机械力化学强化含钴动力电池正极废料选择性回收的机理研究

In this research, mechanochemical enhancement is proposed to improve the recycling efficiency of spent lithium-ion batteries for electric vehicles by increasing the leaching selectivity of lithium. The recycling process of spent lithium-ion battery can be shortened by adjusting the physiochemical properties of the leaching solution and mass transfer intensification. In the process of mechanochemical activiation, the relationship between the mineralogy as well as the energy storage, passivation process and selective leaching of lithium will be investigated to subsequently understand the thermodynamics; the leaching kinetics of cathode waste is investigated for different leaching parameters including pH, ion activities, temperature, solid-to-liquid ratio with which the correlation between selective recovery of lithium and physiochemical properties of the leaching solution can be derived. By using in-situ observation the dissolution behavior of particles of cathode waste and the mass transfer coefficient can be obtained quantitatively. Together with understanding the structure and properties of the product layer, leaching selectivity and recovery rate of lithium can be both improved by mechanochemical processing during leaching. As a result, systematic understanding of the mechanical-chemical enhancement of selective lithium recovery process can be achieved and a new method for clean recovery of spent lithium-ion battery can be implemented.
