Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of hydrometallurgy, and particularly relates to an MHP coprecipitation method based on ternary precursor proportioning. BACKGROUND

[0002] Nickel-cobalt-manganese ternary positive electrode material, commonly referred to as lithium nickel cobalt manganese oxide, has a chemical formula of Li(Ni x Co y Mn (1-x-y) )O2, and is a key electrode material in lithium-ion batteries, widely used in electric vehicles, mobile devices, energy storage systems and other fields, especially in power cylindrical lithium-ion batteries. Nickel-cobalt-manganese lithium is widely used due to its high energy density and good performance. Currently, common nickel-cobalt-manganese ternary positive electrode materials (NCM for short) include NCM523, NCM622 and NCM811, and the numbers represent the molar ratio of nickel, cobalt and manganese.

[0003] Nickel-cobalt-manganese ternary positive electrode material is mainly prepared by high-temperature sintering of nickel-cobalt-manganese ternary precursor and lithium salt, so the performance of nickel-cobalt-manganese ternary precursor largely determines the performance of nickel-cobalt-manganese ternary positive electrode material synthesized therefrom. Nickel-cobalt-manganese ternary precursor, commonly referred to as nickel-cobalt-manganese hydroxide, has a chemical formula of (Ni x Co y Mn (1-x-y) (OH)2, and is a key intermediate product for preparing nickel-cobalt-manganese ternary positive electrode material. With the rapid development of new energy vehicles and energy storage and other fields, the market demand for high-performance lithium-ion batteries is increasing, which has driven the development of the nickel-cobalt-manganese ternary precursor market and intensified the market demand for nickel, cobalt and manganese, the raw materials for synthesizing nickel-cobalt-manganese ternary precursor.

[0004] Currently, laterite nickel ore is one of the important sources of nickel, containing a certain amount of cobalt and manganese, and plays a key role in the production process of nickel-cobalt-manganese ternary precursor. Its rich reserves and mineability provide stable raw material supply for the development of the nickel-cobalt-manganese ternary precursor industry. In the existing process, the laterite nickel ore hydrometallurgy process is usually used to extract high-purity nickel, cobalt and manganese salt raw materials required for preparing nickel-cobalt-manganese ternary precursor.

[0005] Due to the difficulty in controlling the full co-precipitation of nickel, cobalt and manganese in the existing MHP (nickel-cobalt hydroxide) precipitation process section of the existing wet process, the nickel-cobalt-manganese hydroxide obtained by precipitation cannot meet the nickel-cobalt-manganese ratio of the ternary precursor to be prepared; at the same time, the nickel-cobalt-manganese hydroxide obtained by the MHP precipitation process section has high impurity content and high water content, which is not conducive to directly using it to prepare the ternary precursor, so that it is necessary to extract nickel, cobalt and manganese after the MHP precipitation process, such as subsequent extraction process, thereby making the existing hydrometallurgical process line relatively long and high in cost. In order to reduce the cost of the existing laterite nickel ore hydrometallurgical process, it is urgent to propose a new process to solve the above problems existing in the existing MHP precipitation process section.

[0078] Preferably, the concentration of the complexing agent in the solution of the complexing agent is 0.01-0.2 mol / L, for example, it can be 0.01 mol / L, 0.02 mol / L, 0.03 mol / L, 0.04 mol / L, 0.05 mol / L, 0.06 mol / L, 0.07 mol / L, 0.08 mol / L, 0.09 mol / L, 0.1 mol / L, 0.12 mol / L, 0.13 mol / L, 0.15 mol / L, 0.18 mol / L, or 0.2 mol / L, etc.

[0079] Preferably, the molar ratio of dimethylamine phosphate and EDTA in the complexing agent is 0.4-0.6:1, for example, it can be 0.4:1, 0.42:1, 0.45:1, 0.48:1, 0.50:1, 0.55:1, 0.58:1, or 0.6:1, etc.

[0080] In the present application, MHP co-precipitation refers to Mixed Hydroxide Precipitate co-precipitation, that is, a chemical reaction in which multiple solutes are precipitated from a solution through a co-precipitation process.

