摘要:
Provided is a method for efficiently recovering metals from lithium ion battery waste while reducing the use of sodium hydroxide as a pH adjuster. A method for recovering metals from lithium ion battery waste includes wet processing of leaching metals containing lithium from lithium ion battery waste with an acid, and extracting the metals from the metal-containing solution in which the metals are dissolved, in which the lithium extracted in the wet processing is used as a pH adjuster used in the wet processing.

The invention relates to a method for purification of a cobalt containing feed solution from impurity metals by processing the feed solution through a continuous counter-current ion exchange process comprising of several beds containing cationic ion exchange material arranged in interconnectable zones 1, 2, 3 - N in a simulated counter-current moving bed arrangement, wherein each bed is interconnectable with two adjacent beds, the method comprising: (a) introducing a desorbent solution, which has sufficiently low pH that impurity metals are desorbed, into one or more beds of the first, regeneration zone (zone I) and collecting an extract containing impurity metals from the same bed and/or from another bed downstream within the said regeneration zone, (b) introducing a wash solution of pH higher than the desorbent solution into one or more of said beds of the regeneration zone and collecting an extract containing impurity metals and desorbent from the said bed and/or from another beds downstream within the first, regeneration zone, (c) introducing an aqueous eluent of pH sufficiently low to desorb Co but sufficiently high not to desorb impurity metals into one or more beds of zone downstream (zone II) to said regeneration zone, (d) introducing the cobalt containing feed solution, which has pH sufficiently high to adsorb impurity metals but sufficiently low to avoid adsorbing Co, into one or more beds of the next zone downstream (zone III) from the zone of step (c) and collecting a cobalt product raffinate solution from the said bed and/or from another beds downstream, wherein the positions where the cobalt containing feed, eluent, desorbent, and wash solution are introduced and where the impurity metals containing extract, spent wash solution, and cobalt containing raffinate are collected are changed to adjacent beds downstream to simulate the counter-current flow of the solid and liquid phases after such periods of time that cobalt propagates downstream with fluid phase in zones II and III, impurity metals propagate upstream with the simulated flow of the solid phase in zones II and III, impurity metals are desorbed in zone I, and the desorbent is washed from the resin in zone I.

Disclosed herein is a method for easily and efficiently removing manganese from an aqueous acidic solution of sulfuric acid containing cobalt and manganese at low cast to obtain a high-purity cobalt sulfate aqueous solution usable as a raw material for lithium ion secondary batteries. The high-purity cobalt sulfate aqueous solution is obtained by mixing an aqueous acidic solution of sulfuric acid containing cobalt and manganese (aqueous phase) with an acidic organic extractant (organic phase) while adjusting the pH of the aqueous acidic solution of sulfuric acid to a value in a range between 2 and 4 with a pH adjuster such as sodium hydroxide to extract manganese into the organic phase. The acidic organic extractant to be used is preferably diluted so that the concentration of di-2-ethylhexyl phosphate is 10 to 30 vole.
摘要:
A process for generating a metal sulfate that involves crystallizing a metal sulfate from an aqueous solution to form a crystallized metal sulfate in a mother liquor with uncrystallized metal sulfate remaining in the mother liquor; separating the crystallized metal sulfate from the mother liquor; basifying a portion of the mother liquor to convert the uncrystallized metal sulfate to a basic metal salt; and using the basic metal salt upstream of crystallizing the metal sulfate. So crystallized, the generated metal sulfate may be battery-grade or electroplating-grade.

Process to decrease silicon content of metal powder produced by hydrogen reduction from ammoniacal ammonium sulphate solutions containing metal ammine complexes, wherein metal (Me) is Ni, Co, or Cu. The process controls the precipitation of metal hydroxide, which is found to be an effective scavenger for silicon. Silicon is preferentially removed from metal diammine sulphate-containing solutions by precipitating with a small amount of a metal hydroxide, and then separating the silicon-bearing metal hydroxide precipitate from the solution. This solution, from which the silicon impurity has been removed with the metal hydroxide precipitate, can then be reduced in one or more densification cycles with a reducing gas to produce an elemental metal powder having a decreased silicon content. Alternatively, the solution is reduced to produce a low silicon metal powder seed material for the first of the one or more densification cycles.
