With the application of lithium ion batteries, a large number of discarded lithium ion batteries with the expired service cycle need to be safely, environmentally and efficiently treated every year. The recovery of the waste lithium batteries has great practical significance on the sustainable development of new energy, the recovery work of the waste lithium batteries can reduce the influence of the waste lithium batteries on the environment, resources can be saved, the production cost of the batteries is reduced, and great economic benefits are generated.
Since lithium battery recycling is a new industry that has emerged in recent years, past production practices and technological accumulation are almost blank. In recent years, domestic technicians continuously apply for a plurality of patents for recycling waste lithium batteries, for example, a Chinese patent with the application number of 201410354162.5, and the scrapped positive electrode of the lithium iron phosphate battery is disassembled into a lithium iron phosphate electrode and a graphite plate electrode, the lithium iron phosphate electrode and the graphite plate electrode are placed into an electrolytic cell and added with electrolyte for electrolysis, so that lithium ions are separated from the electrolyte and enter the electrolyte, and then the electrolyte is concentrated to extract lithium salts. The method is feasible in principle and difficult to implement in practice, and in practice of disassembling the lithium battery, most of the positive plates containing lithium iron phosphate are basically damaged in the disassembling, packaging and transporting processes, so that the lithium iron phosphate electrode plates cannot be obtained from waste lithium batteries, and the method has the advantages of huge energy consumption for electrolyzing and concentrating lithium-containing solution, is not feasible economically and cannot be applied to production fundamentally.

In the methods, high-temperature roasting is used in the step of separating lithium iron phosphate from an aluminum current collector, in the process of high-temperature roasting, due to the fact that a fluorine-containing oily binder PVDF exists in a pole piece, and substances such as a plastic diaphragm and a carbonate solvent are mixed in the pole piece, during high-temperature roasting, the substances can generate fluoride and carcinogenic dioxin gas, so that the environment is seriously polluted and the human body is seriously influenced.
Aiming at a series of problems encountered in the production practice of lithium extraction of the anode of the waste lithium iron phosphate battery, the continuous research and improvement are carried out in the production practice, the low-temperature electric heating, rubbing, separating, screening and cyclone separating of lithium iron phosphate powder and aluminum particles of the waste lithium iron phosphate anode plate are established, the lithium iron phosphate powder is directly leached by dynamic circulation of sulfuric acid, and after solid-liquid separation of leachate, iron removal, aluminum removal, phosphorus removal and filtration are carried out on the solution, calcium and magnesium are removed by adding caustic soda into the filtrate, and then the simple process flow of precipitating lithium carbonate by adding sodium carbonate after concentration is carried out.
