Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of waste lithium battery recycling, and specifically relates to a lithium ion battery negative electrode material recycling device. Background Art

[0002] Lithium-ion batteries are the main energy storage devices in the current market, playing an important role in the fields of new energy vehicles and stationary energy storage. Since the service life of lithium-ion batteries is only 5 to 10 years, the recycling and reuse of millions of tons of waste lithium-ion batteries each year in the future has become a top priority. The common structure of waste batteries mainly includes the shell, positive electrode sheet (active material / binder / conductive carbon / aluminum foil), diaphragm, negative electrode sheet (active material / binder / conductive carbon / copper foil) and electrolyte.

[0003] Since the positive electrode active materials contain a large amount of rare and precious heavy metals such as cobalt, nickel, manganese, and lithium, they have become the main research object for recycling and treatment, while there are fewer studies on the recycling of negative electrode materials. The common active material of the negative electrode is graphite, which is also the main component of the negative electrode. Graphite has the characteristics of good conductivity, high degree of crystallization, and good layered structure, which is very suitable for the embedding and extraction of lithium ions during the charging and discharging process. Therefore, graphite also has a very high recycling value. Therefore, the recyclable substances of the negative electrode materials of lithium-ion batteries include copper, graphite, lithium remaining in the gaps of the graphite lattice, and lithium compounds attached to the SEI film.

[0004] In the prior art, mechanical separation methods are commonly used to separate copper. For example, CN202211690537.6 provides a mechanical crushing and kneading method to separate copper foil and graphite. However, this method is usually difficult to obtain relatively pure copper and will also cause the scraped copper powder to be mixed into the scraped powder. Since lithium ions are embedded in the pores of graphite, simple calcination cannot separate the graphite and these lithium ions. Therefore, acid leaching is generally used to separate lithium compounds. The acid leaching method requires a large amount of strong acid to extract the lithium compounds therein. The operation process is dangerous, and the subsequent treatment of the acid solution also has environmental issues. Acid pickling is highly corrosive to equipment and highly polluting.

[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to propose a new device that can be safer, less polluting and at the same time recover copper, graphite and lithium in the negative electrode. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a lithium-ion battery negative electrode material recovery device, aiming to solve the problem of the lack of corresponding devices in the prior art to ensure greater safety, reduce pollution and recover copper, graphite and lithium in the negative electrode.

The principle is that during the use of the lithium-ion battery, lithium ions will be embedded in the negative electrode active material of the negative electrode sheet, that is, in the lattice of graphite, so that the graphite has active lithium, and the active lithium has high reactivity. After the organic alcohol solvent is added, the active lithium reacts with the organic alcohol to obtain an organic lithium compound, which is then separated from the graphite lattice. Then, solid-liquid separation is performed through a solid-liquid separation component to completely separate the organic lithium compound from the graphite, and the lithium element and graphite are recovered respectively.

[0047] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0048] See also Figure 1The utility model provides a new recovery device for negative electrode materials of lithium-ion batteries, which is mainly composed of the following parts: a calcining furnace 1, a copper liquid recovery box 2, a graphite slag transfer channel 3, a reactor 4 and a solid-liquid separation component 5, which are used to recover copper, lithium and graphite in graphite negative electrode materials respectively. The specific structure is as follows.

