摘要: The present invention provides a method that is capable of selectively obtaining nickel and/or cobalt from an alloy, which contains copper. A method comprises: a leaching step S1 in which an alloy that contains copper as well as nickel and/or cobalt is subjected to a leaching treatment by means of an acid solution in the coexistence of a sulfurizing agent, thereby obtaining a leachate and a leaching residue; and a reduction step S2 in which a reducing agent is added to the thus-obtained leachate so as to reduce the leachate, thereby obtaining a post-reduction solution and a reduction residue. This method is characterized in that the reduction is carried out in the reduction step S2, while controlling the addition amount of the reducing agent so that the redox potential of the leachate is 0 mV or less as determined where a silver/silver chloride electrode is the reference electrode.

摘要: A recycling process for Lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries includes a selective leach of charge material metals followed by impurity control for effecting microstructures such as a pore volume and surface area for optimal structures and charge performance. Particle characteristics having a favorable effect on performance correlate with soluble impurities in a recycling leach solution formed from spent charge material in a battery recycling stream. Spent batteries yield a black mass of agitated, comingled cathode material, anode material and current collectors. Leaching of the black mass yields a recycling solution of charge material metals and impurities. Selective adjustment of these impurities through adding and/or separating soluble ions in the solution drives formation of internal voids, surface area and pore volume in the resulting cathode material.

摘要: Systems and methods using solar evaporation to preconcentrate lithium containing brines to at or near lithium saturation, followed by a separation processes to separate lithium from impurities. A separated impurity stream is recycled to a point in the evaporation sequence where conditions are favorable for their precipitation and removal or disposed in a separate evaporation pond or reinjected underground, while a lower impurity stream is transferred to one or more of the removal location, to a subsequent pond in the sequence, or to a lithium plant or concentration facility. Further concentration of lithium by evaporation can then take place because impurities are removed thus eliminating lithium losses due to co-precipitation and achieving significantly higher concentrations of lithium.

摘要: The disclosure relates to processes for extracting lithium from an uncalcined lithium-bearing silicate and recovering a lithium salt therefrom. A slurry of the uncalcined lithium-bearing silicate and a caustic solution is heated in an autoclave to provide a Li-rich sodalite phase. The Li-rich sodalite phase is leached with a dilute acid to produce a lithium-rich pregnant liquor. Various subsequent processes to treat the lithium-rich pregnant liquor to recover a lithium salt, such as lithium phosphate, lithium carbonate, lithium sulphate or lithium hydroxide, are described.
