Description

Device and method for regenerating lithium ion battery electrode material
Technical Field
The invention relates to a device and a method for regenerating an electrode material of a lithium ion battery.
Background
In the times that the market scale of new energy products is gradually increased, the annual output of lithium ion batteries in China reaches hundreds of billions, but the waste lithium ion batteries after long-time use are difficult to treat and cannot be reused, the waste lithium ion batteries contain a large amount of heavy metals (iron, nickel, cobalt, copper, aluminum and the like), and meanwhile, a large amount of organic waste liquid (electrolyte and the like) is contained in the batteries, so that irreversible damage is easily caused to the environment, and the separated waste electrode materials cannot be reused. At present, in the recovery method for lithium iron phosphate and the ternary battery with the largest market scale, after the electrode material is mainly separated by ultrasonic in solution, the electrode material is recovered by using a high-temperature solid phase method or a chemical separation method, the steps are complicated, the environment is damaged, and the electrochemical performance of the recovered electrode material is low. The main problems of the prior art are as follows:
high-temperature solid phase method: when the method is used for recovering the anode material (lithium iron phosphate, ternary material and the like), the anode material needs to be calcined for multiple times in different gas atmospheres: calcining in an oxidizing gas atmosphere to remove a conductive agent and a binder in the electrode material, and then supplementing salts containing iron, nickel, cobalt, manganese and lithium after determining the proportion of the material elements and calcining in inert gas atmosphere at different temperatures for multiple times; when the negative electrode material (such as graphite) is recovered, the negative electrode material needs to be calcined at multiple stages and different temperatures in an inert gas atmosphere to remove elements such as lithium, iron and the like, a binder and electrolyte in the graphite;
the technical problem of the high-temperature solid phase method is as follows: the high-energy consumption heating and heat-preservation calcining functions are realized, the high-purity inert gas is used for protection, and the electrochemical performance of the product is low due to the change of the crystal structure of the material caused by the continuous high temperature;
chemical separation method: when the positive electrode material is recovered, the positive electrode material (lithium iron phosphate, ternary material and the like) is dissolved by strong acid, impurities in the material are removed, then strong base is used for precipitation, and calcination and forming in an inert gas atmosphere are needed after ball milling; the negative electrode material (graphite, etc.) needs to be subjected to impurity separation by strong acid, and is subjected to ball milling and drying after being washed for multiple times;
the technical problem of the chemical separation method is as follows: the method needs to use a large amount of acid and alkali for recovery, generates a large amount of waste liquid, causes secondary damage to the environment, is long in time consumption (dissolution, precipitation and recrystallization), and has low electrochemical performance
Disclosure of Invention
In order to solve the problems, the following invention concepts are proposed: applying direct current to two ends of the waste electrode material to perform instantaneous large-current direct current discharge, utilizing the poor conductor characteristics of the waste electrode material to generate joule heat inside, and instantaneously heating to a certain temperature to volatilize impurities in the electrode material. (instantaneous high energy impact).
The invention has the following conception characteristics:
1. instantaneous ultra-high energy impurity removal
The method of chemical reduction (change of internal bond energy) or high-temperature thermal reduction (continuous application of thermal energy) is used for removing electrolyte, a passivation film and redundant dead lithium in the waste electrode material by volatilization or acid-base reaction.
2. The reaction product with instant ultrahigh energy recovery has low impurity content, no change in crystal structure and good electrochemical performance
No medium, acid and alkali solution are introduced, thus fundamentally solving the problems of solid-liquid separation, drying, generation of waste liquid and the like; because the reaction temperature is distributed uniformly, impurities are removed more completely, and the conductivity is high; the reaction of controlling a certain temperature can keep good electrochemical performance without changing the crystal structure of the material.
3. The instant ultrahigh energy reaction allows the reduction reaction to be carried out in the atmosphere of normal pressure air without oxygen-free environment protection
The transient high temperature reaction that occurs under a transient (second-order) high energy strike enables the reduction of the reactant species to be accomplished without any reaction with oxygen in the air, thus eliminating the need for oxygen-free protection in an inert gas or vacuum environment.
4. Compared with the traditional high-temperature thermal reduction method, the energy consumption of the instant ultra-high energy impact is reduced
Because the reaction is completed instantly, heat is mainly transferred in the material in a black body radiation mode, and the reduction process is nearly adiabatic reaction, the heat loss is extremely small, and the energy consumption is ultralow compared with the traditional high-temperature reduction process of long-time temperature rise and heat preservation;
the following key technical problems need to be solved for realizing the conception of the invention
1. Obtaining instantaneous ultrahigh energy;
it is difficult to obtain instantaneous ultra high energy that satisfies the requirements of the inventive concept in the prior art. The realization of ultra-high energy usually needs ultra-high power electric appliances, but the traditional ultra-high power electric appliances can not achieve instantaneous energy release in practical application, and only can continuously apply high energy to materials, such as: the long-time high-voltage treatment at two ends of the material can heat the material or convert electric energy into heat energy through a high-temperature resistor to generate energy, and the like, so that the aim of reducing the stacking of the graphene oxide layers by ultra-short-time heat treatment cannot be fulfilled, and the energy consumption cannot be reduced; the ultrahigh energy instantaneously released by a high-power electric appliance cannot be accurately released or controlled through a program, and not only accurate reduction but also safe production cannot be realized in production.
