Abstract
In this paper, the key factors and the mechanism of the extraction of iron and manganese from the sulfuric acid leaching solution of waste ternary lithium-ion batteries were studied by combining P204 and N235 extractors. The experimental results showed that the optimal organic phase composition was 25% P204 + 15% N235 + 60% sulfonated kerosene, and the optimal pH of the pre-extraction solution was in the range of 3.0–3.5. Under the conditions of an extraction temperature of 25–35 °C and an extraction ratio of O/A = 1/1 and after mixing for 5 min, the removal rate of Mn and Fe exceeded 99%. Under the same extraction conditions, the extraction effect of the P204-N235 composite extractant on Mn and Fe was better than that of P204 alone. logD-log[P204] showed that the formulas of the Mn and Fe extracts were MnR2(HR) and FeR2(HR), respectively. The logD-pH diagram showed that only one free H+ was released for each metal ion during extraction, and extraction occurred via a cation exchange reaction.
