A technique combining mechanical force and heating effect was adopted to selectively disassociate cathode material from spent lithium-ion batteries and roll the aluminum foil by adjusting processing parameters. The results show that a better disassociation effect can be obtained with the frequency of electric motor, air circulation fan and dissociation device at 40 Hz, 40 Hz and 50 Hz, respectively. The aluminum foil with particle size of -1.7+0.075 mm is rolled to be spherical, and the cathode materials with particle size of -0.075+0.048 mm and -0.048 mm are rough on the surface and wrapped by organic binder. The final dissociation rate of cathode sheet can be up to 96.35%, and the cathode material can be recovered at a rate of 94.95% by single operation, with the content of Al impurity less than 0.15%. It is shown that this selective dissociation technique based on a combination of mechanic force and heating effect can actualize an efficient separation and sorting of cathode sheet, not only shortening the battery disposal process flow but also achieving efficient metal enrichment.
