Abstract

In order to develop a process for the recovery of valuable metals from spent LiBs, solvent extraction experiments were performed to separate Cu(II) and/or Co(II) from synthetic hydrochloric acid solutions containing Li(I), Mn(II), and Ni(II). Commercial amines (Alamine 336 and Aliquat 336) were employed and the extraction behavior of the metals was investigated as a function of the concentration of HCl and extractants. The results indicate that HCl concentration affected remarkably the extraction efficiency of the metals. Only Cu(II) was selectively at 1 M HCl concentration, while both Co(II) and Cu(II) was extracted by the amines when HCl concentration was higher than 5 M, leaving the other metal ions in the raffinate. Therefore, it was possible to selectively extract either Cu(II) or Co(II)/Cu(II) by adjusting the HCl concentration.

폐리튬이온전지에 함유된 유가금속을 회수하기 위한 공정을 개발하기 위해 리튬(I), 망간(II), 니켈(II)을 함유한 합성 염산용액에서 구리(II)와 코발트(II)의 분리를 위한 용매추출실험을 수행했다. 본 연구에서는 Alamine 336과 Aliquat 336을 추출제로 사용했으며 염산과 추출제의 농도에 따른 금속의 추출거동을 조사했다. 염산농도가 금속의 추출거동에 큰 영향을 미치는 것이 확인되었다. 염산농도가 1 M인 조건에서는 구리(II)만 추출되었으나, 염산농도 5 M 이상의 조건에서는 구리(II)와 코발트(II)가 선택적으로 추출되고 리튬(I), 망간(II), 니켈(II)은 추출여액에 남았다. 염산농도를 조절하면 구리(II)와 코발트(II)를 선택적으로 추출하는 것이 가능하다.
