Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cobalt chloride recovery technology, specifically to a cobalt chloride and hydrochloric acid recovery device, especially a device for recovering cobalt chloride and hydrochloric acid in the new energy battery or battery recycling industry, particularly a high-purity, energy-saving recovery device for cobalt chloride and hydrochloric acid in a cobalt chloride-hydrochloric acid system solution, which is particularly suitable for mixed solutions containing cobalt chloride and hydrochloric acid obtained by hydrochloric acid leaching and hydrochloric acid back-extraction. Background Technology

[0002] Hydrochloric acid leaching, as an important hydrometallurgical technique for battery recycling, exhibits significant advantages in metal recovery efficiency and selective leaching due to its unique chemical properties. However, it also faces challenges such as environmental management and equipment corrosion. Leaching efficiency is the most prominent advantage of the hydrochloric acid process. Hydrochloric acid, with its strong acidity and chloride ion complexing ability, demonstrates excellent dissolution performance for valuable metals in lithium-ion battery cathode materials. Lithium cobalt oxide (LiCoO2) is a prime example. 2) For example, using 4 mol / L hydrochloric acid at 80°C, the cobalt leaching rate can reach 99% within 1 hour, while under the same conditions, the sulfuric acid system, even with the addition of H2O2 as a reducing agent, requires 2 hours to achieve a 95% leaching rate. Selective leaching capability is another significant advantage of the hydrochloric acid system. By precisely controlling the hydrochloric acid concentration and temperature, stepwise leaching of different metals can be achieved, which is particularly important when processing complex battery materials. Overall, the hydrochloric acid leaching process is particularly suitable for the recovery of high-value-added cobalt materials, especially in scenarios where the product is positioned in chloride or metallic form.

[0003] However, the hydrochloric acid system has some inherent drawbacks that limit its development. In terms of equipment materials, the cobalt chloride solution contains excess hydrogen chloride, which requires stringent material selection, such as titanium, Hastelloy, and graphite. Hydrogen chloride gas in the evaporation and crystallization system causes a large temperature rise in the compressor, resulting in high energy consumption. The generated hydrogen chloride condensate has a low concentration and is difficult to discharge; if it is neutralized before discharge, it produces waste salt that is difficult to utilize.

[0052] Example 2

[0053] Those skilled in the art can understand this embodiment as a more specific description of Embodiment 1.

[0054] This embodiment provides a high-purity, energy-saving recovery device for cobalt chloride and hydrochloric acid in a cobalt chloride-hydrochloric acid system solution, comprising:

[0055] Raw material tank 1 stores raw materials and materials returned from downstream, and is equipped with liquid level detection and temperature detection.

[0056] Pretreatment component 2, three-stage filtration: sand filter (for suspended solids), multi-media filter, security filter, activated carbon (for adsorbing organic matter), precision filter (for removing particles), and one or more combinations of ultrafiltration membrane modules. Used to remove particulate matter, colloids, organic matter, inorganic scale, microorganisms, etc.

[0057] Membrane module 3 includes a combination of nanofiltration module, cobalt chloride reverse osmosis module, hydrochloric acid reverse osmosis module, etc. The nanofiltration module is used to separate cobalt chloride and hydrochloric acid, the cobalt chloride reverse osmosis module is used to concentrate cobalt chloride, and the hydrochloric acid reverse osmosis module is used to concentrate hydrochloric acid.

[0058] The nanofiltration unit includes: a high-pressure pump, a nanofiltration membrane module, a cleaning device, a storage and collection device, and a control system. The control system monitors operating parameters including: transmembrane pressure (TMP), membrane flux, conductivity, pH, and temperature. Extractant residue adsorbed on the membrane surface causes a decrease in flux, initiating the cleaning process; an automatic cleaning program is triggered when the flux decreases to 70% of its initial value or the TMP increases by 50%. The high-pressure pump provides a transmembrane pressure of 0.5 MPa to 3 MPa.

