Ultrasonic-assisted precipitation was employed to sustainably isolate Fe in the hydrochloric acid lixivium of low-grade laterite for the synthesis of battery-grade iron phosphate. The recovery efficiency of Ni and Co exceeded 99%, while the removal efficiency of the Fe impurity reached a maximum of 95%. Precipitation parameters for the selective isolation of Fe (MgO precipitant, pH 1, 70-80 °C) were optimized and used in ultrasonic precipitation experiments. The use of ultrasonic waves in the precipitation process enhanced micromixing by reducing the size of primary grains and mitigating particle agglomeration, thereby significantly improving the purity of the isolated compound and providing high-quality iron phosphate (FePO·2HO). The LiFePO/C composite prepared from as-precipitated FePO exhibited excellent electrochemical performance, with a discharge capacity of 149.7 mAh/g at 0.1 C and 136.3 mAh/g at 0.5 C after 100 cycles, retaining almost 100% cycling efficiency. This novel and facile method for iron removal from laterite acid lixivium not only efficiently removes excess iron impurities leached due to the poor selectivity of hydrochloric acid, but also enables the high-value utilization of these iron impurities. It enhances economic benefits while simultaneously alleviating environmental pressure.
采用超声辅助沉淀法从低品位红土矿的盐酸浸出液中可持续地分离铁,用于合成电池级磷酸铁。镍和钴的回收率超过99%,而铁杂质的去除率最高达到95%。优化了选择性分离铁的沉淀参数(氧化镁沉淀剂、pH值1、70 - 80°C)并用于超声沉淀实验。沉淀过程中使用超声波通过减小初级晶粒尺寸和减轻颗粒团聚来增强微观混合,从而显著提高分离化合物的纯度,并提供高质量的磷酸铁(FePO·2HO)。由沉淀得到的磷酸铁制备的LiFePO/C复合材料表现出优异的电化学性能,在0.1 C下100次循环后的放电容量为149.7 mAh/g,在0.5 C下为136.3 mAh/g,循环效率几乎保持100%。这种从红土矿酸浸出液中除铁的新颖且简便的方法不仅有效地去除了因盐酸选择性差而浸出的过量铁杂质,还能使这些铁杂质得到高价值利用。它提高了经济效益,同时减轻了环境压力。
