The method comprises the following steps: (1) adding a
manganese source, a catalyst and an additive, and introducing
oxygen-containing gas to carry out a reaction, so as to obtain mixed
slurry; (2) carrying out
solid-liquid separation to obtain a mother solution and a
solid product, and carrying out post-treatment on the
solid product to obtain battery-grade manganous-manganic
oxide; and (3) adjusting the pH value of the
mother liquor to 7-11, carrying out solid-liquid separation to obtain and treat a manganous-manganic
oxide product, and recycling the
mother liquor as a base solution or process water in the step (1). The method adopts a basic
pH regulation-
precipitation method to recover
manganese and purify the
mother liquor, greatly reduces equipment investment and
daily operation and maintenance cost, does not need to depend on other processes for absorption, is short in process flow, clear and easy to control
control parameters, is easy to implement and popularize on an existing
production line, realizes closed-loop circulation of water, and is suitable for industrial production. New
water consumption and
wastewater discharge are greatly reduced, the
green production requirement is met, and the produced product has good morphology and tap density.
