Abstract

Abstract Recovery of valuable metals from spent lithium-ion battery (LIB) is of both environmental and economic importance. Acidic leaching usually encounters issues of low selectivity or slow kinetics with considerable secondary waste generation during further purification. In this research, a closed-loop process with improved leaching selectivity for recycling of spent LiNixCoyMn1-x-yO2 battery using weak acidic leachant was demonstrated. To obtain optimal conditions of the leaching process, the effects of acid concentration, solid to liquid (S/L) ratio, temperature and reductant content were systematically investigated. Almost all Co, Li, Mn and Ni could be effectively recovered into the solution while Al remained in the residue as metallic form, after one-step leaching. The role of reductant during leaching was further evaluated which was found to be critical for the leaching kinetics. It is clear that the addition of reductant could alter the rate-controlling step of leaching from the ion diffusion in the residue layer to the surface chemical reactions. With high selectivity against impurities, this research proposed and verified a process to recover high purity Li2CO3 from the cathode scrap of LIBs, and more than 90% of the global recovery rate of valuable metals can be achieved.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
