Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of waste lithium battery recycling technology, and relates to a full-resource recycling process for waste lithium batteries. Background Technology
[0002] In recent years, with the increasing number of retired electric vehicles, a large amount of waste lithium batteries have also been generated, posing a huge challenge to environmental protection.
[0003] The existing recycling process for waste lithium batteries mainly uses pH-adjusted precipitation to separate lithium phosphate, iron phosphate, and other impurity metals. Although the process is simple and can produce high-purity iron phosphate and lithium phosphate, it has high requirements for the raw materials of waste lithium batteries, especially the aluminum content. Otherwise, it will be difficult to separate aluminum impurities from the iron phosphate slag, which will easily lead to excessive impurities in the subsequently synthesized iron phosphate. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a process for the full-resource recycling of waste lithium batteries, which solves the above-mentioned problems existing in the current waste lithium battery resource recycling processes.
[0005] The technical solution adopted in this invention is as follows:
[0006] A process for the complete recycling of waste lithium batteries includes the following steps:
[0007] S1, Recycling Ferric Phosphate
[0008] S1.1. Pulverize the waste lithium iron phosphate black powder at a solid-liquid ratio of 1:4-6, then add acid solution to adjust the pH to 1-3, heat and react for 3-6 hours, filter to obtain the first filtrate;
[0009] S1.2 Add a reducing agent to the acidic first filtrate to carry out a reduction reaction, reducing the copper ions and ferric ions in the first filtrate, filter, and obtain the second filtrate;
[0010] S1.3 Add a precipitant to the second filtrate to remove aluminum ions, filter, and obtain the third filtrate;
[0011] S1.4 Adjust the pH of the third filtrate to 2-3, react to precipitate titanium ions, filter, and obtain the fourth filtrate;
[0012] S1.5 Add phosphoric acid to the fourth filtrate to adjust the iron-to-phosphorus ratio to 1:1.01-1.2. Then, hydrogen peroxide and alkaline solution are added dropwise simultaneously. The addition time of hydrogen peroxide and alkaline solution is 1-2 hours. The temperature is controlled at 40-60℃ during the addition process. After the addition is completed, the reaction continues. After the reaction is completed, filter to obtain the fifth filter residue and the fifth filtrate. The fifth filter residue is iron phosphate.
[0013] S1.6 After multi-stage pulping and washing of ferric phosphate, the washed ferric phosphate is passed into a flash evaporation tower to remove 95% of the total free water; then the ferric phosphate is calcined in a rotary kiln to obtain qualified ferric phosphate.
[0014] S2, Recycling Lithium Phosphate
[0015] S2.1 Adjust the pH of the fifth filtrate to 4-6, react at 30-55℃, then adjust the pH to 10-12, filter, pass the filtrate through resin to remove calcium, then pass it through a nanofiltration membrane and MVR for concentration to obtain a lithium salt solution with a lithium ion concentration of 12-18 g / L.
[0016] S2.2 Prepare a phosphorus source solution with a phosphorus concentration of 0.7-1.2 mol / L. First, add the phosphorus source solution to the synthesis vessel, and then add the lithium salt solution dropwise to the synthesis vessel. The dropwise addition time is 60-150 min, and the dropwise addition temperature is 40-70℃. After the dropwise addition is completed, continue the reaction for 30-90 min and then filter to obtain lithium phosphate.
[0017] S2.3. The synthesized lithium phosphate is pulped, washed, aged, and stirred before being passed into a flash evaporation tower to remove moisture and then demagnetized to obtain qualified lithium phosphate.
[0018] This application addresses the issue of high impurity content requirements in traditional recycling methods for waste lithium iron phosphate black powder. By first removing impurities in stages and then recovering iron phosphate and lithium phosphate, it can process waste lithium iron phosphate black powder with high aluminum and titanium content, thus solving the problem of gradually increasing aluminum, titanium and other impurities in waste lithium iron phosphate black powder on the current market.
