Abstract
This study proposed a recycling method for spent batteries by combining supercritical water oxidation and acid-leaching. In supercritical water oxidation process, the cathode material was separated from the electrode plate, and 98% of lithium in the cathode was leached to achieve the separation of lithium from Ni, Co and Mn. Ni, Co and Mn were then leached during the acid leaching process. The effect of solid-liquid ratio, oxidant mass concentration, reaction time and temperature in supercritical process on metal leaching was analyzed. The leaching rate of Ni, Co and Mn was improved by increasing the mass concentration of oxidant and the reaction temperature. The effect of reaction time on metal leaching is related to the mass concentration of oxidant in the solution. Through the control of paraments, the leaching efficiencies of Ni, Co and Mn were significantly improved from 90.4%, 84.7%, 86.4–99.7%, 96.8% and 98.5%.
