Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of solid waste resource utilization, and in particular to a method for collaboratively recovering valuable elements from waste ternary lithium battery black powder and failed automobile catalysts. Background Art

[0002] Failed ternary lithium batteries contain abundant valuable metal elements such as lithium, nickel, cobalt, and manganese. The potential resources are huge and the economic value of recycling is high. The mainstream recycling process of spent automotive catalyst materials is to burn organic matter and graphite at high temperature and recover valuable metals in the form of alloys. This method is simple and easy to operate, but it causes serious air pollution and huge energy consumption. Wet extraction emits Cl 2 、SO 2 and NO X , low leaching rate and other problems.

[0003] Automotive catalysts are known as mobile platinum group metal mines. my country's primary mineral resources of platinum group metals account for only 0.12% of the world's reserves. The overall external dependence is high, and the supply and demand are seriously unbalanced. Therefore, the recycling of PGMs is an important guarantee for domestic supply. There are three main methods for recycling waste automotive catalysts: metal capture method, chlorination volatilization method, and synergistic capture method. The metal capture method is the mainstream process, which uses base metals such as iron, copper, and bismuth as a single capture agent to capture PGMs in smelting slag at high temperature. After smelting is completed, the metal alloy is first obtained, and then the high-purity precious metal is obtained through refining.

[0004] At present, there are many studies on the recovery of valuable elements in ternary lithium battery black powder materials and the recovery of platinum group metals in waste catalysts, but they are all separately recovered for lithium, nickel cobalt manganese, platinum group metals and other components, such as: CN111690812A, CN110527846B, CN110527835B, CN111321298A, CN108559846B, CN114921653A, CN118547165A, CN118563117A, CN117904437A, CN117721319A. The core of the above patents is to optimize the technology and methods for obtaining a certain purity of recyclables, without involving collaborative recovery, and without considering energy consumption and the emission of pollutants in the recovery process. Therefore, it is of great significance to study a method for the collaborative recovery of valuable elements from waste ternary lithium battery black powder and failed automobile catalysts.

During the smelting process, lithium oxide dust is recovered from the flue gas. The lithium oxide content is 89.7% and the lithium recovery rate is 93.1%. After the smelting, PGMs-nickel cobalt manganese alloy and smelting slag are obtained. The smelting slag is cooled and crushed, and magnetic separation is performed in a 0.25T magnetic field.

[0082] According to V O / V A =1:3 The mixed solution was subjected to three-stage extraction with S201. During the extraction process, the mixture was stirred for 4 minutes and then allowed to stand for 16 minutes. After the three-stage extraction, the two phases were separated to obtain a palladium-containing organic phase and a first raffinate. O / V A=1 Add thiourea solution (mass concentration is 5%) to the palladium-containing organic phase for three-stage stripping. During the stripping process, stir for 4 minutes and then stand for 14 minutes. After three-stage stripping, a palladium-containing aqueous solution is obtained. The palladium content in the palladium-containing aqueous solution is adjusted to 47 g / L. Ammonium chloride (the amount of ammonium chloride added is 100 g / L) is added and allowed to stand for 45 minutes to obtain a palladium precipitate.

[0083] According to V O / V A =1:3 The first raffinate and TBP were mixed for three-stage extraction. During the extraction process, the mixture was stirred for 4 minutes and then allowed to stand for 16 minutes. After the three-stage extraction, the two phases were separated to obtain a platinum-containing organic phase and a second raffinate. According to V O / V A =1 Sodium hydroxide solution (mass concentration 10%) was added to the platinum-containing organic phase for three-stage stripping. During the stripping process, the solution was stirred for 4 minutes and then allowed to stand for 14 minutes. A platinum-containing aqueous solution was obtained through three-stage stripping. The platinum content in the platinum-containing aqueous solution was adjusted to 47 g / L. Ammonium chloride (the amount of ammonium chloride added was 100 g / L) was added and allowed to stand for 45 minutes to obtain a platinum precipitate.

[0084] Ammonium chloride (the amount of ammonium chloride added is 100 g / L) is added to the second raffinate to obtain rhodium precipitate and rhodium precipitate raffinate; the pH value of the rhodium precipitate raffinate is adjusted to 6 with sodium hydroxide solution, and sodium carbonate (the amount of sodium carbonate added is based on Ni 2+ and CO 3 2- The molar ratio of the nickel precipitate is 1:1.1, and nickel carbonate and a residual solution of nickel precipitation are obtained; the pH value of the residual solution of nickel precipitation is adjusted to 7 with a sodium hydroxide solution, and sodium carbonate is added (the amount of sodium carbonate added is based on Co 2+ and CO 3 2- The molar ratio of Mn is 1:1.1, and cobalt carbonate and cobalt precipitation residual solution are obtained; the pH value of the cobalt precipitation residual solution is adjusted to 9.2 with sodium hydroxide solution, and sodium carbonate is added (the amount of sodium carbonate added is based on Mn 2+ and CO 3 2- The molar ratio is 1:1.5 to obtain manganese carbonate and tail liquid.

[0085] The palladium precipitate, platinum precipitate and rhodium precipitate were calcined at 650° C. for 2 h in a hydrogen atmosphere to obtain palladium, platinum and rhodium. The purity of palladium, platinum and rhodium was 99.91%, the comprehensive recovery rate of palladium, platinum and rhodium was 98%, the recovery rate of nickel was 96.2%, the recovery rate of cobalt was 98.0%, and the recovery rate of manganese was 93.1%.
