摘要
LiFePO4/C粉末盐酸浸出液中主要离子为Li+、Fe3+与少量的Cl-,符合TBP萃取Li+必须存在过渡族金属离子与Cl-的理论。探究了TBP萃取Li+的机制以及氯离子供给剂、Fe3+/Li+摩尔比、Cl-浓度与Li+浓度对萃取的影响,得到Li+最佳萃取分离条件。结果表明,以FeCl3+AlCl3为氯离子供给剂,模拟配制酸浸出液中Li+是以[LiFeCl4]·nTBP的络合形式被萃取;TBP萃取Li+的最佳条件为:溶液中Fe3+/Li+摩尔比为1.5、Cl-浓度为5 mol/L、Li+质量浓度为1 g/L;当相比(O/A)为0.5时,在最佳条件下TBP对LiFePO4/C粉末盐酸浸出液中Li+的二级萃取率达到92%以上,以6 mol/L盐酸为反萃剂三级反萃后Li+反萃率约为93%,反萃后有机相中Fe3+等杂质质量分数低于1%。该方法使废旧磷酸铁锂电池中的锂分离率达到83%以上,实现废旧磷酸铁锂电池中金属锂资源再生的目的。
Abstract
To recover lithium metal from cathode active material LiFePO4/C powder in spent lithium iron phosphate batteries,main ions in the hydrochloric acid leaching solution of LiFePO4/C powder are Li+,Fe3+ and a small amount of Cl-,which accords with the theoretical basis that there must be transition metal ions and Cl- when TBP extracts Li+.The mechanism for TBP to extract Li+,and the influences of chloride iron supply agent,Fe3+/Li+ molar ration,Cl- concentration and Li+ concentration on extraction are explored,and the optimal extraction separation conditions for Li+ are obtained.Study results show that using FeCl3+AlCl3 as chloride ion supplier,Li+ in the simulated acid leaching solution is extracted in the complex form of [LiFeCl4]·nTBP.The optimal extraction conditions for TBP to extract Li+ are as follows:the molar ratio of Fe3+/Li+ in the solution is 1.5,Cl- concentration is 5 mol·L-1,the mass concentration of Li+ is 1 g·L-1.When the ratio of organic phase and aqueous phase (O/A) is 0.5,under the optimal conditions,the secondary extraction rate of Li+ in LiFePO4/C powder hydrochloride acid leaching solution by TBP exceeds 92%;Stripping rate of Li+ is around 93% after three-stage of stripping with 6 mol·L-1 hydrochloride acid as stripping agent,and the mass fraction of impurities such as Fe3+ in the organic phase is less than 1% after stripping.This method enables the separation rate of lithium from spent lithium iron phosphate battery to exceed 83%,achieving the regeneration of lithium resources in spent lithium iron phosphate batteries.
