The invention provides a
recovery method and
recovery equipment for a positive active material of a
lithium ion battery, and the
recovery method comprises the following steps: (1) soaking a scrapped positive plate in NMP (N-Methyl Pyrrolidone), heating to dissolve a binder in the positive plate in the NMP, and filtering and
drying to obtain a positive
waste material; and (2) adding LiNO3 and LiOH eutectic
lithium salt into the positive
electrode waste material, uniformly mixing, carrying out
lithium supplement repair by adopting a
solid phase method, and then carrying out high-temperature
sintering. According to the method, the binder is dissolved through NMP, so that the positive
electrode waste material can be separated from the
current collector, then
solid-phase lithium supplement repair is carried out on the positive
electrode waste material and the eutectic lithium salt, and then high-temperature
sintering is carried out, so that the positive electrode active material is obtained. The eutectic lithium salt is adopted, the
sintering temperature of the eutectic lithium salt is low, the molten lithium salt can permeate into the surface and the interior of the positive electrode waste material at the low sintering temperature, and the sintered and repaired positive electrode active material can be more uniform. The
solid-
phase method is adopted for one-step sintering, the recovery rate is high, and the situation that an
intermediate product needs to be prepared firstly and then cleaned and calcined in a
hydrothermal reaction can be avoided.