[0059] The solution to be nanofiltration is transported to the inlet of the high-pressure pump via pipeline. The outlet of the high-pressure pump is connected to the inlet of the nanofiltration membrane module via a pressure-resistant pipeline, providing sufficient pressure to force the liquid through the nanofiltration membrane. The product water outlet of the nanofiltration membrane module is connected to the storage and collection device. The cleaning device is connected to the inlet, product water outlet, and concentrate outlet of the nanofiltration membrane module via branch pipes, forming an independent cleaning loop. The control system monitors parameters at each stage using various sensors and connects to the high-pressure pump, cleaning pump, valves, and other equipment via controllers to achieve automatic adjustment.

[0060] The nanofiltration unit can be a single-stage or two-stage nanofiltration system. When the Co concentration of the feedstock is too high and the Co recovery rate of the first-stage nanofiltration is below 95%, the second-stage nanofiltration is activated to ensure the Co recovery rate. Conversely, if the first-stage nanofiltration can meet the Co recovery rate requirements, the second-stage nanofiltration is not activated. The concentrate produced by the nanofiltration unit is an enriched cobalt chloride solution, which enters the downstream reverse osmosis unit for further concentration or is directly used for evaporation and concentration.

[0061] Nanofiltration membranes are special separation membranes suitable for strongly acidic environments (such as pH=0 to 2), and can be made of materials such as polysulfonamide composites, sulfonated polyethersulfone, polysulfone, and inorganic ceramics.

[0062] The cobalt chloride reverse osmosis module includes: a high-pressure pump, reverse osmosis membrane modules, a cleaning device, a storage and collection device, a control system, and an energy recovery system. The control system monitors operating parameters including transmembrane pressure (TMP), membrane flux, conductivity, pH, temperature, and concentrate reflux ratio. The control system integrates pressure, flow, and conductivity sensors to achieve fully automated operation and fault diagnosis. An automatic cleaning program is triggered when the flux decreases to 70% of its initial value or the TMP increases by 50%. The cobalt chloride concentration ratio is 2–3 times. The resulting concentrated cobalt chloride solution enters the evaporation and concentration module, and the permeate enters the recycled water storage tank. The high-pressure pump provides a transmembrane pressure of 3 MPa–6 MPa.

[0063] The solution to be reverse osmosis enters the inlet of the high-pressure pump. The outlet of the high-pressure pump can be connected to the high-pressure inlet of the energy recovery system via a pressure-resistant pipe. The high-pressure outlet of the energy recovery system is connected to the inlet of the reverse osmosis membrane module. The permeate outlet of the membrane module is connected to the storage and collection device. The concentrate outlet of the membrane module can be connected to the low-pressure inlet of the energy recovery system to recover residual pressure in the concentrate. The cleaning device can be connected to the inlet, permeate, and concentrate outlets of the membrane module via branch pipes to form an independent loop. The control system can monitor the parameters of each node through various sensors and connect to the high-pressure pump, energy recovery device, valves, cleaning pump, etc., through a controller to achieve automatic adjustment.

[0064] Reverse osmosis components are special separation membranes suitable for strongly acidic environments (such as pH = 0-2). Materials that can be selected include polysulfonamide composites, surface-coated piperazine amides or propylene-alkyl polyamides, and inorganic ceramics.

[0065] The heat recovery component 4 includes an indirect heat exchanger, which is in the form of a plate or tube, and can recover the heat from the condensate of the evaporator and the heat from the feed liquid for heating the feed liquid entering the evaporator.

[0066] Evaporator 5, preferably an MVR evaporator, with an evaporation temperature of 75℃~85℃ and a concentration endpoint of 1.4g / cm³. 3 ~1.6g / cm 3 The corresponding CoCl2 concentration is 54–55%. In terms of equipment configuration, a falling film evaporator (first stage) → forced circulation evaporator (second stage) is used to achieve efficient heat transfer.

