The invention relates to the technical field of resource recycling and high-value utilization of
lithium ion batteries, in particular to a technology for generating, recycling or refining
metal through an electrolytic method. The invention discloses a method for synthesizing a
manganese ferrite magnetic material from a waste
lithium manganese iron phosphate positive
electrode material. The method comprises the following steps: preparing waste
lithium manganese iron phosphate positive
electrode powder, an organic binder and a
solvent into
slurry, and
coating the surface of a
titanium mesh with the
slurry to obtain a positive plate; constructing an electrolytic tank by taking a blank
titanium mesh as a negative
electrode and a NaOH
aqueous solution as an
electrolyte, carrying out electrolytic leaching to obtain Li and P elements, concentrating the
electrolyte, supplementing a
phosphorus source, and adjusting the pH value to recover
lithium phosphate; the method comprises the following steps: ultrasonically separating
ferromanganese /
graphite remained on a
titanium mesh, acidizing and dissolving, filtering to remove
graphite, adding
citric acid into filtrate for gelation, and subsequently calcining to obtain the
manganese ferrite magnetic material. According to the method, efficient leaching of Li and P is achieved through electrochemical treatment, Mn and Fe are synchronously converted into high-
crystallinity manganese ferrite in a high-valued mode, and the method has the advantages of being
environmentally friendly, low in consumption and capable of achieving all-element closed-loop
recovery.
