Description

Recycling method of graphite anode material of waste lithium ion battery
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of lithium ion battery material recovery, and particularly relates to a recovery and regeneration method of a graphite anode material of a waste lithium ion battery.
Background
With the rapid development of new energy industries, lithium ion batteries have been widely used in various fields. Meanwhile, the scrappage of the batteries is increased year by year, and the waste batteries are recycled from the aspects of resource circulation and environmental protection. However, at present, hot spots and emphasis of lithium battery recovery are focused on positive electrode materials with higher recovery values, and the technology is still immature for the recovery of negative electrode materials. The components of the cathode waste residue after the cathode material is recovered and extracted by the battery are complex, the main component is graphite, the output is large, and the regeneration and recovery of the cathode waste residue are expected to generate more values.
In the prior art, for example, CN116435635a, graphite negative electrode waste is subjected to heat treatment, two-step acid dissolution treatment and electrochemical treatment in sequence to adsorb residual metal ions. However, the operation of adsorbing metal ions from dispersed graphite is difficult, the feasibility is poor, the electrochemical method is difficult to use on a large scale in industrial production, and the practicability is not high. CN116282000a sequentially adopts water-soluble carbonate solution to carry out microwave transformation treatment on graphite carbon slag separated from waste batteries, acid leaching separation is carried out, and finally heat treatment is carried out in an oxygen-containing atmosphere, so that the regenerated graphite is prepared. But this solution requires a heat treatment with an oxygen-containing atmosphere comprising nitric acid, hydrofluoric acid vapour. The treatment scheme is complex, the types of acid are more, the harm of nitric acid and hydrofluoric acid is larger, and the economic value is lower. CN115954572a sequentially performs oxidative roasting, inorganic acid leaching, organic liquid phase coating and graphitization on the waste graphite negative electrode powder to obtain a regenerated negative electrode. However, the impurity removal in the scheme is only carried out by oxidizing roasting and acid leaching, and the impurity removal effect is general. And the industrialization of the organic solvent treatment and the high energy consumption of the graphitization process in the liquid phase coating are also limited.
In summary, the above scheme generally has the problems that the impurity removal effect is general and the industrialization is difficult to realize.
The method for treating the graphite by alkali fusion is a method which is simple in industrialization realization and good in impurity removal effect, and as disclosed in patent CN112320794A, the graphite after pretreatment impurity removal and the composite alkali are subjected to fusion deep impurity removal treatment at low temperature, and then acid leaching is carried out to obtain the deep impurity removal recovered graphite. However, in the patent, the composite alkali is melted at a lower temperature (180-300 ℃) to form a eutectic compound for deep impurity removal, so that solvent leaching and screening grading pretreatment are needed before alkali melting to improve the alkali melting effect, the treatment process is complex, and the structure of the recovered graphite is not repaired. Patent CN116040626a discloses a method for purifying reduced pressure alkali-melted graphite, which comprises the steps of sequentially carrying out reduced pressure alkali leaching and heating on graphite powder in sodium hydroxide solution, and carrying out reduced pressure alkali-melted roasting and acid leaching treatment to obtain purified graphite. However, in the method, acid leaching adopts one or more of hydrochloric acid, nitric acid and sulfuric acid, the difference between different acid leaching treatments is not disclosed, and meanwhile, the treatment object is raw graphite powder, and the repairing treatment is not carried out on the structure of the recovered graphite from the waste lithium ion battery.
The graphite cathode material of the lithium ion battery is subjected to repeated charge and discharge, the graphite surface is exposed, the graphite structure is irregular, the fragmentation is serious, and the electrochemical influence is large. The graphite whose structure is destroyed can be repaired by performing the carbon coating treatment. However, the prior art generally has the problems that the carbonization temperature is higher (more than 900 ℃) and the shape of graphite after carbonization treatment cannot be controlled, so that the corresponding performance cannot meet the use requirement.

