The application discloses a method for producing battery-grade trimanganese tetraoxide by using electrolytic
manganese anode slime, and production is carried out according to the following method: (1) electrolytic
manganese anode slime is broken and then dried; (2) the electrolytic
manganese anode slime is mixed with a flux, and is roasted in a tubular furnace until the reaction is complete; the manganese
sulfate is leached out by deionized water at
room temperature, and is filtered to obtain leached manganese
sulfate crude liquid and leaching residue; (3) a purifying
reagent is added to the manganese
sulfate crude liquid for purification; (4)
ammonium bicarbonate is added to convert the manganese sulfate into manganese
carbonate; the manganese
carbonate is filtered to obtain manganese
carbonate precipitate and
ammonium sulfate solution; the manganese carbonate precipitate is calcined to obtain trimanganese tetraoxide; and the trimanganese tetraoxide is crushed, sand-ground, washed and dried to obtain battery-grade trimanganese tetraoxide. The manganese
recovery rate can reach more than 99.3%, the
energy consumption and cost are lower, and the problems of resource waste and environmental
pollution caused by the manganese anode slime of electrolytic manganese manufacturers are solved.
