How are Lithium-Ion Batteries Recycled?
Lithium-ion batteries are widely used in various electronic devices, electric vehicles, and energy storage systems. With the popularity of these devices, the number of lithium-ion batteries that are used is increasing rapidly. Recycling these batteries not only helps reduce environmental pollution but also recovers valuable resources.
Lithium-ion batteries consist of multiple unit cells, each of which contains a positive electrode (usually lithium-cobalt oxide or lithium-nickel-cobalt-aluminum oxide), a negative electrode (usually graphite), an electrolyte (usually a flammable liquid), and a diaphragm. These materials contain lithium, cobalt, nickel, manganese, graphite, and other key metallic elements.
Why recycling lithium-ion batteries is critical
Resource recycling: Materials such as lithium, cobalt, and nickel are important raw materials for manufacturing new batteries, and recycling reduces the need for new minerals.
Environmental protection: Used batteries, if not handled properly, can release hazardous substances that can contaminate soil and water.
Economic benefits: Recycling the precious metals in batteries can reduce the production cost of new batteries.
The process of lithium-ion battery recycling and related equipment
A. Crushing and Sorting Recycling
Crushing: waste batteries are first crushed into small pieces.
Sorting: Through a vibrating screen, sorting machine, and other equipment, different materials are separated to form “black matter” (containing lithium, cobalt, and other metal mixtures).
B. Continuous Carbonization Recovery
Carbonization: Battery materials are carbonized at high temperatures to remove organic matter.
Purification: Pure metals and other useful materials are extracted through further processing.
