In the process of producing metallic lithium, a residue containing a large amount of metallic lithium, paraffin oil, lithium nitride, lithium oxide, carbon, potassium, sodium, oxides thereof, and the like, called metallic lithium slag, is generated, and the mass thereof is about 3% of the yield of metallic lithium. Because the content of lithium in the metallic lithium slag can reach 50wt%, the economic value is high, and the recycling of the metallic lithium slag has important economic value.

However, the produced lithium metal slag is not suitable for long-time stacking, and as the protective oil film on the surface of the lithium slag becomes thinner along with the increase of the stacking time, the lithium metal can react with water, oxygen and nitrogen in the air, a large amount of generated heat and hydrogen can not be discharged in time, the heat is accumulated gradually, the temperature of the lithium slag is gradually increased, spontaneous combustion and even explosion can occur when the temperature of the lithium slag is accumulated to a certain degree, and fire disasters are caused, so that property loss and personal injury are caused.
