Description

Method for fully recycling electrolyte of waste lithium ion battery
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of lithium ion batteries, in particular to a method for completely recovering electrolyte of a waste lithium ion battery.
Background
With the global energy crisis and the aggravation of environmental pollution, the development and application of new energy are imperative. Lithium ion batteries have been rapidly developed since commercialization in the 90 s of the 20 th century. Compared with the traditional chemical battery, the battery has the advantages of light weight, small volume, high voltage, high specific energy, wide working temperature range, high specific power, stable discharge, long storage time, no memory effect, no pollution and the like. At present, lithium ion batteries have been widely used in portable electronic products such as mobile phones, digital cameras, notebook computers, and the like, and have shown wide application prospects in Electric Vehicles (EV), Hybrid Electric Vehicles (HEV), and energy storage systems, and are known as "green secondary batteries in the 21 st century". According to the forecast of the China automobile technology research center, the accumulated scrappage of the power battery of the electric automobile reaches 12-17 ten thousand tons in 2020, and serious environmental pollution is caused if the power battery is not properly treated. At present, the recovery of waste lithium ion batteries is mainly focused on anode and cathode materials and current collectors, and the research on the recovery of electrolyte is few. The electrolyte generally comprises lithium salt, an organic solvent and an additive, wherein the lithium salt is mainly lithium hexafluorophosphate, the organic solvent mainly comprises a carbonate solvent, and the additive content is low. The existence of lithium hexafluorophosphate enables the electrolyte to be in contact with the external environment for reaction, a large amount of pollutants are generated, and important influence is brought to the safety of people and the environmental problem. Meanwhile, the electrolyte has high added value, and how to reasonably recover the electrolyte is a problem worthy of deep research.
The existing recovery methods of lithium ion battery electrolyte comprise an alkali liquor absorption method, a vacuum distillation method and an extraction method. Patent CN 108666644A adopts Ca (OH)2Reaction with spent electrolyte of lithium ion battery, Ca2+React with fluoride ions in the electrolyte to generate CaF2And then, a multi-stage manganese fiber adsorption column and a titanium fiber adsorption column are adopted to carry out physical directional adsorption on lithium ions, so that fluorine and lithium in the electrolyte are recovered, the fluorine and lithium can be recycled, and the environmental pollution can be reduced. Although the method can reduce the pollution of fluorine to the environment and recover lithium resources, the method does not recover the carbonate organic solvent and the additive in the electrolyte and directly adds Ca (OH) into the waste electrolyte2The solution can destroy the organic solvent and the additive, and cause resource waste. Patent CN 109292746A mixes old and useless lithium cell book core with organic solvent, enables the positive negative pole material and the diaphragm of battery and organic solvent fully to contact, then under the ultrasonic action, transfers the lithium hexafluorophosphate that adheres in positive negative pole material, diaphragm and electrolyte to the mixed organic solvent of acetonitrile and carbonic ester, and then realizes that the high efficiency of lithium hexafluorophosphate returnsAnd (6) harvesting. Although the method can effectively recover the lithium hexafluorophosphate, the lithium hexafluorophosphate is unstable and easy to decompose, has high requirements on the breaking-in and enrichment processes, and increases the process cost.
At present, the treatment of the waste lithium ion battery electrolyte in the industry is calcination cracking treatment after heating evaporation, the cracking of an organic solvent needs high-temperature calcination treatment and energy consumption, ethylene carbonate, propylene carbonate, an additive and the like contained in the electrolyte have higher values, and the direct calcination is contrary to the strategy of sustainable development advocated by the state. Therefore, how to efficiently and feasibly recover lithium salt, fluorine and phosphorus in the waste electrolyte for recycling after harmless treatment, and not to damage the structures of the organic solvent and the additive is a difficult problem facing the lithium ion battery industry.
