Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of secondary battery materials. More specifically, it relates to a method for recycling and regenerating lithium iron phosphate battery materials by liquid phase recovery. Background Art
[0002] Recycling and regenerating the cathode material of lithium iron phosphate batteries by the liquid phase method is an efficient, environmentally friendly and economical way, which is mainly achieved through steps such as dissolution, separation, purification and regeneration. For example, acid leaching is one of the commonly used methods. First, mild organic acids such as citric acid and oxalic acid, or low-concentration inorganic acids such as sulfuric acid or hydrochloric acid are used to avoid iron dissolution or phosphorus loss caused by strong acid solutions. On this basis, a reducing agent is added to reduce the possible trivalent iron ions to divalent ferrous ions; during this process, the acid leaching effect also needs to be ensured by controlling the temperature and acid concentration; subsequently, by adjusting the pH, ferrous ions and phosphate ions are retained in the solution, while impurities such as chloride ions form precipitates, and finally, ferrous ions are precipitated in the form of Fe3(PO4)2 by the precipitation method to achieve the separation of Li⁺ and Fe²⁺; subsequently, it is mixed with a lithium source and then calcined in an inert atmosphere to obtain the recycled lithium iron phosphate cathode material.
[0003] Based on the above description, it can be known that the traditional recycling and regeneration processes are complex, and a large amount of auxiliaries, especially acidic solutions, are consumed during the process, bringing great pressure to the environment. Therefore, how to develop a recycling and regeneration method with a simpler process and environmental friendliness is still one of the technical problems faced by those skilled in the art. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is: when recovering and regenerating the cathode material from lithium iron phosphate batteries by the acid leaching method, using strong acid solutions for treatment is likely to bring great pressure to the environment, while using organic acids for treatment results in low acid leaching efficiency. Based on the above problems, the present invention provides a method for recycling and regenerating lithium iron phosphate battery materials by liquid phase recovery.
[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a method for recycling and regenerating lithium iron phosphate battery materials by liquid phase recovery.
[0006] The above object of the present invention is achieved by the following technical solutions: A method for recycling and regenerating lithium iron phosphate battery materials by liquid phase recovery, the specific method comprising the following steps: Disassembling the lithium iron phosphate battery and recovering the cathode plate; Peeling off the surface active material layer of the cathode plate to obtain the cathode active material layer, then mixing it with NMP at a mass ratio of 1:8 - 10, heating and reacting by microwave ultrasonic, and then filtering, washing and drying to obtain the cathode active material; By using NMP as a solvent, it can quickly and uniformly penetrate into the internal pores under the action of ultrasonic waves, effectively swelling and dissolving the binder. Synchronously combined with microwave heating, the microwave can directly act on the carbon-based conductive agent in the positive active material layer. Thanks to the uniform distribution of the conductive agent itself, it is conducive to the rapid and uniform transfer of heat inside, accelerating the swelling and dissolving effect of NMP on the binder; Mix the positive active material and the mixed acid solution at a mass ratio of 1:8.5 - 9.0, add hydrogen peroxide accounting for 10 - 12% of the mass of the mixed acid solution, heat and carry out an acid leaching reaction at a temperature of 50 - 90 °C for 2 - 3 h, then filter and collect the leaching solution; Among them, the mixed acid solution is prepared by compounding a malic acid solution with a concentration of 1.8 - 2.2 mol / L and a citric acid solution with a concentration of 1.5 - 2.0 mol / L according to a mass ratio of 1:1; The above technical solution first uses the combination of malic acid and citric acid to replace the traditional sulfuric acid or a single citric acid system to achieve an efficient and environmentally friendly leaching process; specifically, malic acid can ionize to generate hydrogen ions at a lower temperature, thereby realizing the dissolution of ferrous ions, and after dissolution, form a complex with medium stability with ferrous ions, thereby promoting the dissolution of Fe, but can avoid excessive binding; while citric acid can preferentially and firmly complex the iron ions in the system, avoiding the formation of precipitates coating the surface of the cathode material, thus affecting the mass transfer process of the acid leaching process and the acid leaching efficiency. At the same time, citric acid can also react with hydrogen peroxide to generate active hydroxyl radicals, destroying the passivation layer on the surface of lithium iron phosphate and accelerating the leaching efficiency; Since organic acid cooperation is used to replace sulfuric acid, its final wastewater can be biodegradable, ensuring environmental protection; Adjust the pH of the leaching solution to 3.5, filter to remove the precipitate, then supplement the lithium source, adjust the molar ratio of Li:Fe:P to 1.05:1:1, and then adjust the pH to 9.0. After reacting at a temperature of 50 - 60 °C, raise the temperature to 80 °C, stand and age for 4 h, then filter and dry to obtain a dry precursor; Calcine the dry precursor in a reducing atmosphere at a temperature of 650 - 670 °C for 6 - 8 h, then cool and discharge to obtain the regenerated lithium iron phosphate material.
