[0002] Lithium-ion batteries are widely used due to their energy storage, rapid charge and discharge, long cycle life, and environmental friendliness. Cathode materials are a key factor in determining lithium-ion battery performance. Currently, lithium cobalt oxide, lithium manganese oxide, lithium iron phosphate, and ternary cathode materials are the main commercially available materials, primarily used in the 3C (3D consumer electronics) industry, power batteries, and energy storage sectors.

[0003] In the production process of lithium iron phosphate, the front-end slurry sand grinding, iron removal and other processes will generate a large amount of wastewater for cleaning magnetic rods and cleaning equipment. The solid components in the wastewater are mainly iron phosphate and lithium carbonate, and the solid components in the wastewater exist in the form of suspension. The existing technology often adopts the treatment method of adding flocculants-plate and frame filtration-digestion-RO membrane filtration for treatment. However, the existing production line has a large amount of iron-discharged wastewater discharge, the sewage treatment station has a high cost, the amount of chemicals used is large, and the recycled wastewater cannot be recycled for use in the production line due to the impurities introduced by the use of chemicals, resulting in serious waste of pure water and materials in the iron-discharged slurry.
