Valorization of waste NiMH battery through recovery of critical rare earth metal: A simple recycling process for the circular economy

Abstract

The process flowsheet consists of three main circuits, i.e., metal extraction by acid leaching, critical rare earth metal (REM) recovery from leach liquor and pure Co/Ni recovery by solvent extraction. Quantitative metal extraction using 1 M H 2 SO 4, pulp density of 25 g/L at 90 °C from waste NiMH battery was achieved. From leach liquor using 10 M NaOH, at pH 1.8, more than 99% REM was precipitated out and isolated through calcination at 600 °C. Undesired metals like Mn, Al, Zn, and Fe were scrubbed out from the leach liquor using 0. 7 M D2EPHA at the equilibrium pH of 2.30. From the scrubbed raffinate Co and Ni was separated using 0.5 M Cyanex 272 at pH 4.70 through solvent extraction. At pH 4.70 Co was completely extracted from solution leaving Ni in solution, which can be recovered completely. From Co loaded Cyanex 272, the Co was stripped by 1 M H 2 SO 4 and regenerated Cyanex 272 can be reused and close the loop. Similarly, the undesired metal loaded D2EPHA can be regenerated and reused and close the loop. As the process is close-loop process recovers critical REMs, Co, and Ni, the valorization process efficiently addresses the circular economy and recycling challenges associated with waste NiMH battery.

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.
