The invention discloses a method for preparing battery-grade
iron phosphate and
lithium carbonate from a waste
lithium iron phosphate battery, and belongs to the technical field of
lithium batteries, the method comprises the following steps: slurrying a waste
lithium iron phosphate positive
electrode material, adding concentrated
sulfuric acid for leaching, adding
sodium sulfite, controlling reaction potential, and carrying out filter pressing after reaction to obtain a
leachate; iron is added into the
leachate to remove
copper, and
copper-removed liquid and
copper slag are obtained after filter pressing; adding
sodium dihydrogen
phosphate into the copper-removed liquid to remove aluminum, and carrying out filter pressing to obtain aluminum
slag and
impurity-removed liquid; adjusting the pH value of the
impurity-removed solution, adding
hydrogen peroxide, reacting to obtain an
iron phosphate dehydrate precipitate and an iron
phosphate mother solution, and treating the iron
phosphate dehydrate to obtain battery-grade
anhydrous iron phosphate; adjusting the pH value of the iron phosphate
mother liquor, carrying out filter pressing to obtain
impurity-removed
slag and a
lithium sulfate solution, adding
sodium carbonate into the
lithium sulfate solution, carrying out heating reaction, filtering
slurry to obtain a
lithium carbonate wet material, and treating to obtain battery-grade
lithium carbonate. According to the method, the problem of recycling the waste
lithium iron phosphate battery material iron phosphate is solved, and comprehensive recycling of the iron phosphate and the lithium material is realized.
