Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of resource recycling of waste lithium batteries, and particularly relates to a waste lithium battery recycling process based on carbon dioxide reinforced roasting. BACKGROUND

[0002] In recent years, the generation of a large number of waste lithium ion batteries has posed a severe challenge to electronic waste treatment and environmental protection. On the one hand, waste lithium ion batteries contain toxic and flammable electrolytes, heavy metals and other harmful components. If not properly treated, they can cause serious water and soil pollution, and even cause fires, explosions and other safety accidents. On the other hand, waste lithium ion batteries contain a large amount of lithium, cobalt, nickel, manganese, copper and other metal resources. If the battery elements can be efficiently recycled, the shortage of cobalt and lithium resources in China can be alleviated to a great extent.

[0003] There are two types of recycling processes for waste lithium batteries: pyrometallurgical recycling and hydrometallurgical recycling. The pyrometallurgical recycling process usually uses high-temperature roasting to extract valuable metals, which usually requires a high temperature of more than 1000℃, resulting in high energy consumption and the generation of toxic gases such as dioxin and fluoride. Additional tail gas treatment facilities are required, resulting in a significant increase in cost. The alloy generated by pyrometallurgical smelting needs to be further separated by hydrometallurgical process, and the overall process is complex. The purification degree and recovery rate of valuable metals in the traditional hydrometallurgical recycling process are higher than those in the pyrometallurgical recycling process, but the process is long, the efficiency is low, and a large amount of waste liquid is generated after organic solvent extraction, which also pollutes the environment. Moreover, the recovery of phosphorus and fluorine in waste lithium batteries has become a core challenge for environmental compliance. In the traditional process, most of the phosphorus and fluorine are discharged with the tail gas, causing pollution. The resource recycling of phosphorus and fluorine is challenging.

[0004] Currently, the pyrometallurgical process alone has the disadvantages of high energy consumption, high pollution and low resource utilization rate, while the conventional hydrometallurgical process is difficult to achieve selective leaching of lithium, resulting in a large amount of impurity metals in the leaching solution, high cost of subsequent impurity removal and purification, long process, and large loss of lithium. However, existing waste lithium battery recycling often only directly disposes of phosphorus and fluorine in the pyrolysis stage, resulting in waste of battery resources and failure to achieve resource recycling. SUMMARY

[0005] The purpose of the present application is to provide a waste lithium battery recycling process based on carbon dioxide reinforced roasting to solve the problems raised in the background.

[0006] In order to achieve the above purpose, the application adopts the following technical effects: A waste lithium battery recycling process based on carbon dioxide reinforced roasting, comprising the following steps: S1 pretreatment: disassembling, sorting, crushing and screening the discharged waste lithium batteries to obtain positive and negative mixed black powder; S2 CO2 reinforced roasting: the positive and negative electrode mixed black powder obtained in S1 is mixed with calcium oxide, and is roasted in the first stage of a two-stage roasting furnace under a CO2 atmosphere; S3 mixed gas reduction roasting: the roasting product of the first stage is sent to the second stage of the roasting furnace, and is roasted under a H2 / CO mixed gas; S4 carbonized water leaching: the roasting product is subjected to CO2 carbonized water leaching to obtain a water leaching solution and a water leaching residue, the water leaching solution is subjected to selective concentration separation, and lithium is recovered; S5 acid leaching: the water leaching residue obtained in S4 is subjected to acid leaching to obtain an acid leaching solution and an acid leaching residue, the acid leaching residue is separated to obtain valuable metals of nickel, cobalt and manganese and calcium fluoride and calcium phosphate; S6 extraction: the acid leaching solution obtained in S5 is subjected to impurity removal and extraction to obtain nickel, cobalt and manganese and recover them.

[0007] Further, in S1, the specific method is: the waste lithium battery is soaked in an inorganic salt solution for discharge treatment and drying, the completely discharged and dried battery is disassembled and sorted to obtain positive and negative electrode sheets, and finally the positive and negative electrode sheets are crushed and sieved to obtain positive and negative electrode mixed black powder.

[0008] Further, the inorganic salt solution is a sodium sulfate solution with a mass concentration of 5-10 wt %.

[0009] Further, the inorganic salt solution is a sodium sulfate solution with a mass concentration of 5 wt %.

[0010] Further, in S2, the molar ratio of the positive and negative electrode mixed black powder to calcium oxide is 1:5-5:1.

[0011] Further, in S2, the particle size of the calcium oxide is 10-100 μm.

[0012] Further, the specific method of step S2 is: the positive and negative electrode mixed black powder and calcium oxide are weighed according to the proportion, put into an air flow mill to mix and crush to obtain a mixture; the mixture is put into a ball mill tank protected by inert gas and nitrogen for ball milling; finally, the mixture after ball milling is sent to a roasting furnace with carbon dioxide for roasting to obtain a CO2 roasting product.

