In this section, we will discuss about the applications of advanced electrochemical oxidation technology in treating lithium battery wastewater.
Global automotive power battery shipments experienced a remarkable surge in 2022, reaching 684.2 GWh, representing 84.4% increase compared to the previous year. And energy storage battery shipments saw substantial growth, reaching 159.3 GWh, marking a significant 140.3% year-on-year(YOY) increase.
It’s projected that global ternary cathode material production will reach approximately 993,000 tons in 2022, exhibiting a year-on-year growth of more than 30%. Looking ahead, from 2021 to 2025, the demand for lithium battery cathode materials is anticipated to grow at an impressive compound annual growth rate of 48.9%, with ternary materials showing an average annual compound growth rate of 37.1%.
According to estimates, the global demand for lithium batteries is expected to increase substantially from 2022 to 2025, with projections of 675.84 GWh, 1025.69 GWh, 1455.07 GWh, and 2065.73 GWh for the respective years. Consequently, there will be a corresponding demand for cathode materials, mainly focusing on lithium iron phosphate and ternary materials, with projected quantities of 1.331 million tons, 2.023 million tons, 2.874 million tons, and 4.086 million tons for the same period.
The compound annual growth rate for lithium battery cathode material demand, spanning from 2021 to 2025, is estimated to be 48.9%, including growth rates of 53.9% for lithium iron phosphate and 37.1% for ternary materials, respectively.
Advantages of Boron Doped Diamond (BDD) Toward Lithium Ion Battery Production Wastewater
Effective Removal of Challenging Compounds: Wastewater contains complex organic phosphorus and kerosene, which are difficult to oxidize and degrade. BDD treatment efficiently addresses these challenging compounds.
Resourcefulness and Minimal Chemical Input: BDD treatment leads to significant evaporated salt output, promoting resourcefulness by minimizing the need for additional chemicals and impurities.
Recovery of Valuable Metals: The wastewater also contains valuable metals, and BDD treatment allows for their recovery through evaporation and concentration, maximizing resource utilization.
Suitability for Electrochemical Reactions: BDD’s high electrical conductivity makes it suitable for electrochemical reactions, enhancing the overall treatment efficiency.
Strong Oxidation Ability: BDD’s high oxygen precipitation point and strong oxidation capacity enable the effective removal of hard-to-degrade organic matter, ensuring high treatment efficiency.
Minimal Chemical Dependency: BDD treatment solely relies on electrons as reactants, eliminating the need for additional chemicals during the process.
Compatibility with Metal Inorganic Substances: BDD treatment effectively targets metal inorganic substances without adversely affecting the recovery of valuable metals, ensuring efficient and selective removal.
Case Studies of Lithium Battery Production Wastewater Treatment
Guangxi Pengyue Ecological Technology Co., Ltd,a subsidiary of Guizhou Chanhen Chemical Corporation, 002895 (SHE),a publicly listed company and pioneer of the phosphate industry.
The project revolves around the concept of “copper, sulfur, and phosphorus”, with a primary focus on utilizing phosphate ore as the main raw material. By consuming sulfuric acid, which is a by-product of copper electrolysis, the project effectively treats the waste acid generated during the copper electrolysis process. This innovative approach addresses the challenges faced by two major industries – copper electrolysis and the phosphorus chemical industry – and aims to achieve sustainable development for both. The production process for phosphoric acid is based on the hemi-dihydrate wet process, which is then further refined to produce high-purity phosphoric acid, calcium dihydrogen phosphate, ferric phosphate, and other valuable by-products. However, the project does encounter challenges, particularly concerning high COD (Chemical Oxygen Demand), high phosphorus, and fluorine organic wastewater. The wastewater primarily contains organic phosphorus, which exhibits poor biochemical properties with a B/C ratio less than 0.06. These complexities demand effective wastewater treatment strategies to ensure environmental sustainability and the overall success of the project.
