Description
Spent ternary lithium batteries come from electric bicycles, electric vehicles, electric equipment, and tools. After disassembly, if the power batteries cannot be reassembled following testing, they undergo resource recovery. This dataset applies a targeted recycling process for the recovery of spent ternary lithium batteries, which involves disassembly, drying and pyrolysis, crushing and mechanical separation, acid leaching, copper removal, iron and aluminum removal, coarse extraction, fine extraction, and alkali precipitation aging to produce ternary precursors. The overall recovery rate of nickel, cobalt, and manganese via this method reaches 98%. 5%.
In this dataset, the recovery rates for nickel, cobalt, and manganese are 98%, for copper and aluminum 97%, and for plastics 80%.
This dataset applies to the resource recovery process of end-of-life ternary lithium batteries using directed recycling technology.
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.
