the solenoid valve to guide the remaining mixed solution out of the inner cylinder and into the kettle.

Then, the valve on the discharge pipe is opened to discharge the remaining iron phosphate in the inner cylinder, and the iron phosphate is collected through the collection bucket, so that the effective part of the discarded lithium iron phosphate battery can be fully utilized.
[0023] 3. After the mixed solution enters the kettle body, people can start the hot air source to introduce hot air into the heating tube through the air inlet, heat and concentrate the remaining mixed solution, purify and concentrate the remaining mixed solution, and then open the valve body on the second liquid outlet to guide the purified mixed solution out. The mixed solution can be filtered and impurities can be removed by a filter pump, so that impurities in the mixed solution can be removed to obtain a pure lithium-containing solution, which is beneficial to the recovery work of subsequent processes. The pure lithium-containing solution after filtration will be guided back to the inner cylinder through the through pipe to realize circulating centrifugation and complete the dual use of one cylinder, thereby making full use of lithium, reducing equipment investment, and facilitating industrial production.
[0024] 4. When the filtered pure lithium-containing solution returns to the inner cylinder, sodium carbonate is added to the inner cylinder, the motor is started again, the inner cylinder is centrifugally mixed, and the heating rod at the bottom is started. After mixing and heating, the lithium-containing solution will react with sodium carbonate to produce lithium carbonate, thereby completing the recycling of the remaining lithium elements in the discarded lithium iron phosphate battery, which can effectively improve the recycling rate of waste batteries.
[0025] 5. During recycling, people can open the solenoid valve to drain the remaining solution, leaving the lithium carbonate in the inner cylinder and discharging it through the discharge pipe. After that, the remaining solution from the previous cycle of the kettle can be extracted through the pump body, and led back to the inner cylinder through the liquid pipe, the liquid outlet and the reflux pipe. At the same time, people can repeat the centrifugal acid precipitation steps and circulate it again. Through reciprocating circulation, the utilization rate of various materials and waste gas lithium iron phosphate batteries can be maximized to avoid waste, while reducing the pollution of battery waste, which is conducive to practical use.