[0019] Furthermore, the multi-stage pulping in step S1.6 includes the following specific steps:
[0020] First stage pulping: Pulping ferric phosphate at a solid-liquid ratio of 1:6-12, heating to 55-80℃, stirring and washing for 50-60 minutes, filtering, and then the ferric phosphate enters the second stage pulping;
[0021] Second stage pulping: The ferric phosphate obtained after the first stage pulping and filtration is pulped at a solid-liquid ratio of 1:3-7. Phosphoric acid of 4-10% of the mass of ferric phosphate is added, the temperature is raised to 85-90℃, and the reaction continues for 30-90 minutes until the ferric phosphate turns white. After filtration, the ferric phosphate enters the third stage pulping.
[0022] Third-stage pulping: The ferric phosphate obtained after the second-stage pulping and filtration is pulped at a ratio of 1:6-7, heated to 40-55℃, stirred and washed for 20-45 minutes, and then filtered to obtain multi-stage pulped ferric phosphate.
[0023] Further, the specific steps of pulping, washing, aging, and stirring the synthesized lithium phosphate in step S2.3 are as follows: The synthesized lithium phosphate is pulped at a solid-liquid ratio of 1:11-14, stirred and washed at 45-80℃ for 35-50 minutes, and then filtered. The stirred and washed lithium phosphate is pulped again at a solid-liquid ratio of 1:9-11, and phosphoric acid is added at a ratio of 4.12-7.5% of the mass of lithium phosphate. The temperature is raised to 92-100℃, aged for 45-85 minutes, and then filtered. Subsequently, the aged lithium phosphate is stirred and washed at a solid-liquid ratio of 1:10-15 for 20-35 minutes at a temperature of 40-50℃. After filtration, the lithium phosphate is passed into a flash evaporation tower.
[0024] Furthermore, based on the lithium ion content in the lithium salt solution, the phosphorus excess coefficient in the phosphorus source solution added in step S2.2 is 1.03-1.2.
[0025] Furthermore, the amount of hydrogen peroxide used in step S1.5 is 1.1-1.5 times the theoretical amount of ferrous ions in the fourth filtrate.
[0026] Furthermore, the reducing agent in step S1.2 is a two-component reducing agent, comprising component A and component B; component A is a composite of silica-based copper ion-imprinted polymer loaded with nano-zero valent iron; and component B is sustained-release ascorbic acid microspheres.
[0027] In step S1.2, the molar ratio of nano-zero valent iron in component A to copper ions in the first filtrate is 1.2:1;
[0028] In step S1.2, the molar ratio of ascorbic acid in component B to ferric ions in the first filtrate is 1.2:1.
[0029] In this application, if the copper ions in the first step are not completely reduced or the ferric ions are not reduced to ferrous ions, it will interfere with the removal of aluminum ions in the second step, causing competitive precipitation of aluminum ions and increasing the amount of precipitant used. The precipitation conditions and results are difficult to control. For waste lithium iron phosphate black powder, the concentration of copper ions is not very high. As the reduction reaction proceeds and ferric ions compete with the reducing agent, the removal rate of copper ions will decrease. Therefore, this application designs a two-component reducing agent for the recovery process of first removing impurities and then recovering iron phosphate and lithium phosphate. Component A can specifically and efficiently adsorb copper ions, achieving the enrichment of copper ions and separating copper ions and ferric ions in the solution. The enriched copper ions are reduced by iron, effectively improving the removal rate of copper ions. Ferric ions are reduced by ascorbic acid. To avoid the ineffective consumption of ascorbic acid, this application uses a slow-release type of ascorbic acid. In this application, both component A and component B are solid substances that will not disintegrate in the solution. After the reduction reaction is completed, component A and component B can be removed by the filtration process without introducing a large amount of other components into the solution, thus avoiding increasing the difficulty of subsequent solution processing.
