The invention discloses a method for extracting
lithium from waste
lithium iron phosphate, and belongs to the technical field of recycling treatment of waste
lithium ion batteries. A method for extracting lithium from waste
lithium iron phosphate comprises the following steps that S1, aluminum and waste
lithium iron phosphate are mixed and subjected to ball milling in a high-energy
ball mill, and materials are evenly mixed and subjected to a mechanochemical reaction; s2, uniformly mixing the ball-milled material with water, and filtering for the first time to obtain a first filtrate and a
filter cake; s3, heating, evaporating, concentrating and
drying the first filtrate; and S4, carrying out heat treatment on the dried
solid, adding water, uniformly mixing, carrying out secondary
filtration, heating, evaporating and
drying the obtained second filtrate to obtain
lithium carbonate. According to the method for extracting the lithium from the waste
lithium iron phosphate disclosed by the invention, on the basis of a mechanochemical method,
metal aluminum is used as a
reducing agent, and the
recovery of the
lithium metal element in the waste lithium
iron phosphate material is successfully realized through a mechanochemical reaction.
