Recovery of Lithium, Iron, and Phosphorus from Spent LiFePO4 Batteries Using Stoichiometric Sulfuric Acid Leaching System

Abstract

A selective leaching process is proposed to recover Li, Fe, and P from the cathode materials of spent lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO 4 ) batteries. It was found that using stoichiometric H 2 SO 4 at a low concentration as a leachant and H 2 O 2 as an oxidant, Li could be selectively leached into solution while Fe and P could remain in leaching residue as FePO 4, which is different from the traditional process of using excess mineral acid to leach all the elements into solution. Under the optimized conditions (0.3 M H 2 SO 4, H 2 O 2 /Li molar ratio 2.07, H 2 SO 4 /Li molar ratio 0.57, 60 °C, and 120 min), the leaching rates of 96.85% for Li, 0.027% for Fe, and 1.95% for P were recorded. The Li contained in solution was then recovered by introducing Na 3 PO 4 as a precipitant. Around 95.56% Li was precipitated and recovered in the form of Li 3 PO 4 under the experimental conditions. In addition, the FePO 4 in the leaching residue was directly recovered by burning at 600 °C for 4 h to remove carbon slag. This study illustrates an effective process for the recycling of spent LiFePO 4 batteries in a simple, efficient, and cost-effective way, which give it potential to be industrially applied.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