[0013] Further, the partial pressure of the introduced carbon dioxide is 0.03-0.3 MPa.

[0014] Further, the roasting temperature is 300-800 ℃, and the holding time is 30 min-120 min.

[0015] Further, in S3, the volume ratio of H2 to CO in the H2 / CO mixed gas is 3:1-1:3.

[0016] Further, in S3, the calcination temperature is 450℃, and the holding time is 30 min.

[0017] Further, in S3, the collected and reused CO2 after calcination is transported to the first-stage calcination.

[0018] Further, the calcination is matched with a corresponding flue gas collection device, and the collected carbon dioxide is reused after reaching the standard.

[0019] The application has the following technical effects: 1. In the pyrolysis reduction calcination, the application uses cathode graphite as a reducing agent and calcium oxide as an additive, and the calcination is carried out in a carbon dioxide atmosphere, which can accelerate the kinetics of the reduction reaction, strengthen the reduction calcination effect under low-temperature conditions, and due to the presence of carbon dioxide, active calcium carbonate is generated with calcium oxide, so that the fluorine and phosphorus fixation efficiency is significantly improved.

[0020] 2. The two-step process of carbon dioxide strengthened calcination and mixed gas reduction calcination is continuously carried out in an integrated two-stage calcination furnace, so that the electrolyte and binder in the waste lithium battery black powder are thermally decomposed, and the phosphorus and fluorine pollutants are fixed in situ, which not only avoids the liquid phase bonding of organic matter on the surface of solid materials to reduce the reaction rate of valuable metal elements, but also completes the resource utilization of pollutants.

[0022] 4. The application introduces a waste gas treatment and carbon dioxide reuse system, so that the carbon dioxide pollution generated in the mixed gas reduction calcination step is completely cleaned, the whole process is low-carbon and environmentally friendly, and there is no secondary pollution. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS

[0023] Figure 1 is a process flowchart of the application; Figure 2 is a phosphorus and fluorine fixation reaction path diagram of the application; DETAILED DESCRIPTION To make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the application clearer and more apparent, the application will be further described in detail below with reference to the drawings and preferred embodiments. However, it should be noted that many details in the description are only to make the reader have a thorough understanding of one or more aspects of the application, and the aspects of the application can be realized even without these specific details.

[0024] As shown in Figure 1 , a waste lithium battery recycling process based on carbon dioxide strengthened calcination includes the following steps: S1 Pretreatment: The waste lithium battery is soaked in a 5wt% sodium sulfate solution for discharge treatment. After soaking for 24 hours, it is sent to a drying device for thorough drying to prevent the materials from adhering to each other and affecting subsequent screening. The fully discharged and dried battery is then disassembled and sorted, and the battery cell part is sorted out. The battery cell is disassembled again to obtain positive and negative electrode sheets, a shell, and a separator. The obtained positive and negative electrode sheets are respectively subjected to multi-stage crushing using a crusher, and after crushing, screening is performed to collect the undersize powder and the oversize particles, obtaining a positive and negative mixed black powder, copper, and aluminum. The copper and aluminum can be recycled. S2 CO2 reinforced roasting: The positive and negative mixed black powder and calcium oxide are mixed and crushed in a jet mill at a molar ratio of C:Ca = 1:5~5:1 to obtain a mixture. The mixture is then placed in a ball mill tank protected by inert gas and nitrogen for ball milling. Finally, the mixture after ball milling is sent to the first stage of a one-piece two-stage roasting furnace through which carbon dioxide passes, and roasting is performed. The partial pressure of carbon dioxide is 0.03~0.3MPa, the roasting temperature is 300~800℃, and the holding time is 30min~120min, completing fluorine and phosphorus fixation and pre-reduction of metal oxides. As shown in Figure 2 In this step, under the CO2 atmosphere, the reducing agent in the roasting reaction is lithium battery negative electrode sheet graphite. Through the Boudouard reaction of graphite and carbon dioxide to generate CO, the lithium hexafluorophosphate electrolyte in the battery black powder can be decomposed into lithium fluoride and phosphorus pentafluoride through calcination, and the structure of the battery positive material, such as the layered structure of the ternary lithium battery, can be destroyed, and the high-valence oxides of Co and Mn can be reduced to low-valence oxides. During the roasting process, carbon dioxide reacts with calcium oxide to form calcium carbonate first. As the roasting temperature rises, the electrolyte begins to decompose and generate phosphorus pentafluoride. Phosphorus pentafluoride hydrolyzes to generate POF3 and HF, and reacts with calcium carbonate and unreacted calcium oxide to complete the resource recovery of phosphorus and fluorine.
