The invention discloses a method for recycling
lithium, iron and
current collector-
aluminum foil in a positive
electrode material of a waste
lithium iron phosphate battery. The method comprises the steps that firstly, the positive
electrode material of the waste
lithium iron phosphate battery is arranged in an alkaline solution to be subjected to stirring and ultrasonic treatment, and after a
lithium iron phosphate positive
electrode mixed material completely disengages from
aluminum foil, the
aluminum foil is directly recycled after being separated from the alkaline solution; then the
lithium iron phosphate positive electrode mixed material is filtered and separated out from the alkaline solution and then is subjected to
roasting, ball milling and screening; then the
lithium iron phosphate positive electrode mixed material is immersed in acid liquor to be dissolved, the pH value is adjusted, the iron element is deposited in the form of
iron phosphate, and filtering and separating are conducted; the filter liquor is continuously adjusted to the
neutralization, then
phosphate is added, and the lithium element is deposited in the form of
lithium phosphate. The method is simple and effective, the main elements of iron, lithium and
current collector-aluminum foil in the positive
electrode material of the waste lithium iron
phosphate battery can be effectively recycled, the recycling rate is high, low-concentration acid liquor and low-concentration alkaline liquor are adopted, secondary
pollution is not generated, the valuable elements are all recycled, and
atom economy is achieved.
