Pyrometallurgical Technology in the Recycling of a Spent Lithium Ion Battery: Evolution and the Challenge

Zhou, Mingxian, Li, Bang, Li, Jia, Xu, Zhenming·2021·ACS ES&T Engineering

Abstract

The rapid development of the electric vehicle industry has spurred the prosperity of the lithium ion battery market, but the subsequent huge number of spent lithium ion batteries (SLIBs) may bring severe environmental problems. Because of the advantages of low raw material requirements and little waste liquid production, pyrometallurgical technology is suitable for recycling SLIBs in large-scale industrial applications. After decades of research, the practice of pyrometallurgical technology in related fields has developed a lot. There are three essential components of SLIBs, namely, binders and electrolytes, cathode, and anode. This article summarizes the development of pyrometallurgical technologies in dealing with these three parts and analyzes the strengths as well as weaknesses of each technology. Moreover, it reveals the evolution and the challenges of pyrometallurgical technology in recycling SLIBs. A high-value utilization with the characteristics of an overall resource utilization of waste batteries is a promising development direction for pyrometallurgical technology.

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.