[0049] The furnace body 110 can be improved by using a conventional electric calcining furnace. The main body is the furnace body 110, and its inner wall is provided with an electric heating plate, which can perform high-temperature calcination on the negative electrode of the lithium-ion battery. A feeding port 111 for putting in the negative electrode of the waste lithium-ion battery is opened above the furnace body 110, and a graphite slag outlet 112 is opened on the side wall, and two switch doors are used to open and close the two ports respectively to ensure the sealing during the calcination process. The bottom wall is removed and replaced with a copper liquid leakage net 120. Specifically, the copper liquid leakage net 120 is made of alloy, is resistant to high temperature, is placed horizontally, and its edge is fixed to the bottom of the furnace body 110 by welding. The top of the copper liquid recovery box 2 is open, and its shape and size are adapted to the furnace body 110, aligned with the bottom of the furnace body 110, and welded as a whole. The copper liquid recovery box 2 can be opened from the side and has a crucible inside. In this process, the temperature in the furnace body 110 is gradually increased until it reaches the melting point of copper. Since the melting points of graphite and alloys are much higher than that of copper, the copper foil in the negative electrode material is melted first and flows through the copper liquid leakage net 120 to the crucible of the copper liquid recovery box 2 below. The substances after calcination are graphite slag and lithium ions in the graphite lattice, which are pushed to the graphite slag outlet 112 by the propulsion assembly 130 and enter the graphite slag transfer channel 3.

The organic alcohol will combine with the lithium ions in the graphite lattice to generate organic lithium. Through this reaction, the graphite and lithium ions are separated, and the lithium element is extracted from the graphite slag. The organic alcohol can be an organic substance containing hydroxyl groups, such as alkyl alcohol. This part is existing knowledge and will not be repeated here.

[0051] After the graphite slag fully reacts with the organic alcohol solvent, it enters the solid-liquid separation component 5 through the discharge port 413 of the kettle body 410 for solid-liquid separation, so as to separate the solution containing organic lithium from the solid graphite, and recover the lithium element and graphite respectively.

[0054] Specifically, the slide rail 430 is a grooved slide rail, the bottom of which is welded to the outer wall of the kettle body 410 , and the edge of the groove shrinks inward to form a snap-in. One end of the connecting rod 520 is rotatably connected to a universal ball 521 through a pin shaft, and the ball body of the universal ball 521 is snap-fitted into the slide rail 430 .

[0055] Specifically, the active component 551 is a gear, the output shaft of the driving motor 540 is vertically upward, the axle of the gear is welded to the output shaft of the driving motor 540, and the driven component 552 is a gear ring, which is sleeved and welded on the outer wall of the graphite recovery barrel 510, and the gear and the gear ring are in a meshing state.

[0056] Specifically, a liquid outlet is provided at the lower end of the side wall of the organic lithium recovery barrel 530 for recovering a solution containing organic lithium, and the bottom and side wall of the graphite recovery barrel 510 can be opened and closed by a lock or other structure for recovering graphite in the barrel.

[0057] To further improve the technical solution, the solid-liquid separation component 5 also includes an electric heating net 560, which is attached to the bottom of the graphite recovery barrel 510 and provides an additional drying function. The separated graphite can be dried at the bottom of the graphite recovery barrel 510, so that the final product is dry graphite powder, which is convenient for subsequent processing.

[0058] Specifically, the propulsion assembly 130 includes a telescopic cylinder 131 and a slag pushing plate 132.

[0060] In order to further improve the technical solution, an exhaust gas purification device (not shown in the figure) may also be included. An exhaust port is provided on the side wall of the furnace body 110 and connected to the exhaust gas purification device. The exhaust gas purification device is used to purify the high-temperature gas generated by calcining the plastic shell and membrane of waste lithium-ion batteries in the electric furnace body 110, thereby further removing the pollution that may be generated by the utility model. The exhaust gas purification device may be a common exhaust gas treatment device such as a spray absorption tower, which will not be described in detail here.

[0063] First, the crushed lithium-ion battery negative electrode is put into the calcining furnace, and the high-temperature calcination is turned on. The temperature gradually rises until the copper melting point is reached. The copper foil in the negative electrode material melts and flows through the copper liquid leakage net into the crucible in the copper liquid collection box below for recovery.

[0064] After the graphite is cooled, the graphite slag on the copper liquid leakage net is pushed to the graphite slag outlet by the propulsion component, and then transported to the reactor via the conveyor belt in the graphite slag transfer channel, and an organic alcohol solvent is introduced.
