Lithium slag holds significant potential for recycling and reuse. The barriers in the recycling process were addressed, such as surface protectants and surface by-products (diffusion pump oil and lithium hydroxide), that impeded efficiency, and the risk of uncontrolled reactions leading to explosions. A method of using water jet impact to desorb surface protectants and by-products from lithium slag and prevent reactive explosions was proposed. Based on the binding relationship between the lithium slag, surface protectants, and lithium hydroxide by-products, a bridging model for oil-lithium-hydroxide lithium particles was proposed. Subsequently, a water jet computational fluid dynamics-discrete element method (CFD-DEM) triple-component coupled depolymerization action model was proposed to explore the depolymerization characteristics of the oil-lithium-hydroxide lithium bridging model under different water jet pressures. The results show that the destruction time of particle adhesive bonds in the oil-lithium-hydroxide lithium model is inversely proportional to the jet pressure. At a jet pressure of 0.1 MPa, a particle adhesive bond destruction rate of over 95% can be achieved within 0.05 s. When the jet pressure exceeds 0.5 MPa, the time to reach a 95% bond destruction rate is just 0.015 s. This method effectively removes the surface protectant of the lithium slag and promptly eliminates lithium hydroxide and the foam it forms while ensuring safety, efficiency, and continuous digestion operations. These findings provide significant guidance for the application of water jet technology in the recovery of reactive metals and can be specifically applied to the high-efficiency, controlled, and safe recycling field of lithium slag.