As is clear from the results of examples 1 to 10 in Table 1, when the acid or alkali concentration is too low, the impurity removal effect is not complete, and aluminum remains much. When the concentration of the acid or the alkali is too high, the graphite structure is damaged to a certain extent, which is unfavorable for the subsequent repair process, and the circulation performance is reduced. The high-concentration alkali has high viscosity, increases the risk of impurity separation, has a certain corrosion risk on equipment due to high-concentration hydrochloric acid, has high water consumption, and is not beneficial to industrialized implementation. As can be seen from the comparison between examples 11-13 and example 1, the softening point of the petroleum asphalt has a significant effect on the cycle performance of the obtained recycled graphite negative electrode, and too high or too low softening point can cause the cycle performance to be reduced, so that the petroleum asphalt can achieve better cycle performance when the softening point of the petroleum asphalt is in the range of 250-280 ℃. As can be seen from the comparison between examples 14 to 19 and example 1, the effects of potassium hydroxide, sodium carbonate, potassium carbonate, sodium hydroxide and combinations thereof are similar, and the alkaline solution has more optional species.
As can be seen from the comparison of comparative example 1 with example 1, a good aluminum removal effect cannot be achieved without an alkali melting process, and the recovered graphite has an excessively high aluminum content and causes a significant decrease in electrochemical properties. As can be seen from the comparison of comparative example 2 with example 1, the absence of the coating treatment with petroleum pitch resulted in a significant decrease in the electrochemical performance of the recycled graphite negative electrode. Meanwhile, the comparison of the comparative examples 3-4 and the example 1 shows that the aluminum removal effect of hydrochloric acid is better than that of sulfuric acid and nitric acid under the condition of alkali melting, and the reason is that chloride ions in the hydrochloric acid are more easily coordinated with metal ions, the metal chloride is more easily dissolved, the impurity removal effect is better than that of other acids such as sulfuric acid and nitric acid, and the electrochemical performance of the finally recovered graphite anode material is better.
Comparative example 5
In this comparative example, the calcination temperature was 300℃under nitrogen in the alkali fusion process of step (1) in comparison with example 1, and the other conditions were identical.
According to detection, the aluminum content in the recovered graphite material of the comparative example is 5174.27ppm, the initial gram capacity of the assembled buckling is 317.53mAh/g, the initial cycle coulomb efficiency is 85.64%, and the capacity retention rate after 100 cycles of 0.1C is 85.61%.
From the above results, it can be seen that when the alkali fusion calcination temperature is low, the alkali and alumina do not start to react, and only part of the elemental aluminum can be removed. And the electrochemical performance of the obtained recycled graphite anode material is obviously reduced.
Comparative example 6
In this comparative example, the calcination atmosphere in the alkali fusion process in the step (1) was air, and the other conditions were the same.
According to detection, the aluminum content in the recovered graphite material of the comparative example is 6837.42ppm, the initial gram capacity of the assembled and buckled battery is 310.38mAh/g, the initial cycle coulomb efficiency is 83.37%, and the capacity retention rate after 100 cycles of 0.1C is 84.89%.
From the above results, it is clear that the simple substance of impurities is easily converted into oxides, especially aluminum, without alkali fusion calcination under inert conditions, and the difficulty of impurity removal is increased.
Comparative example 7
Compared with the comparative example 1, the spheroidizing and shaping process of the step (4) is omitted, and the coated graphite of the step (3) is directly ground and crushed and screened by a 300-mesh screen to obtain the recycled graphite anode material.
Through detection, the initial gram capacity of the assembled and buckled graphite cathode material of the comparative example is 351.85mAh/g, the initial cycle coulomb efficiency is 92.04%, and the capacity retention rate after 100 cycles is 92.15%.
From the above results, it was found that the graphite material was not spheroidized and had a morphology that was not uniform and a tap density of 1.12g/cm 3 Lower than commercial graphite standard, and has poor cycle performance.
The above examples are preferred embodiments of the present invention, but the embodiments of the present invention are not limited to the above examples, and any other changes, modifications, substitutions, combinations, and simplifications that do not depart from the spirit and principle of the present invention should be made in the equivalent manner, and the embodiments are included in the protection scope of the present invention.
