At present, the quantity of retired power lithium ion batteries is huge, wherein the proportion of the retired lithium iron phosphate batteries is always more than 70%. Since lithium iron phosphate batteries contain valuable but harmful substances such as positive electrodes, negative electrodes, electrolytes, separators, binders (PVDF), etc., it is the focus of current research to employ appropriate recycling techniques to utilize the valuable components therein.
The economic value of the waste lithium iron phosphate positive electrode powder in the retired battery is higher, and the method is the key point of recycling the battery. The recovery and regeneration process of lithium element is simpler, and more mature technologies exist, but the recovery and treatment technology of iron and phosphorus needs to be further improved. Iron and phosphorus recovery is generally realized through acid dissolution and neutralization precipitation, but impurities such as aluminum, copper, nickel, magnesium, zinc, calcium and the like can be jointly separated out along with iron phosphate precipitation to influence the purity of iron phosphate products, so that the recovery of high-purity iron phosphate from waste lithium iron phosphate positive electrode powder is always a difficult point in the process of recycling waste lithium iron phosphate.
CN102610813a discloses a method for removing impurities in lithium iron phosphateThe method is to soak the carbon-coated lithium iron phosphate material in inorganic acid solution with pH value of 3.5-8.0 without damaging LiFePO 4 The Fe in the alloy dissolves Fe simple substance, feO and Fe 2 O 3 、Fe 2 P and other impurities, removing the organic impurities by using an organic solvent such as NMP/ethanol and the like, filtering, and calcining and decarbonizing at 400-600 ℃ to achieve the effect of effectively removing impurities. However, the impurity removal process is only aimed at carbon powder and Fe impurities, and has no obvious effect of removing common impurities such as Al, cu and the like in the raw materials, and has poor universality.
CN103086341a discloses a method for preparing battery grade ferric phosphate from ferrophosphorus, which refers to a method for obtaining ferric phosphate by leaching ferrophosphorus, performing operations such as recrystallization, membrane filtration, carbon adsorption, complexation concealment and the like on filtrate to remove impurity elements such as silicon, manganese, calcium, magnesium, potassium and sodium, and then inducing crystallization. The method can effectively obtain the high-purity ferric phosphate product, but has more impurity removal procedures and complex flow.
CN107902637a discloses a method for producing high-purity ferric phosphate, which uses industrial ferrous sulfate as raw material, and after dissolving, removing impurities, oxidizing Fe (ii) therein, and precipitating high-purity ferric phosphate. The method mainly comprises three times of impurity removal, wherein the first impurity removal is to adjust the pH of the solution, add soluble sulfide for continuous reaction, add flocculant after the reaction is finished, remove heavy metal (Zn) 2+ 、Cu 2+ 、Pb 2+ 、Hg 2+ Etc.) impurities; adding fluoride into the filtrate to remove calcium and magnesium impurities; and the third impurity removal is to add phosphoric acid into the secondary filtrate to form ferrous phosphate colloid in the system to adsorb trace heavy metal precipitate and fluoride precipitate in the solution. The method has complex impurity removal process and can generate a large amount of heavy metal solid wastes.
Therefore, there is a need to develop a method for recovering a high-purity iron phosphate product from a waste lithium iron phosphate positive electrode powder containing impurities in practice, which has the advantages of simple process flow, low treatment cost, less treated waste and small influence on environment.

TABLE 1
TABLE 2
As can be seen from tables 1 and 2:
the crude iron phosphate in examples 1 to 3 was subjected to secondary acid leaching and secondary heat-preserving self-precipitation to obtain a high-purity iron phosphate having a substantially reduced impurity content of 44ppm or less, 45ppm or less copper, 42ppm or less nickel, 45ppm or less magnesium, 38ppm or less zinc, and 40ppm or less calcium.
For reasons of economy, the impurity content data in the crude iron phosphate and the high purity iron phosphate in examples 4 to 7 and comparative examples 1 to 3 are not shown.

TABLE 3 Table 3
Purity (%) Recovery (%)
Example 1 99.92% 94%
Example 2 99.91% 92%
Example 3 99.93% 92.5%
Example 4 99.96% 87%
Example 5 99.94% 88%
Example 6 99.92% 81%
Example 7 99.92% 94%
Comparative example 1 99.92% 93%
Comparative example 2 99.89% 94%
Comparative example 3 99.10% 70%
From Table 3, the following points can be seen:
(1) Comprehensive examples 1-7 show that the purity of the high-purity ferric phosphate obtained by the method for recovering the high-purity ferric phosphate from the waste lithium iron phosphate anode powder can reach more than 99.91 percent, and the recovery rate can reach more than 80 percent;
(2) It can be seen from the combination of examples 1 and examples 6 to 7 that the hydrogen peroxide solution in step (2) of example 1 was used in an amount 1.0 times the theoretical amount thereof, and that the high-purity iron phosphate in example 1 was 99.92% in purity and 94% in recovery, and the high-purity iron phosphate in examples 6 to 7 was the same as in example 1, but the recovery of the high-purity iron phosphate finally obtained was reduced to 81% and the recovery of the high-purity iron phosphate in example 7 was 94% in comparison with the hydrogen peroxide solution in examples 6 to 7 which was 0.8 times and 2.4 times the theoretical amount thereof, respectively, since the divalent iron ions in the leachate was not completely oxidized in example 6, but the waste of the hydrogen peroxide solution was caused; therefore, the hydrogen peroxide solution in the step (2) is further preferably used in a specific range, so that the recovery rate of the high-purity ferric phosphate is improved, and the recovery treatment cost is saved;
(3) It can be seen from the combination of example 1 and comparative examples 1 to 2 that the temperature of the primary acid leaching in step (1) of example 1 is-10 ℃, compared with the temperatures of the primary acid leaching in comparative examples 1 to 2 of-30 ℃ and 30 ℃ respectively, the temperature in comparative example 1 is lower, the leaching of metallic aluminum mixed in the waste lithium iron phosphate positive electrode powder can be inhibited, the purity of the high-purity iron phosphate is 99.92%, the recovery rate is 93%, but the too low temperature condition can bring more refrigeration load, the recovery cost is increased, and the purity of the high-purity iron phosphate in comparative example 2 is slightly reduced to 99.89%; therefore, the method controls the temperature of acid leaching to be between 20 ℃ below zero and 25 ℃, and the obtained high-purity ferric phosphate has high purity, high recovery rate and low recovery treatment cost;
(4) As can be seen from a combination of example 1 and comparative example 3, sulfuric acid solution H in step (3) of example 1 + At a concentration of 12mol/L, compared with sulfuric acid solution H in step (3) of comparative example 3 + At a concentration of 1mol/L, the sulfuric acid solution H in step (3) was used in comparative example 3 + The concentration is too low, and the crude ferric phosphate is difficult to dissolve, so the purity of the obtained high-purity ferric phosphate is reduced to only 99.1 percent, and the recovery rate is greatly reduced to 70 percent; it is thus shown that the present invention controls H in the second acid solution + The concentration is 4-36 mol/L, and the high purity ferric phosphate finally obtained can be realized with high purity and high recovery rate.
In conclusion, the method for recycling the high-purity ferric phosphate from the waste lithium iron phosphate positive electrode powder provided by the invention has the advantages that the purity of the high-purity ferric phosphate is more than or equal to 99.9%, the recycling rate is more than 80%, the process flow is simple, the treatment cost is low, and the method is suitable for large-scale popularization and application.
