Description

A method of recycling lithium from battery electrode material leachate
Technical field
The invention belongs to from waste lithium ion battery electrode material leachate recycle lithium method, more particularly, to lithium from The method of lithium is recycled in sub- battery ternary material leachate.
Background technique
With the rapid development of lithium ion battery, lithium ion battery captured portable consumer electronics market and Constantly expanded to fields such as New-energy electric vehicles.China has become maximum lithium battery production, consumption in the world today and goes out Mouth state, it is contemplated that the demand to the year two thousand twenty power lithium-ion battery is up to 125Gwh, and learies are up to 2.2Gwh, about 500,000 Ton.By 2023, learies were up to 101Gwh, and about 1,160,000 tons.In short, power battery recycling is concerning safety, pollution, resource Problem also affects the sustainable development of new-energy automobile.The exploitation of recovery technology of spent lithium ion batteries, not only contributes to ring Border protection, there are also biggish economic benefits.
Common anode material for lithium-ion batteries mainly has cobalt acid lithium, lithium nickelate, LiMn2O4, nickel cobalt manganese three currently on the market First positive electrode and LiFePO4 etc..When being recycled these old and useless batterys, generalling use the acid such as sulfuric acid, nitric acid, hydrochloric acid will Valuable metal in electrode material leaches, and the metals such as nickel, cobalt, lithium, copper, manganese, aluminium, iron are contained in leachate.In order to which lithium is recycled, Most of research at present is all after separating nickel, cobalt, copper, manganese, aluminium, the iron in leachate, using carbonate or calcium phosphate precipitation Lithium.Since lithium carbonate solubility product constant is 8.15 × 10-4, in order to improve the rate of deposition of lithium, universal excessive addition sodium carbonate, but sink Lithium in lithium mother liquor is still up to 1.5g/L or so, major impurity CO3 2-、SO4 2-、Na+Plasma is a kind of water of multielement complexity Salt system.Sinker mother liquor system is complicated, and lithium content is relatively low in mother liquor, dry by different kinds of ions in directly use or enrichment process It disturbs, easily introduce impurity or lithium is precipitated, the direct utility value of mother liquor is poor.How low cost carries out improving the lithium rate of recovery, And utilize disposing mother liquor, become the target that everybody constantly pursues.Therefore, a kind of low in cost, environmental-friendly, adaptability is developed The great meaning of technology of lithium is recycled in strong slave waste lithium ion battery electrode material leachate.
Summary of the invention
The purpose of the present invention is to provide a kind of reduction cost recovery, improve the slave applying waste lithium ionic electricity of recycling economic benefit The method of lithium is recycled in the electrode material leachate of pond.
Leachate of the present invention is the isolated nickeliferous, cobalt of waste lithium ion battery electrode material leachate and lithium Solution, wherein nickeliferous 2~20g/L, 2~20g/L of lithium, 2~20g/L of cobalt, aluminium < 0.01g/L, manganese < 0.01g/L, 0.01 < g/L of copper With 0.01 < g/L of iron.
The recovery method of lithium is as follows in waste lithium ion battery electrode material of the invention:
1) by leachate and the saponification acidic phosphorus-containing extractant extraction and separation nickel cobalt of 1:1~5 by volume, the extraction containing lithium is obtained Extraction raffinate;
2) by lithium and carbonate molar ratio 1:0.4~0.6, it is 90 DEG C or more carbonic acid that the raffinate containing lithium, which is added to temperature, In sodium solution, stirs 0.5~3 hour, filter while hot, obtain lithium carbonate and mother liquor of precipitation of ammonium;
3) the resulting mother liquor of precipitation of ammonium of step 2) is mixed into saponification with acidic phosphorus-containing extractant, stirs 0.5~3 hour, obtains It is saponified acidic phosphorus-containing extractant and saponification mother liquor, is saponified acidic phosphorus-containing extractant return step 1) separation nickel cobalt;
4) evaporation step 3) resulting saponification mother liquor, cooled and filtered obtains sulfate crystal and crystalline mother solution, and crystallization is female Liquid is added to raffinate of the step 2) containing lithium and recycles.
Step 1) the saponification acidic phosphorus-containing extractant is phosphorous for the acidity of sodium hydroxide or sodium carbonate saponification 50~90% Extractant.
The acidic phosphorus-containing extractant is one of P204, P507 or Cyanex272 of 0.5~2mol/L of concentration or several The kerosin of kind.
In order to reduce the rate of recovery of lithium and the warp of raising lithium battery recycling in waste lithium ion battery electrode material leachate Ji benefit.It is to try to reduce the element composition of salt-water system according to the purification key problem in technology point of compound;The circulation of mother liquor Using ionic species should be reduced to the greatest extent, make solution based on sulfate.The present invention is to reduce cation type, is contained in saponification acidity When phosphorus extractant, using sodium carbonate or sodium hydroxide, anions in solution is made there was only lithium and sodium.Due to being added in precipitation process Sodium carbonate, causes to contain CO in mother liquor of precipitation of ammonium3 2-, mother liquor of precipitation of ammonium is in evaporation and crystal process, CO3 2-Meeting and Li+Generate precipitating It is precipitated with one piece of sodium sulphate.In order to remove the CO in mother liquor of precipitation of ammonium3 2-, mother liquor of precipitation of ammonium is used for the saponification of acidic phosphorus-containing extractant, Chemical formula is such as: 2HL+Na2CO3→2NaL+H2O+CO2(HL is acidic phosphorus-containing extractant, and NaL is saponification acidic phosphorus-containing extractant), It both can be except the CO in mother liquor of precipitation of ammonium3 2-, while acidic phosphorus-containing extractant saponification required sodium carbonate or hydroxide can also be saved Sodium.
