The anode, cathode, electrolyte, and separators are made from various materials with distinct characteristics that enable Li-Ion batteries to work. These materials, which include both metallic and nonmetallic elements and compounds, are the focus of battery recycling, as most of them are valuable substances that can be recovered and reused.
The recycling of spent lithium-ion batteries (Li-ion Batteries) has drawn a lot of interest in recent years in response to the rising demand for the corresponding high-value metals and materials and the mounting concern emanating from the detrimental environmental effects imposed by the conventional disposal of solid battery waste.
In order to refine the waste and derive purer forms, such as salts, hydroxides, and metals, a hydrometallurgical process is often necessary . As a result, numerous studies have suggested that the utilization of the leaching process to recover valuable metals from used Li-ion batteries can be beneficial [5, 11, 12].
Conventional recycling stages for spent Li-ion batteries. cally first fully discharged to empty all the remaining power. To discharge spent Li-ion batteries, they are usually immersed in a salt solution [3,5,9]. Following the discharging ration and automated or manual dismantl ing. The goal of this step is to remove the plastic
The batteries are then crushed in a Li brine after being torn and put through a hammer mill. During hammer mill ing, the Li dissolved products. The so-called fluff and the Li solution’s un dissolved com ponents, such as fine carbon and metal oxide, necessitate additional treatments.
The increasing need for lithium has prompted the development of extraction methods to ensure a sustainable supply. Traditional approaches include evaporative brine processing, where lithium-rich brine is pumped into large surface ponds for solar evaporation.
Li et al. put forth the ground-breaking idea of recycling used Li-ion batteries by integrating crushing and ultrasonic washing to recover the Co compound. The alternate approach enhances the Co recovery efficiency while lowering energy consumption and environmental pollution.
