Description

A method of recycling valuable element from waste and old lithium ion battery
Technical field
The present invention relates to recycling of WEEE processing, resource technology field, and in particular to a kind of from applying waste lithium ionic The method of valuable element is recycled in battery.
Background technique
Since the nineties in last century, lithium ion battery is widely used in various portable electronic products, such as digital phase Machine, laptop etc..In recent years, the demand cumulative year after year with people to environmental protection, China start the new energy of large-scale popularization Also there is explosive growth in source automobile, and power resources of the lithium ion battery as new-energy automobile, application.However, It is the small-scale lithium ion cell in portable electronic product or the power battery in new-energy automobile, the service life is limited.Quotient It is typically less than the number of 1000 times with lithium ion battery is recyclable.Therefore, the large-scale application of lithium ion battery also implies that largely The generation of waste and old lithium ion battery.The environmental problem and resource reutilization problem caused by waste and old lithium ion battery is increasingly severe. Therefore, valuable element is recycled in cleaning from waste and old lithium ion battery at low cost has very important economic value and environmentally friendly valence Value.
Valuable element in waste and old lithium ion battery is concentrated mainly among positive electrode, and positive electrode mainly includes anode Active material (LiCoO2, LiMn2O4,LiNixCoyMn1-x-yO2,LiNixCoyAl1-x-yO2Deng), collector (aluminium foil), bonding agent (PVDF) and conductive agent (acetylene black).The process that valuable element is recycled from positive electrode can be roughly classified into the pre- of positive electrode Two steps of extraction of processing and valuable element.For pre-treatment step, difficult point is the height of active material and collector Effect separation.Currently, the method industrially used is mainly heat treating process, the decomposition temperature of bonding agent PVDF 450~600 DEG C it Between, research shows that heat treatment temperature can be obtained at 600 DEG C optimal separating effect (Hydrometallurgy, 2016,165, 390-396;Journal of Hazardous Materials, 2011,194,378-384), therefore, locate in advance at 600 DEG C Reason, can be such that positive electrode active materials efficiently separate with collector.Such as patent application CN200910304134, at 400 DEG C~600 DEG C Anaerobic roasting, is destroyed bonding agent, to realize efficiently separating for active material and collector.High temperature pretreatment means pre- Although efficiently separating for active material and collector may be implemented in the high energy consumption for the treatment of process, therefore, high temperature preprocess method, but Also increase the totle drilling cost of recovery method and the complexity of method.
For the leaching step of valuable element, difficult point is that active material configuration is highly stable, it is necessary to destroy its structure Just it is able to achieve the leaching of valuable element.Transition metal element in active material is generally in higher valence state (>+2), and in solution The stable state of middle transition metal element is+divalent, and therefore, the method for destroying active material configuration essentially passes through redox Reaction, makes the chemical valence of transition metal element lower (≤+ 2), to achieve the purpose that destroy active substance crystals structure.Activity The restoring method of transition metal element in substance can be divided into two classes: before reducing agent reduction and Ore Leaching are added during Ore Leaching It is restored using carbothermic method.
It for sulfuric acid+mass percent of 2~4mol/L is 30% that Chinese patent CN200910304134, which uses concentration, H2O2, the extraction that transition metal element realizes valuable element is restored in sulfuric acid solution.Due to needing to consume a large amount of H2O2, so that The cost of this method greatly improves.In addition, in the leaching process, valuable element Li and transition metal element enter acid molten together In liquid, during subsequent extracted and separation transition metal element, the entrainment of Li element is inevitable, its rate of recovery is made to be difficult to protect Card.
Compared with H2O2Reduction method, carbon thermal reduction rule are widely studied because reducing agent cost is cheaper.Chinese patent CN201610479966 carries out reduction treatment to positive active material before leaching using carbothermic method, to avoid leaching H in journey2O2Consumption.In this method, select the carbonaceous materials such as lignite, bituminous coal, anthracite as reducing agent, at 500~750 DEG C Down so that LiNixCoyMn1-x-yO2In transition metal element be reduced to simple substance Ni, simple substance Co and MnO respectively.It is delivered from it It is found that reduction temperature needs to reach 650 DEG C in article (Journal of Power Sources, 2017,351,192-199.) Satisfied reduction effect can be reached.Positive and negative anodes pole piece is not sorted in Chinese patent application 201711268988.X, is directly utilized Carbon in cathode pole piece restores the transition metal element in cathode pole piece, to avoid the consumption of reducing agent in leaching process. It is this kind of whether to use cheap lignite etc. or directly use the graphite in waste and old lithium ion battery cathode pole piece as reduction The method of agent, due to the limitation of carbothermic reduction reaction, the amount of allocating of reducing agent carbon usually needs significantly excessive, the temperature of reduction process It is also required to reach 600 DEG C or more the effective reduction for being just able to achieve transition metal element.This kind of pyroreaction not only needs to consume greatly The energy is measured, also more stringent requirements are proposed to equipment needed for reaction process.In addition, carbon thermal reduction product is CO2Have with CO etc. Evil gas, this proposes extra demand to the gas emission treatment of removal process again.In addition, in carbothermic reduction process Li mainly with Sl. sol. Li2CO3Form exists, if CO need to be passed through using pressurization by thinking individually to extract2Gas can be realized, keep extraction process complicated Change.
To sum up, there is positive electrode active materials for the recycling of valuable element in current waste lithium ion cell anode material Matter and collector separation process are complicated, and the rate of recovery of valuable element lithium is low and removal process is complicated, leaching process needs largely disappear The problems such as reducing agent or carbothermic reduction process temperature high energy consumption are big, there are toxic noxious gas emissions is consumed, these all restrict The economic cleaning recycling of valuable element in positive electrode.
