The invention discloses a method for preparing battery-grade
iron phosphate by recovering
lithium iron phosphate battery black
powder, which comprises the following steps of: performing reduction acid leaching on the
lithium iron phosphate battery black
powder to obtain acid leaching liquid; adding
sodium silicate into the acid leaching solution to adjust the pH value of the solution to 2.5-4, removing aluminum and
titanium to obtain a primary
impurity-removed solution, deeply removing aluminum and
titanium from the
impurity-removed solution by adopting
ion exchange resin, and removing
copper and filtering by adopting
sulfide to obtain a
copper-removed solution; supplementing iron is added into the
copper removal liquid, the pH is adjusted to 3.5-6.5,
ferrous phosphate reacts and is separated out, and
ferrous phosphate is obtained; the method comprises the following steps: carrying out acid leaching on
ferrous phosphate to obtain a leaching solution, adjusting the
molar ratio of iron to
phosphorus in the leaching solution, carrying out oxidation
precipitation, adjusting the pH value of the solution again, aging, filtering, washing and
drying to obtain iron phosphate dihydrate, and finally calcining to obtain the
anhydrous iron phosphate. According to the method, a process
route for producing iron phosphate by an
ammonium method is used for reference, iron and
phosphorus in the black
powder of the
lithium iron phosphate battery are recycled and converted into battery-grade iron phosphate in a ferrous phosphate form, impurities such as aluminum,
titanium and copper are effectively removed, and the impurities are prevented from being entrained in the iron phosphate.