[0007] The above technical solution adjusts the pH to 3.5, so that ferric ions in the system precipitate out in the form of a precipitate, and then are removed by filtration. After supplementing the lithium source and achieving the corresponding ratio, adjust the pH to 9.0, and start to form a precursor precipitate. During the aging process, the crystallinity of the precursor is further improved. Finally, through the calcination in a reducing atmosphere, the regeneration of the lithium iron phosphate material is achieved.
[0008] Furthermore, the microwave ultrasonic heating reaction includes: Under the conditions of microwave power of 300 - 320 W and ultrasonic frequency of 80 - 100 kHz, perform microwave ultrasonic reaction for 2 - 2.5 h.
[0009] Furthermore, the specific method further includes: Add anhydrous ethanol with the same volume as the leaching solution to the leaching solution, then adjust the pH to 3.5, filter to remove the precipitate, then supplement the lithium source, adjust the molar ratio of Li:Fe:P to 1.05:1:1, then adjust the pH to 9.0, react under the condition of temperature of 50 - 60 °C, then raise the temperature to 80 °C, stand for aging for 4 h, transfer to a high-pressure reactor, under the condition of temperature of 180 - 190 °C, perform high-temperature reaction for 8 - 10 h, then cool, discharge, filter, and dry to obtain a dry precursor.
[0010] The beneficial effects of the above technical solution are: By further adding anhydrous ethanol to the leaching solution in the above technical solution, as a polar solvent, ethanol can improve the wetting of the system for lithium iron phosphate materials and accelerate the interfacial reaction; in addition, it can balance the oxidation effect of hydrogen peroxide and prevent ferrous ions from being over-oxidized to ferric ions.
[0011] Furthermore, the specific method further includes: Add anhydrous ethanol with the same volume as the leaching solution to the leaching solution, then adjust the pH to 3.5, filter to remove the precipitate, then supplement the lithium source, adjust the molar ratio of Li:Fe:P to 1.05:1:1, then adjust the pH to 9.0, react under the condition of temperature of 50 - 60 °C, add a dopamine solution with 6 - 8% of the mass of the leaching solution, then raise the temperature to 80 °C, stand for aging for 4 h, then transfer to a high-pressure reactor, under the condition of temperature of 180 - 190 °C, perform high-temperature reaction for 8 - 10 h, then cool, discharge, filter, and dry to obtain a dry precursor; Among them, the concentration of the dopamine solution is 8 - 10 g / L.
[0012] The beneficial effects of the above technical solution are: In the above technical solution, by further introducing dopamine into the system, and utilizing the oxidative polymerization of dopamine on the surface of the precursor at a pH of 9.0 to form a polymer coating layer containing carbon and nitrogen elements, this coating layer can be transformed into an SP2 hybrid carbon coating layer under the subsequent calcination temperature conditions, and its electrical conductivity is more excellent than that of the traditional sucrose carbon coating layer; in addition, the presence of nitrogen elements can form pyridine nitrogen in the coating layer after calcination, further promoting electron transfer; moreover, the functional groups in dopamine can form coordination bonds with ferrous ions or phosphate ions, inhibiting the agglomeration of precursor particles and improving the uniformity of precursor particles; and the selection of the addition timing of dopamine can partially embed into the lattice of the precursor during the aging process to form nitrogen doping, improving the intrinsic conductivity of the material.
[0013] Furthermore, the specific method further includes: The dried precursor is heated and raised to 650 - 670 °C at a rate of 0.8 - 1.5 °C / min in a reducing atmosphere, calcined for 6 - 8 h while maintaining the temperature, and then cooled to room temperature with the furnace, and the product is taken out to obtain the regenerated lithium iron phosphate material.
[0014] Furthermore, the reducing atmosphere is composed of nitrogen and hydrogen mixed in a volume ratio of 9 - 9.5:1.
[0015] Furthermore, the specific method further includes: The cathode active material and the mixed acid solution are mixed at a mass ratio of 1:8.5 - 9.0, and 10 - 12% of hydrogen peroxide based on the mass of the mixed acid solution is added. First, at a temperature of 50 - 60 °C and a stirring speed of 200 - 220 r / min, the acid leaching reaction is carried out for 1 - 1.5 h by heating, and then at a temperature of 80 - 90 °C and a stirring speed of 150 - 180 r / min, the acid leaching reaction is continued for 1 - 1.5 h by heating. Subsequently, filtration is carried out to collect the leachate.
[0016] The beneficial effects of the above technical solution are as follows: By further controlling the acid leaching process and carrying out distributed acid leaching reactions at two-stage reaction temperature steps, in the temperature range of 50 - 60 °C, it is the process dominated by the dissolution of malic acid, while in the temperature range of 80 - 90 °C, it is the process dominated by the deep complexation of citric acid; by controlling the temperature, the functions of both are fully exerted to improve the acid leaching effect.
[0017] Furthermore, the mass fraction of the hydrogen peroxide is 28 - 32%. Specific Embodiments