[0081] The MHP co-precipitation method based on the proportion of ternary precursors provided by the application has the following mechanism:

[0082] 1) The pre-precipitation is firstly prepared to prepare a pre-precipitation liquid, and then the co-precipitation reaction is performed, which is because the impurity elements are contained in the liquid after removing iron, aluminum and chromium, and the impurity elements are easy to be entrained or synchronously precipitated in the MHP co-precipitation reaction process, thereby reducing the purity of the ternary precursor; by performing the pre-precipitation first, the ternary precursor crystal nucleus is formed first, so that the co-precipitation of nickel, cobalt and manganese is more favorable in the subsequent co-precipitation reaction process, the complexation of EDTA and dimethylamine phosphate to nickel, cobalt and manganese is avoided, not only the precipitation of impurity elements can be avoided, but also the element proportion of the ternary precursor can be effectively controlled.

[0083] 2) The application further preferably adds EDTA in the pre-precipitation step, as described above, the pre-precipitation step is to prepare the ternary precursor crystal nucleus, in order to avoid the impurities entrained in the crystal nucleus, a small amount of EDTA is added in the pre-precipitation process, and the pH is controlled to be slightly high, under the pH condition, the small amount of EDTA is preferentially complexed with Ca and Mg in the system, thereby favoring to ensure the purity of the final ternary precursor.

[0084] 3) In the process of coprecipitation reaction, EDTA and dimethylamine phosphate are introduced as complexing agents. On the one hand, from the stability constant LgK of different metal ions and complexing agents, the LgK of nickel ion is 18.56, the LgK of cobalt ion is 16.21, the LgK of manganese ion is 13.98, and the LgK of magnesium ion is 8.69. The LgK of nickel, cobalt and manganese is relatively close and is quite different from the LgK of magnesium. Since the impurities in the system during the coprecipitation reaction are mainly magnesium, the difference in stability between the complexing agents and nickel, cobalt, manganese and magnesium can be used to realize the preferential complexation of nickel, cobalt and manganese, thereby promoting the coprecipitation of nickel, cobalt and manganese. On the other hand, the complexing capacity of different metal ions also has a pH range suitable therefor. It has been verified through experiments that the suitable pH range for EDTA to complex magnesium ions is 9-11, while the pH of the coprecipitation reaction is controlled to be 7.5-8.0 in the present application, so that the pH condition is more suitable for the complexation of nickel, cobalt and manganese and is not suitable for the complexation of magnesium, thereby further promoting the stability of the complexation of nickel, cobalt and manganese. At the same time, dimethylamine phosphate is synchronously added. Dimethylamine phosphate can be well complexed with Mg and Ca elements in the pH range of 7.0-8.0 and has a weak complexing capacity for nickel, cobalt and manganese. In the process of coprecipitation reaction, dimethylamine phosphate is complexed with impurity elements such as Mg and Ca to avoid the entrainment of impurity elements into the ternary precursor precipitate, thereby significantly improving the purity of the ternary precursor. That is, two different complexing agents are used in the present application to complex nickel, cobalt and manganese and impurity elements, respectively. Moreover, the temperature has a significant effect on the complexing activity of EDTA. During the addition of the complexing agent, the temperature condition suitable for complexation is maintained, so that the complexing agent can be well complexed with nickel, cobalt and manganese. The temperature of the coprecipitation reaction is increased to be higher than the optimal temperature condition for the complexation of EDTA and nickel, cobalt and manganese ions, thereby inhibiting the complexation degree and the crystal water of the complex, so that the water content of the final nickel, cobalt and manganese hydroxide product is not too high.

[0085] 4) Since the complexing capacity of EDTA is different under different pH conditions, EDTA is first complexed with trace impurity elements in the pre-precipitation solution to inhibit the impurities in the crystal nucleus of the ternary precursor. When entering the coprecipitation reaction, the EDTA and impurity elements are released with the change of pH condition. Since the impurity elements have not reached the precipitation solubility product and the pH condition, the impurity elements are released into the solution and are complexed with dimethylamine phosphate, while EDTA is complexed with nickel, cobalt and manganese, thereby realizing the separation of impurity elements and nickel, cobalt and manganese in the coprecipitation reaction and obtaining a ternary precursor with high purity and low water content.

