Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of lithium ion battery material recycling, and specifically relates to a method for preparing sodium battery positive electrode material by utilizing waste iron phosphate. Background Art

[0002] With the rise of the new energy vehicle industry and the guidance of national policies, new energy vehicles have shown explosive growth. It is estimated that the output of electric vehicles will reach 5.8 million in 2025, and the output value will exceed one trillion yuan. Among them, batteries account for 1 / 3 of the cost of the entire vehicle and 1 / 4 of the weight, and are rich in a variety of energy metals and strategic elements. If waste power batteries are not handled properly, the many metal elements they contain will not only cause serious harm to human health, but also cause waste of resources. The state has issued a series of policies to standardize the recycling and utilization of power batteries. Therefore, it is urgent to recycle and reuse waste batteries.

[0003] At present, the main methods for recycling lithium iron phosphate batteries are dry high-temperature solid-phase repair and hydrometallurgical recycling. The dry high-temperature repair method first mechanically crushes the positive electrode material by mechanical sorting, and then removes the organic binder by high-temperature calcination to separate the lithium iron phosphate powder from the aluminum foil to obtain the lithium iron phosphate positive electrode material. However, the entire recycling process is not very targeted to waste batteries, has high energy consumption, and the organic solvents in the battery are prone to cause serious environmental pollution after combustion. Hydrometallurgical recycling uses acid and alkali solutions as a medium to dissolve the waste lithium iron phosphate positive electrode, and mainly recycles lithium carbonate by precipitation, adsorption, ion exchange and other methods. Low-value iron phosphate slag is often landfilled, resulting in a huge waste of resources.

[0004] Patent publication number CN 115304042A discloses a method for recycling waste lithium iron phosphate to prepare battery-grade iron phosphate, comprising the following steps: using a leaching solution to leach and dissolve waste lithium iron phosphate materials, and after solid-liquid separation, obtaining a filtrate containing lithium and impurities and an iron phosphate residue; dissolving the obtained iron phosphate residue with sulfuric acid, adjusting the pH for recrystallization, and then filtering and separating to obtain a precipitated solid, drying, crushing, and calcining it to obtain battery-grade iron phosphate. This patent realizes the high-value recycling of waste iron phosphate. Patent Publication No. CN117886297A is a sodium iron fluorophosphate positive electrode material prepared by repairing and regenerating waste batteries. It adopts the reduction acid leaching method to achieve the effective and rapid separation of the conductive agent and the binder. The reducing environment is conducive to the dissolution of iron ions, avoiding the problem of low purity of the regenerated sodium iron fluorophosphate in the subsequent solid phase sintering process; the addition of surfactant effectively reduces the surface tension of the leaching solution, improves the hydrophilicity of the positive electrode active material, eliminates the phenomenon of waste powder floating on the surface of the solution, strengthens the mass transfer process, and increases the liquid-solid contact area, further improving the leaching rate and purity of the effective ingredients; the regenerated iron phosphate particles prepared by the precipitation method are solid-phase sintered with sodium fluoride to obtain the sodium iron fluorophosphate positive electrode material. This patent further uses waste iron phosphate to prepare sodium electric positive electrode materials. However, the conductivity and rate performance of the prepared sodium iron fluorophosphate positive electrode material need to be further improved. Summary of the invention
