The application provides a method for preparing
lithium iron phosphate by using waste
lithium isooctanoate catalyst, and comprises the following steps:
grinding and sieving the waste
lithium isooctanoate catalyst to obtain lithium isooctanoate
powder; mixing the lithium isooctanoate
powder with water, adding concentrated
hydrochloric acid to perform leaching reaction to obtain leaching
slurry; filtering the leaching
slurry to obtain filtrate and residue; adding
activated carbon to the filtrate to perform adsorption and
filtration, then adding HCl and FeCl3·6H2O to stir, and controlling the pH of the solution to be 1.0-1.5 to obtain an aqueous phase; uniformly mixing
tributyl phosphate and sulfonated
kerosene to obtain an organic phase; mixing, oscillating, standing and separating the aqueous phase and the organic phase to obtain an extraction phase and a
raffinate phase; washing the extraction phase by using dilute
hydrochloric acid to remove impurities, adjusting the
molar ratio of P, Fe and Li in the extraction phase after
impurity removal, adding a
carbon source to obtain mixed
slurry; performing
spray drying on the mixed slurry, and performing high-temperature
sintering, crushing and screening on the
powder obtained by
spray drying to remove iron, so as to obtain
lithium iron phosphate. The application scheme realizes resource recycling and utilization, and the prepared product has high quality and low cost.