[0030] Furthermore, the precipitant in S1.3 is at least one of oxalic acid, sodium fluoride, and sodium oxalate.
[0031] Furthermore, the reducing agent is prepared by the following method:
[0032] Preparation of component A:
[0033] A1. 100 parts by weight of silica gel were refluxed in 1M nitric acid solution at 80°C for 2 hours, washed, dried and dispersed in toluene, 15 parts by weight of 3-mercaptopropyltrimethoxysilane were added, and the mixture was refluxed at 110°C for 12 hours under nitrogen protection. After the reaction, the mixture was filtered, washed and dried to obtain mercapto-modified silica gel.
[0034] A2. Thiolized silica gel was added to a copper ion solution and adsorbed until saturated. Then, it was mixed with methacrylic acid monomer, BPO initiator, and ethylene glycol dimethacrylate crosslinking agent, and polymerized at 60-70℃. After the reaction, EDTA was used as an eluent, and the mixture was dried to obtain a silica gel-based copper ion imprinted polymer. The amount of methacrylic acid monomer was 5% of the mass of the thiolated silica gel, the amount of BPO initiator was 0.3% of the mass of the thiolated silica gel, and the amount of ethylene glycol dimethacrylate crosslinking agent was 15% of the mass of the thiolated silica gel.
[0035] A3. Dissolve 50 parts by weight of FeSO4·7H2O in 400 parts by weight of deionized water, stir evenly, add silica-based copper ion imprinted polymer, stir at 40°C for 4 hours, and then slowly add a reducing solution containing 18 parts by weight of sodium borohydride under nitrogen protection. React for 1 hour, filter, wash, and dry to obtain component A.
[0036] Preparation of component B:
[0037] B1. Dissolve 4 parts by weight of sodium alginate and 20 parts by weight of ascorbic acid in 100 parts by weight of deionized water, stir evenly to obtain a mixture, then add 2 parts by weight of calcium carbonate powder to the mixture, stir evenly to form a suspension.
[0038] B2. Gradually add the suspension dropwise to the calcium chloride solution. After the addition is complete, stir the reaction for 30 minutes, filter, wash, and dry to obtain component B.
[0039] Furthermore, in S1.6, the inlet air temperature of the flash tower is controlled within 500℃, the outlet temperature is controlled between 100-150℃, and the mixing temperature is 120-160℃.
[0040] In step S2.3, the inlet air temperature of the flash tower is controlled within 350℃, the outlet temperature is controlled between 110-145℃, and the mixing temperature is between 120-150℃.
[0041] Further, the alkaline solution in S1.5 is at least one of a sodium carbonate solution with a mass fraction of 10-30%, a sodium hydroxide solution with a mass fraction of 10-20%, and ammonia water.
[0042] In summary, due to the adoption of the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:
[0043] 1. The present invention provides a process for the full resource recycling of waste lithium batteries. This process first removes impurities in stages and then recycles iron phosphate and lithium phosphate, replacing the existing process that only separates iron phosphate, lithium phosphate and impurity metal ions through pH precipitation. It can process waste lithium iron phosphate black powder with high content of aluminum, titanium and other materials. In the process of recycling iron and lithium, multiple metal ions are removed in a distributed manner. The removed metals can be recycled and reused, thus realizing the full resource recycling of waste lithium batteries.
[0044] 2. In order to improve the impurity removal rate, the present invention designs a reducing agent suitable for this application, which efficiently reduces copper ions and ferric ions in the first step, which not only improves the removal rate of copper ions, but also facilitates the subsequent removal of aluminum ions, etc. The reducing agent has a solid two-component core component, which is easy to remove after use under efficient reduction conditions and will not introduce a large number of other impurity components.
[0045] 3. This invention has low requirements for the quality of raw materials from waste lithium iron phosphate batteries and is suitable for the treatment of waste lithium iron phosphate batteries with a wide range of impurity contents. Attached Figure Description