[0086] The present application is further described in detail through specific examples. To avoid redundancy, the liquid after removing iron and aluminum from the laterite nickel ore used in the examples and comparative examples is described as follows:

[0087] The post-iron and aluminum removal liquid of the laterite nickel ore used in the present application is a liquid phase obtained after high-pressure acid leaching-one-stage iron and aluminum removal-two-stage iron and aluminum removal of the laterite nickel ore, wherein the main components are shown in Table 1 in g / L.

[0123] The comparative example provides a MHP co-precipitation method based on ternary precursor proportioning, which is the same as the MHP co-precipitation method in the embodiment 1 except that step (2) is not performed, and all the mixed salt solutions are directly subjected to step (3).

[0131] Table 2

[0132]

[0133]

[0134] It can be seen from Table 2 that:

[0135] From Examples 1-4, it can be seen that the prepared nickel-cobalt-manganese hydroxide product is very close to the initial nickel-cobalt-manganese substance molar ratio of the ternary precursor to be prepared, proving that the MHP coprecipitation method based on the ternary precursor ratio described in the present application can well realize the coprecipitation of nickel-cobalt-manganese; at the same time, the magnesium impurity content is low, the water content can be controlled within the level of less than 60%, the total precipitation rate of nickel-cobalt-manganese is above 99%, and the purity of nickel-cobalt-manganese hydroxide is above 99.4wt%, wherein the Mg content is less than 0.1wt%.

[0136] From the comparison of Test Example 1 and Examples 5 and 2, it can be seen that the addition of EDTA in steps (2) and (3) is more conducive to improving the precipitation rate of nickel-cobalt-manganese, and the molar ratio of nickel-cobalt-manganese is closer to the expected value, and the impurity content of Mg in the final product is lower.

[0137] From the comparison of Test Example 1 and Examples 6-7, it can be seen that the present application preferably controls the molar ratio of dimethylamine phosphate to EDTA in step (3) within a reasonable range, which is more conducive to reducing the impurity content of nickel-cobalt-manganese hydroxide and ensuring the precipitation rate of nickel-cobalt-manganese.

[0138] From the comparison of Test Example 1 and Example 8, it can be seen that Example 8 does not set the temperature after adding the complexing agent relative to Example 1, which makes it difficult to inhibit the complexing process of EDTA in the latter stage of the reaction process, resulting in a significant increase in the water content of the final nickel-cobalt-manganese hydroxide product.

[0139] From the comparison of the nickel-cobalt-manganese hydroxide products prepared in Test Example 1 and Example 9, the total precipitation rate of Example 9 is significantly lower than that of Example 1, indicating that the reaction temperature is increased in the preliminary coprecipitation reaction process of Example 9, which makes the temperature condition exceed the suitable complexing range of EDTA for nickel-cobalt-manganese, reducing the degree of complexation of EDTA for nickel-cobalt-manganese, and thus reducing the precipitation rate of nickel-cobalt-manganese.

[0140] From the comparison of Test Example 1 and Example 10, it can be seen that the increase of pH in the complexing reaction process of Example 10 reduces the degree of complexation of EDTA for nickel-cobalt-manganese, while the degree of complexation with magnesium is increased, resulting in fluctuations in the molar ratio of nickel-cobalt-manganese and a significant increase in the magnesium impurity content.

[0141] From the comparison of the nickel-cobalt-manganese hydroxide products prepared in Test Example 1 and Comparative Example 1, the total precipitation rate of Comparative Example 1 is reduced to 78.5% relative to Example 1, proving that the introduction of pre-precipitation liquid in the complexing reaction process will reduce the precipitation rate of nickel-cobalt-manganese.

[0142] As can be seen from Comparative Example 1 and Comparative Examples 3-4, the application selected dimethylamine phosphate and EDTA for compounding use, which can further reduce the Mg impurity content in the nickel-cobalt-manganese hydroxide, and improve the precipitation rate of nickel-cobalt-manganese while ensuring the purity of the nickel-cobalt-manganese hydroxide.

[0143] The application is described in detail by the above examples, but the application is not limited to the above detailed features, that is, it does not mean that the application must rely on the above detailed features to be implemented. It should be understood by those skilled in the art that any improvement of the application, equivalent replacement of the selected technical features of the application, addition of auxiliary technical features, selection of specific modes, etc. fall within the protection scope and disclosure scope of the application.
