Abstract
A method for the hydrometallurgical recovery of lithium from the fraction of used galvanic cells containing lithium, iron and phosphate is disclosed. According to the method, lithium-iron-phosphate-containing fraction is introduced into sulfuric acid and/or hydrochloric acid, and hydrogen peroxide is added in an amount that is at least stoichiometric relative to the iron content to be oxidized of the lithium-iron-phosphate-containing fraction.
