The application discloses a method for treating black
powder of waste
power battery.
Lithium is preferentially extracted from the black
powder through high-pressure leaching, and
lithium sulfate solution and
lithium extraction residue are generated. The
lithium extraction residue is subjected to acid leaching to obtain leaching solution. The leaching solution is subjected to organic extraction containing
carboxylic acid extractant, and iron, aluminum and
copper are sequentially separated and recovered. The
raffinate after
copper separation is subjected to P204
manganese extraction, P507
cobalt extraction and C272
magnesium extraction in sequence, and
manganese sulfate solution,
cobalt sulfate solution,
magnesium sulfate solution and
nickel sulfate solution are obtained. Compared with the prior art, lithium is extracted through high-pressure leaching, SO2
tail gas is eliminated from the source, high-temperature
roasting is not needed, and the method is clean and efficient. Meanwhile, iron, aluminum,
copper and
magnesium removed as
hazardous waste in the traditional process are converted into by-products such as
iron sulfate, aluminum sulfate, electrodeposited copper and magnesium sulfate through
carboxylic acid extraction, and high-value resourceization of
impurity elements is realized. The method has the advantages of high valuable
metal yield, low cost, green
environmental protection and the like, and realizes efficient
resource utilization of
nickel,
cobalt, lithium, iron, aluminum and copper in the black
powder of the waste
power battery.
