Description
Used ternary lithium batteries come from electric bicycles, electric vehicles, electric equipment and tools, etc., and the disassembled power batteries cannot be reassembled for resource recycling. The resource recovery method of retired ternary lithium batteries in this dataset is a directional circulation process, which is dismantled, dryed and pyrolyzed, crushed and mechanical sorting, acid leaching, copper removal, iron and aluminum removal, rough extraction, essence extraction, and alkali aging to obtain ternary precursors. The comprehensive recovery rate of nickel, cobalt and manganese in this method reached 98.5%.
In this dataset, the recovery rate of nickel, cobalt, and manganese is 98%, the recovery rate of copper and aluminum is 97%, and the recovery rate of plastic is 80%.
This dataset is suitable for the process of resource recycling of used ternary lithium batteries using a directional cycle process.
Activity Description
This dataset represents the process of resource recovery from retired ternary lithium batteries using a directional recycling process, including energy and material consumption during production, waste generation, and emissions of exhaust gases and wastewater.
Process Description
Resource recycling of ternary lithium batteries that cannot be reused after testing through targeted recycling processes.
