中文摘要

随着废锂离子电池数量的不断增多，对废锂离子电池材料中钴金属的分离回收成为了近年来的研究热点。为了高效、高选择性地分离回收废锂离子电池正极材料浸出液中的Co(II)，本文基于亚硝酸根的选择性配位和Co(II)形成络阴离子的特点，采用了季铵盐N263作为萃取剂在亚硝酸钠体系中对Co(II)进行选择性分离回收。结果表明，当萃取条件为55vol%磺化煤油，30vol% N263和15vol%异丙醇组成的有机相，水相和有机相的体积比（A/O）为2:1，萃取时间为30 min，温度为25°C，0.1 M HNO₃和1 M亚硝酸钠时，Co(II)的萃取效率最高达到99.16%，而Ni(II)、Mn(II)和Li(I)的萃取效率仅为9.27%–9.80%。采用FT-IR、XPS、UV探究了N263与Co(II)的相互作用机制。研究发现，溶液中${\rm{NO}}_2^- $与Co(II)选择性结合形成阴离子络合物[Co(NO₂)₃]⁻，并通过N263中的Cl⁻进行离子交换，最终溶液中的Co(II)被萃取到有机相中。根据McCabe–Thiele结果显示，当Co(II)浓度为2544 mg/L时，经过三段逆流萃取后Co(II)的萃取效率能够达到99.00%以上。在反萃实验中，当盐酸浓度为1.5 M，水相与有机相的体积比为1:1时，Co(II)的反萃取效率为91.41%。萃取剂N263经过5次萃取和反萃取循环后，Co(II)的萃取效率仍然可以达到93.89%。另外，在废锂离子电池材料实际浸出液中，可实现对Co(II)100%的高效萃取。

Abstract

Abstract

To effectively separate and recover Co(II) from the leachate of spent lithium-ion battery cathodes, we investigated solvent extraction with quaternary ammonium salt N263 in the sodium nitrite system. N${\rm{O}}_2^- $ combines with Co(II) to form an anion [Co(NO₂)₃]⁻, and it is then extracted by N263. The extraction of Co(II) is related to the concentration of N${\rm{O}}_2^- $. The extraction efficiency of Co(II) reaches the maximum of 99.16%, while the extraction efficiencies of Ni(II), Mn(II), and Li(I) are 9.27%‒9.80% under the following conditions: 30vol% of N263 and 15vol% of iso-propyl alcohol in sulfonated kerosene, the volume ratio of the aqueous-to-organic phase is 2:1, the extraction time is 30 min, and 1 M sodium nitrite in 0.1 M HNO₃. The theoretical stages require for the Co(II) extraction are performed in the McCabe–Thiele diagram, and the extraction efficiency of Co(II) reaches more than 99.00% after three-stage counter-current extraction with Co(II) concentration of 2544 mg/L. When the HCl concentration is 1.5 M, the volume ratio of the aqueous-to-organic phase is 1:1, the back-extraction efficiency of Co(II) achieves 91.41%. After five extraction and back-extraction cycles, the Co(II) extraction efficiency can still reach 93.89%. The Co(II) extraction efficiency in the actual leaching solution reaches 100%.
