Starting from the point where waste aluminum enters the processing workflow
Included activities ends
Until the end of the production of recycled aluminum ingots
Description
This dataset is applicable for the process of resource recovery of retired ternary lithium batteries using directional recycling technology.
Activity Description
This dataset represents the process of producing recycled aluminum from melted scrap aluminum, followed by refining. The process includes the consumption of energy and auxiliary materials, as well as the generation of waste gas and wastewater.
Process Description
Scrap aluminum is treated by melting, adding alloys, and then further refined and cast, ultimately producing aluminum ingots.
