The invention discloses a method for extracting
lithium by using
lithium ion battery electrode material original
halide, which comprises the following steps: S01, mixing a
lithium ion battery electrode material, water and a lithium removal agent according to a
mass ratio of 1: (10-50): (0.1-5), reacting at 20-90 DEG C for 1-72 hours, and treating to obtain lithium-poor
electrode powder I; s02, mixing the
powder I, an activating agent and
salt lake raw brine according to the
mass ratio of 1: (0.1-15): (3-200), and reacting for 1-100 hours at the temperature of 5-80 DEG C to prepare a lithium-rich
electrode material; and S03, the lithium-rich
electrode material is subjected to lithium removal according to the step S01, a lithium-rich solution and a lithium-poor
electrode material are obtained through separation, and the lithium-poor
electrode material can be recycled in the step S02. According to the method, the
ion screening characteristic of an
electrode material crystal structure is creatively utilized, vacancy defects are formed through controllable lithium removal so as to enhance lithium
ion adsorption kinetics, and meanwhile, a selective lithium
transmission channel is constructed by means of
transition metal valence regulation and control. Compared with a traditional process, efficient extraction of lithium resources is achieved. The process has the advantages of being
environmentally friendly, low in cost and high in lithium adsorption efficiency, is suitable for the scene of extracting lithium from the
salt lake original brine with different components, can promote directional migration and adsorption of lithium ions through the valence state regulation reaction of the electrode material, and provides an innovative technical scheme for extracting lithium from the
salt lake original brine.