[0067] Cooling crystallizer 6, density reaches 1.5 g / cm³ 3 Pump water into the crystallization vessel and maintain the temperature above 85℃ (to prevent premature crystallization). The cooling process consists of three stages: natural cooling, controlled cooling, and constant temperature stabilization. Natural cooling starts from the initial temperature to 70℃-80℃. Controlled cooling uses circulating cooling water to reduce the temperature from 70℃-80℃ to 32℃. The cooling rate should be 7℃ / h-10℃ / h.

[0068] Stirrer 7 adjusts its speed according to the crystallization stage, such as high speed for mixing in the initial stage and low speed for protecting the crystals in the growth stage.

[0069] For solid separator 8, the selection should take into account both corrosion resistance and separation efficiency. PTFE or ceramic lining can be selected, and a variable frequency speed control motor should be used, which can not only save energy but also adjust the speed according to the particle size, thereby adjusting the separation factor.

[0070] Dryer 9, optionally a vibrating fluidized bed dryer, where wet materials are fluidized under the drive of a vibrating motor. Hot air (60℃~150℃) penetrates the bed for efficient heat transfer, and the moisture content after evaporation is ≤0.5%. The parts in contact with the material are lined with SUS316L stainless steel and PTFE. The inlet air temperature is adjustable from 60℃ to 150℃ to prevent CoCl3 decomposition.

[0071] Reclaimed water storage tank 10 is used to store evaporation condensate and permeate from the reverse osmosis unit's concentrated cobalt chloride solution.

[0072] Hydrochloric acid storage tank 11 is used to store hydrochloric acid separated by nanofiltration.

[0073] Pure water membrane module 12 is a reverse osmosis membrane module. The evaporation condensate and the permeate from the concentrated cobalt chloride in the reverse osmosis module contain trace amounts of chloride ions and Co ions. After passing through this module, it can be made into compliant reusable pure water.

[0074] The pure water membrane module 12 includes a multi-media filter, activated carbon adsorption, heavy metal pretreatment, precision filtration, a high-pressure pump, a reverse osmosis membrane, a cleaning device, a storage and collection system, a control system, and an energy recovery system. The control system monitors operating parameters including transmembrane pressure (TMP), membrane flux, conductivity, pH, temperature, and concentrate reflux ratio. The control system integrates pressure, flow, and conductivity sensors to achieve fully automated operation and fault diagnosis. The generated concentrate enters the feed tank for reuse. The reverse osmosis membrane can be made of sulfonated polyamide modified membrane or polyester chlorine-resistant membrane material. The high-pressure pump provides a transmembrane pressure of 1.5 MPa to 3.5 MPa.

[0075] In this embodiment, after pretreatment, nanofiltration membrane separation, and concentration using a reverse osmosis membrane module, hydrochloric acid is removed, cobalt chloride is concentrated, and the solution enters evaporation concentration, followed by cooling crystallization to obtain high-purity cobalt chloride. Simultaneously, hydrochloric acid is separated before evaporation concentration, ensuring that the material entering the subsequent crystallization unit is free of free hydrochloric acid, reducing the requirements for equipment specifications and the energy consumption of subsequent evaporation. Furthermore, the hydrochloric acid can be recycled to upstream back-extraction or leaching units, saving wastewater treatment costs. The apparatus in this embodiment also includes a condensate-to-pure water membrane module to recover pure water for use in upstream units.

[0076] The apparatus of this embodiment is suitable for a mixed solution containing cobalt chloride and hydrochloric acid obtained by hydrochloric acid leaching and hydrochloric acid back-extraction. This cobalt chloride solution contains 0.5 mol / L to 2 mol / L (pH≈1 to 2) of hydrochloric acid.

[0077] In this invention, after pretreatment, nanofiltration membrane separation, and concentration by reverse osmosis membrane module, hydrochloric acid is removed, cobalt chloride is concentrated, the solution is then concentrated by evaporation, and finally cooled and crystallized to obtain high-purity cobalt chloride.
