The invention belongs to the technical field of
manganese compound preparation methods, and particularly relates to a method for preparing battery-grade
manganese carbonate by using waste
manganese liquid. The method comprises the steps of pretreatment of waste manganese liquid, extraction separation, reverse extraction
recovery and preparation of manganese
carbonate. According to the core technology, a
ternary compound organic extraction
system composed of di (2-ethylhexyl)
phosphoric acid (P204), sec-octyl
alcohol and trioctyl
phosphate (TOPO) or N-octyl pyridone (
NOP) is adopted, in the
system, P204 serves as a main extraction agent and is matched with a synergistic ligand TOPO or
NOP to enhance the selectivity, a
diluent sec-octyl
alcohol is used for improving the compatibility, co-extraction of
impurity ions such as Fe < 3 + > and Cu < 2 + > can be remarkably inhibited through the synergistic effect of P204, sec-octyl
alcohol and the like, and the extraction efficiency is improved. And the manganese extraction purity and efficiency are improved. After two-stage countercurrent reverse extraction treatment, manganese ions are enriched in a water phase, and manganese
carbonate crystals with uniform particle size and relatively high purity are prepared through a
sodium carbonate
precipitation method. The method realizes high-value
recovery of valuable metals in the waste liquid, is green and efficient in process, and is suitable for waste battery
recovery and battery material manufacturing industry.
