摘要:

鋰元素的回收是電池回收工藝中的關(guān)鍵步驟，目前一般采用濕法浸出技術(shù)將有價(jià)元素從鋰電池黑粉中轉(zhuǎn)移到溶液中，然后經(jīng)過(guò)除雜凈化得到精制的硫酸鋰溶液，加入碳酸鈉制備成工業(yè)級(jí)碳酸鋰或者碳酸鋰粗品，再經(jīng)精制除雜得到碳酸鋰產(chǎn)品返回電池生產(chǎn)過(guò)程。隨著氫氧化鋰市場(chǎng)需求的提高，如何將碳酸鋰經(jīng)濟(jì)高效地轉(zhuǎn)化為氫氧化鋰也成為重要環(huán)節(jié)。針對(duì)電池回收產(chǎn)生的工業(yè)級(jí)碳酸鋰轉(zhuǎn)化為氫氧化鋰的工藝過(guò)程，詳細(xì)分析了不同工藝路線的原料選擇、工藝過(guò)程、產(chǎn)品及副產(chǎn)品產(chǎn)出以及能源消耗等關(guān)鍵因素，通過(guò)對(duì)比不同工藝路線的優(yōu)劣勢(shì)，總結(jié)出不同企業(yè)狀態(tài)適用的工藝路線，旨在為優(yōu)化生產(chǎn)流程、提高回收產(chǎn)業(yè)鏈附加值提供有價(jià)值的參考。研究結(jié)果將有助于指導(dǎo)電池回收企業(yè)在選擇氫氧化鋰生產(chǎn)工藝時(shí)作出決策，同時(shí)也為鹽湖提鋰和礦石提鋰產(chǎn)生的碳酸鋰生產(chǎn)氫氧化鋰提供借鑒。

Abstract:

The recovery of lithium is a crucial step in battery recycling. Currently, wet leaching technology is commonly employed to extract valuable elements from the black powder. This process involves impurity removal and purification, resulting in a refined lithium sulfate solution. Carbonic acid is subsequently added. Sodium is used to produce either industrial-grade lithium carbonate or crude lithium carbonate. The resulting lithium carbonate undergoes further refinement to remove impurities, creating a product suitable for battery production. Given the growing demand in the lithium hydroxide market, the cost-effective and efficient conversion of lithium carbonate to lithium hydroxide has become increasingly important. This study centers on the conversion process, transforming lithium carbonate obtained from battery recycling into lithium hydroxide. The analysis covers critical factors, including raw material selection, process routes, product and byproduct yields, and energy consumption across various process options. Through a comparison of advantages and disadvantages, suitable process routes for different company states were summarized, aims to offer valuable insights for optimizing production and adding value to the recycling industry chain. This study can serve as guidance for battery recycling companies when choosing lithium hydroxide production methods. Furthermore, it serves as a reference for producing lithium hydroxide from lithium carbonate obtained via extraction from salt lakes and ores.
