Abstract

Recovery of metals from spent lithium-ion batteries is an excellent way to protect metal resources and mitigate potential risks to ecosystems. In this article, the reaction mechanism of the LiNi1/3Co1/3Mn1/3O2-NaHSO4·H2O system during roasting and recovery of valuable metals was studied. The mixture composed of LiNi1/3Co1/3Mn1/3O2 and NaHSO4·H2O in a mass ratio of 1:0.14–1.86 shows obvious chemical changes during roasting at 873.15 K for 0.5 h. The occurrence of the various forms of Li, Ni, Co, and Mn in the roasting products is restricted by the composition of the mixture. When there is more NaHSO4·H2O in the roasted products of the LiNi1/3Co1/3Mn1/3O2-NaHSO4·H2O system, Li exists in the stable form of LiNaSO4, while Ni, Co, and Mn exist in stable forms composite oxides or sulfates. The roasted products are in the form of agglomerates. Thermodynamic analysis shows that in the temperature range of 385.15–1273.15 K, the chemical reaction between LiNi1/3Co1/3Mn1/3O2 and NaHSO4·H2O can proceed spontaneously. At a mass ratio of 1:1.86 LiNi1/3Co1/3Mn1/3O2 to NaHSO4·H2O, after roasting, then water leaching at 333.15 K for 0.5 h at a liquid/solid ratio of 25:1 mL/g, the extraction rates were 99.86%, 7.75%, 22.83%, and 46.94% for Li, Ni, Co, and Mn, respectively.
