Evaluating organic acids as alternative leaching reagents for metal recovery from lithium ion batteries
Abstract
Abstract Recycling of lithium ion batteries (LIBs) is important from an environmental management perspective and because of the potential economic benefits associated with the recovery of scarce resources such as lithium and cobalt. Current hydrometallurgical metal recycling processes involve dismantling and size reduction followed by leaching with mineral acids; these lixiviants present an environmental challenge of its own. This project evaluated the technical feasibility of using organic acids, which potentially have a smaller environmental impact that mineral acids, as lixiviants to recover lithium, cobalt and nickel from LIBs. Batch atmospheric leaching tests were performed with citric acid and DL-malic acid to investigate the effect of acid concentration, leaching temperature and H2O2 addition on metal leaching. Leaching with 1–1.5 M citric acid and 2 vol% H2O2 at 95 °C achieved more than 95% Co and Li dissolution; these results suggest that organic acids can possibly substitute inorganic acids as environmentally friendly lixiviants.

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.
