摘要

Separation between two recycled electrode active materials from spent Li-ion batteries by a conventional froth flotation method has been challenging due to similarity in their surface hydrophobicity. In this study, a new coarse flake particle flotation technology has been developed to separate the electrode active materials from Li-ion batteries. The new process separates the recycled electrode flake particles effectively at a size range of 212–850 μm by taking advantage of a significant difference in densities between the anode flake materials and cathode flake materials. At a feed size of 212 μm or less, a fraction of recycled cathode particles is floated in the froth layers resulting in a loss of cathode materials in the sink product. At a feed size of 850 μm or above, a small fraction of anode flakes becomes non-floatable, resulting in a decrease in the grade of cathode materials in the sink product. The mechanism has been investigated by induction time measurements, bubble–flake detachment, contact angle measurements, and force analysis. The anode flakes are more hydrophobic than cathode flakes, which is consistent with the result obtained from induction time measurements. A force analysis reveals that the critical size for electrode flake particles being attached to air bubbles varies with advancing contact angle and density. Maintaining a desirable feed size is essential to achieve an optimum separation performance. In this regard, a flotation column is superior to mechanical flotation cells in minimizing size reduction during the flotation process. Lab-scale column flotation trials showed that a good separation between anode and cathode flake particles has been achieved by column flotation with 98–99% purity of cathode flake materials in the sink product at a recovery rate of 96–99%. The present study demonstrates a new process in separating two electrode flake materials from spent Li-ion batteries.
