  • Publication number: 20230052068
    Abstract: A method for disassembling and separating a waste lithium-ion battery comprises: directly tearing a battery pack or a cell of the waste lithium-ion battery with water and electricity without discharging after removing a housing, then performing first wet screening, directly performing wet degumming without drying after recovering an electrolyte and removing iron by magnetic separation, then performing first crushing with water, third wet screening and second crushing with water after performing second wet screening, and finally performing jigging separation to obtain copper powder, aluminum powder, positive and negative electrode materials, plastic powder and separator pulp.

  • Publication number: 20230050044
    Abstract: A comprehensive recycling method for a waste lithium iron phosphate battery relates to a waste lithium ion battery recycling technology, and particularly comprises: first selectively extracting lithium, and then using a lithium extraction residue to prepare iron phosphate, the using the lithium extraction residue to prepare the iron phosphate comprising: adding the lithium extraction residue to water to form a slurry, adding hydrochloric acid and stirring to react, so that iron is completely dissolved, performing solid-liquid separation, on the basis of iron and phosphorus contents of the obtained liquid, adding trisodium phosphate or ferric chloride, and then adding a sodium hydroxide solution to precipitate crude iron phosphate; and then performing reverse three-stage washing to remove impurities to obtain a battery iron phosphate product. The problem of environmental protection is solved and meanwhile, all of the valuable elements are recycled, and a relative cost is greatly reduced by about 25%.

  • Publication number: 20220166079
    Abstract: A manganese-lithium separation process and a pre-extraction solution preparation process in comprehensive recovery of ternary battery wastes, and a method for comprehensive recovery of cobalt, nickel, manganese and lithium elements from the ternary battery wastes, relates to a method for recycling battery wastes. According to the present disclosure, cobalt and nickel ions are separated from an impurity-removed solution by a hydrolysis method; manganese, lithium and other ions in the impurity-removed solution are free from an extraction procedure, so that most manganese ions are separated and removed by a wet method before extraction, to prevent the manganese ions from entering the extraction system; nickel ions are free from an extraction procedure of full extraction and full back-extraction; and nickel hydroxide is directly precipitated after related impurities are removed by extraction.
