The invention discloses a method for recycling
iron phosphate and
graphite from residues obtained after valuable
metal is extracted from waste
lithium battery black
powder. The method comprises the following steps: carrying out alkali solution reaction on ferrophosphorus residues obtained after
lithium is extracted from
lithium iron phosphate black
powder, so that elements such as
phosphorus, aluminum and
titanium are all dissolved in a
liquid phase, and the iron element generates
ferric hydroxide which is left in alkali-soluble residues; the alkali-soluble residues are soaked in an
ammonia complexing solution to remove impurities such as
copper and
nickel, and then are neutralized by an acid solution with relatively low concentration to obtain an iron
salt solution and
graphite carbon residues; oxidizing
roasting, flotation, purification and
drying are carried out on
graphite carbon residues, negative
electrode carbon residues obtained after valuable
metal is extracted from waste ternary
lithium battery black
powder after optional preliminary purification, and
graphite carbon residues obtained after lithium and ferrophosphorus are extracted from current
lithium iron phosphate black powder, so that graphite can be recycled; and acid is added into the alkali
dissolution filtrate to adjust the pH value to 6.0-9.0, and then the temperature is raised to hydrolyze
impurity salts such as aluminum,
titanium and
chromium dissolved out of the
phosphate solution to form hydroxides and
metatitanic acid precipitates to be removed, so that finally, the quality of the
iron phosphate prepared by the method disclosed by the invention is ensured to reach related standards.
