The wet process is a common method for recovering waste lithium ion batteries, and dissolves elements such as nickel, cobalt, manganese and lithium in the lithium ion batteries in a leaching solution through links such as pretreatment, leaching and the like, but in the actual operation process, impurity metal ions such as iron, copper and the like also enter the leaching solution, so that nickel, cobalt and manganese solutions cannot be directly used for manufacturing new anode materials.
At present, extraction method and precipitation method are commonly used for removing impurity ions of iron and copper in the leaching solution. The solvent extraction method is simple to operate and good in separation effect, but a large amount of organic waste liquid is generated in the process. The precipitation method is simple to operate, the precipitator is low in price, and the removal rate of iron and copper is low. In the literature (PENG, fangwei, et al, impurity removal with high selectivity and efficiency methods and the recycling of metal from lithium-ion batteries, RSC advances,2019,9.38, 21922-21930), to remove the impurity ions iron, aluminum, copper in lithium-ion battery leachate, the authors will adjust the pH of the leachate to 3.5 with NaOH solution and remove Fe (III); then NH 3 ·H 2 0 is buffer solution, and the pH value of the solution is increased to 5.25 of impurities to remove Al (III); finally, a great amount of Cu (II) ions are removed with high selectivity by using an electrodeposition technology, and the residual Cu (II) ions are removed by using N902 as a solvent for extraction.
