Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of resource recovery, and in particular relates to a leaching method for leaching mixed powder of electronic waste using Lactobacillus plantarum. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid development of the electronics industry, the amount of electronic waste generated has also risen sharply. Electronic waste comes from a wide range of sources and is of many types. Common ones include lithium-ion batteries, liquid crystal displays, tantalum capacitors, printed circuit boards, light-emitting diodes, etc. These electronic wastes are composed of ceramics, organic materials and many metals. Electronic waste not only contains a large amount of valuable metals such as lithium, copper, aluminum, silver, gold, palladium, iron, etc., but also contains many heavy metals such as mercury, cadmium, lead and brominated flame retardants, which are substances that are harmful to the environment. Therefore, the resource recovery of these electronic wastes is not only of economic value, but also of great significance to environmental protection. Among the many electronic waste metal recovery technologies, pyrometallurgy and hydrometallurgy are two more mainstream methods.

[0003] Pyrometallurgical technology mainly uses high-temperature means to separate and recycle metal components in electronic waste. The steps involved include pretreatment (crushing, sorting, etc.), pyrolysis and smelting. In this process, organic matter is decomposed by high temperature and the metal components are melted, thereby achieving efficient separation of metals and non-metals. In the process of recycling electronic waste, the use of pyrometallurgical technology will produce a variety of harmful gases including dioxins, sulfur oxides and nitrogen oxides. These gases will not only seriously affect the air quality, but also cause harm to human health. In addition, pyrometallurgical technology needs to be carried out under high temperature conditions, which not only consumes a lot of energy, but also leads to an increase in carbon emissions.

[0004] Hydrometallurgical technology includes chemical leaching and bioleaching. Chemical leaching is the process of leaching metals from electronic waste using chemical reagents. As a special hydrometallurgical technology, bioleaching mainly uses the biochemical action of microorganisms to recover valuable metals from electronic waste. This process mainly relies on the reaction between substances produced by microbial metabolism (such as acidic substances) and metal ions to promote the dissolution of metals, and then achieves the concentration and recovery of metals through subsequent processes such as precipitation and adsorption. Bioleaching technology is favored for its mild operating conditions and small environmental impact.

[0005] Chemical leaching usually relies on chemical agents such as strong acids or strong bases, while traditional biological leaching mainly uses strong acidophilic microorganisms such as Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans and Acidithiobacillus thiooxidans. These methods produce a large amount of strongly acidic or alkaline wastewater during the leaching process, which will cause serious damage to the water and soil environment if not properly treated. Therefore, it is particularly urgent to develop an environmentally friendly and effective biotechnology to recover valuable metals from electronic waste. Summary of the invention

[0006] The purpose of the present invention is to provide an efficient and environmentally friendly method for simultaneously recovering valuable metals in waste lithium iron phosphate batteries and waste printed circuit boards using Lactobacillus plantarum, so as to achieve efficient recovery of valuable metals in electronic waste without adding other chemical substances.

[0021] Further, the subculture step described in step 3 is: taking the subcultured bacterial solution, waste lithium iron phosphate powder and waste printed circuit board powder, and adding them to the culture medium described in step 2 at the same time, each 5 mL of the subcultured bacterial solution corresponds to 100 mL of the culture medium described in step 2, the concentrations of the waste lithium iron phosphate powder and the waste printed circuit board powder are 1.0 g / L respectively, and culturing until the bacterial concentration is 10 8 cells / mL, take the subcultured bacterial solution at this time and repeat the above steps; the same waste lithium iron phosphate powder and waste printed circuit board powder concentrations are subcultured twice, that is, every two cultures, the waste lithium iron phosphate powder and waste printed circuit board powder concentrations are increased by 0.5g / L, and so on, until the waste lithium iron phosphate powder and waste printed circuit board powder concentrations are 50.0g / L respectively, and the cell concentration reaches and stabilizes at 10 8 cells / mL, the domestication process is completed and the domesticated Lactobacillus plantarum is obtained.

[0022] Furthermore, the two-step leaching method described in step 4 is as follows: adding waste printed circuit board powder into a conical flask for high-pressure sterilization, inoculating the domesticated plant lactobacillus into the culture medium, and making the initial bacterial concentration be 10 7 cells / mL, and cultured to the logarithmic growth phase to obtain an extract containing Lactobacillus plantarum and its metabolites.

[0025] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0026] The present invention creatively applies Lactobacillus plantarum to the biological leaching of waste lithium iron phosphate batteries and waste printed circuit board mixed materials. The bacteria grows well in an environment with a pH value of 4-6. The present invention uses Lactobacillus plantarum to leach lithium and iron from waste lithium iron phosphate batteries. After the iron element is leached, it is converted into Fe 3+ The present in the form of in the leachate can be used as an oxidant to promote the biological leaching of copper in waste printed circuit boards.

The method for leaching electronic waste mixed powder using Lactobacillus plantarum according to claim 1, wherein: The two-step leaching method described in step 4 is as follows: adding waste printed circuit board powder into a conical flask for high-pressure sterilization, inoculating the domesticated plant lactobacillus into the culture medium to make the initial bacterial concentration be 10 7 cells / mL, and cultured to the logarithmic growth phase to obtain an extract containing Lactobacillus plantarum and its metabolites. The extract and waste lithium iron phosphate powder were added to a sterilized conical flask to start the leaching experiment, which was recorded as 0 h.

8. The method for leaching electronic waste mixed powder using Lactobacillus plantarum according to claim 1, characterized in that: The waste culture medium method leaching in step 4 is as follows: waste printed circuit board powder is added to a conical flask and sterilized under high pressure, and the domesticated plant lactobacillus is inoculated into the culture medium to make the initial bacterial concentration be 10 7 cells / mL, cultured to a stable phase to obtain a stable phase bacterial solution containing Lactobacillus plantarum and its metabolites, centrifuged and filtered to obtain an extract containing Lactobacillus plantarum metabolites, and added the extract and waste lithium iron phosphate powder to a sterilized conical flask to start the leaching experiment, which was recorded as 0 h.

9. A method for leaching electronic waste mixed powder using Lactobacillus plantarum according to any one of claims 7 or 8, characterized in that: The leaching temperature in the two-step method and the spent culture medium method described in step 4 is 36°C to 38°C, and the stirring speed is 150 rpm; the temperature of the high-pressure sterilization is 120°C to 122°C, the pressure is 99 kPa to 101 kPa, and the sterilization time is 15 min to 25 min; the centrifugation speed in the spent culture medium method is 4500 rpm / min, the time is 8 min to 12 min, and the filtration uses a 0.22 μm aqueous membrane.