The instant ultra-high energy required in the inventive concept is the instant high energy generated by the high current passing through the material when the circuit is switched on. Considering that current propagation can occur at the moment of circuit connection, the speed can reach 300000km/s, the most direct mode can be that an industrial high-power supply is used for carrying out instant electrification on a reaction substance, but the reaction circuit is connected to a power grid in such a mode, the power grid is easy to damage by instant high current, and due to the high resistance of the reaction substance, the high-voltage direct-current power supply and the high-voltage power grid which are about one hundred thousand volts are needed for realizing the instant high-temperature current of thousands of amperes, and a high-voltage resistant relay is needed for connecting a switch, so that the cost is immeasurable; it is also a way to achieve large current spread by momentary short-circuiting, but each short-circuiting reaction causes irreversible damage to the circuit.
Through repeated tests and modification of the technical scheme, the following technical achievements are obtained: the reaction is carried out by utilizing the characteristic of instantaneous discharge of the capacitors, instantaneous high-current discharge is generated by adopting a mode of connecting a plurality of capacitors in series and in parallel, ultrahigh energy is generated, and the reaction can be carried out in the atmosphere of normal pressure air without oxygen-free protection under the inert gas atmosphere or vacuum environment. The mode of setting up the relay regulates and controls the size of the energy of releasing. The power supply system is composed of a plurality of capacitors in series and parallel connection, the capacitors are charged (or charged in other modes) by using a direct current power supply, the charging voltage and the number selection of the capacitors are controlled by a logic control switch, the charging voltage of the capacitors is consistent by a voltage equalizing circuit, and a protection circuit is added to prevent a large current generated instantaneously from damaging the circuit. The discharge voltage, discharge capacity, discharge time, pulse frequency and the like of the capacitor can be regulated and controlled (or controlled and monitored by using a program circuit such as a singlechip and the like) through a logic control switch or other modes. When the capacitor discharges, the electric energy stored by the capacitor is used for discharging, the reaction system is independent of a power supply system of a power grid, and the reaction system can be connected with the power grid to supplement the electric energy after the discharging is finished, so that the high voltage and instantaneous high temperature and high current during the reaction can not cause any influence on the power grid; the method realizes the reduction of the graphene oxide with different qualities by electric shocks with different energies, and provides an idea for industrial production.
2: a medium for releasing the instantaneous ultra-high energy to the material;
it is difficult to obtain a medium in the prior art that satisfies the instantaneous ultra-high energy release to the material required in the inventive concept. When ultra-high energy is applied to a material by means of a capacitor that momentarily discharges a high current, it is necessary to connect the material to a circuit. If the circuit cable is directly connected to two ends of the material, the problems of short circuit and the like caused by melting of a copper wire of the cable due to high temperature can be caused;
the medium required for releasing the instantaneous ultra-high energy in the inventive concept should be an electrode. But the electrode is melted when ultrahigh temperature is generated instantly, the active reductive metal electrode and the electrode material generate reduction reaction, the material is changed to be active oh enough, and the silkworm feeding electrode is continuously fed; the use of relatively inert metal electrodes results in energy loss in the lines due to excessively high resistivity, and the purpose of ultra-high energy transmission cannot be achieved. Commonly used electrodes include: copper, tungsten, platinum, alloy electrodes, and the like. Copper can enable energy to have no loss basically in the transmission process, but instantaneous high temperature can cause melting of copper, electrodes can be damaged after the copper is used for many times, and the copper is used as metal with strong reducibility, is easy to perform reduction reaction with electrode materials in the reaction process, and introduces metal impurities; the tungsten electrode has a high melting point but a resistivity of 5.48X 10-8Omega m is 5 times of copper, so that energy loss is easily caused; the platinum electrode is used as a noble metal electrode, has a lower melting point and a resistivity close to that of copper, but has high manufacturing cost and is easy to damage at high temperature; the remaining alloy electrodes have related technical problems.
It is therefore a technical challenge to obtain a medium that satisfies the instantaneous ultra-high energy release to the material required in the inventive concept.
Through repeated tests and modification of the technical scheme, the following results are obtained: on the premise of no circuit energy loss, no impurity introduction, electrode recycling, cost control and the like, the graphite rod is adopted at the contact end, and the tail end of the graphite rod is connected with the copper rod to serve as an electrode. Graphite has a low specific resistance as a contact electrode, and can protect the electrode with a small energy loss without introducing metal impurities in multiple reactions. Quartz tube or other high temperature resistant material is selected as a reaction container, two ends of the output line are connected to two ends of the graphite electrode to be used as a reactor, and the tightness degree of the material during reaction is adjusted.
The specific research scheme of the invention is as follows:

the release circuit is set up: IGBT or silicon-controlled module circuit is used as a switch path for releasing energy, a driving power supply is additionally arranged to supply power to the module, and because of the low resistance and high conductivity of electrode materials, a constantan wire connected in series with 0.5 omega is used as a heat-releasable resistor R3Preventing the circuit from short circuiting.
The method for recycling the waste electrode material comprises the following steps:
the method comprises the following steps: processing waste electrode materials by separating from a current collector, then loading a sample into a reactor, connecting a positive graphite rod and a negative stone grinding rod at two ends, and connecting an adjusting material with an electrode in a contact manner;
