Method for selectively recovering valuable metal in waste lithium battery

Abstract

The present disclosure belongs to the field of lithium ion battery recovery and discloses a method for selectively recovering valuable metals in waste lithium batteries. The method includes the following steps: adding a sulfur-containing compound to waste lithium battery for calcination and water leaching to obtain lithium carbonate solution and filter residue; adding sulfuric acid and an iron-containing compound to the filter residue for leaching, performing solid-liquid separation, and taking solid phase to obtain manganese dioxide and graphite residue; extracting and reverse extracting liquid phase from the solid-liquid separation to obtain nickel cobalt sulfate solution and manganese sulfate solution. The method of the present disclosure selectively extracts lithium in waste ternary cathode materials by calcination and water leaching, and realizes selective low manganese leaching based on the principle that divalent manganese can reduce the high oxide of nickel and cobalt in the leaching stage.
