The invention relates to a method of performing oxidation treatment on waste
lithium ion batteries, and belongs to the technical field of environment. The method comprises the following steps of adding waste
lithium ion battery
powder into an acidic water solution to obtain mixed
slurry; inputting oxidizing gas to the mixed
slurry with an aerating device, and performing oxidizing leaching; after areaction is completed, regulating the pH of the reaction
slurry with an acid regulating
reagent to remove few valuable
metal ions in lixivium, and then performing
solid-liquid separation to obtain
lithium-enriched purifying liquid and reaction
tailings; and then performing lithium sinking and
solid-liquid separation on the purifying liquid so as to obtain
lithium carbonate products or
lithium phosphate products. Through the adoption of the method disclosed by the invention, through an
aeration means, under a milder condition, high-selectivity extraction of lithium elements in the waste lithium
ion batteries is realized; the reaction process is green and clean, simple and easy to operate, and wide in application range; and the lithium extraction rate is 85% or above, and the extracting selectivity is 95% or above, so that the problem that in a conventional
processing method, lithium resources cannot be economically and effectively recovered can be solved from the source.
