What technology is used to recycle lithium-ion batteries? What is the lithium battery recycling trend?

In the past 10 years, with the popularity of electric vehicles and portable electronic devices, the demand for lithium-ion batteries has increased significantly. However, the resulting battery waste problem has become increasingly severe and has become a top priority for environmental recycling in various countries. How to effectively recycle and reuse these lithium-ion batteries has become an important environmental and economic issue. SUNY GROUP will discuss with you the current technologies used to recycle lithium-ion batteries and briefly analyze the development trends in this field.

At present, the recycling of lithium-ion batteries mainly adopts the following technologies: 1. *Mechanical processing*: This method mainly includes crushing and screening, which mechanically decomposes the battery into smaller particles, and then separates them to obtain lron, Plastic Film, Black Mass, Aluminum, and Copper. The advantages of mechanical processing are simple process, low cost, environmental protection and high efficiency, fast technology upgrade, and stable mechanical equipment. It is the mainstream recycling technology for lithium-ion batteries in the world.

2. *Hydrometallurgy*: Hydrometallurgy is currently one of the most commonly used lithium-ion battery recycling technologies. This method extracts valuable metals such as lithium, cobalt, and nickel from batteries through chemical means such as acid leaching and solvent extraction. This method has a high metal recovery rate, but it requires the treatment of a large amount of chemical waste liquid, which has a certain impact on the environment, is costly, inefficient, and has a limited scope of application.3. *Pyrometallurgy*: Pyrometallurgy extracts metals from batteries through high-temperature smelting. The advantages of this method are fast processing speed and high metal recovery rate, but the disadvantages are high energy consumption and the generation of harmful gases during the treatment process, which not only pollutes the environment but also has a certain impact on workers.

With the enhancement of environmental awareness and the promotion of policies, the lithium-ion battery recycling industry presents the following major development trends: 1. *Policy promotion*: Governments of various countries have introduced policies to encourage the recycling and reuse of lithium-ion batteries. For example, the European Union issued the “Battery Directive” in 2020, requiring member states to increase the recycling rate of batteries and imposing stricter recycling responsibilities on battery manufacturers. China also issued the “Management Measures for the Recycling of Waste Batteries” in 2021, clarifying the extended producer responsibility system and encouraging enterprises to establish a recycling system.

2. *Extension of the industrial chain*: More and more battery manufacturers and automakers are beginning to get involved in the field of battery recycling, forming a complete industrial chain from production to recycling. For example, companies such as Tesla and CATL have established their own battery recycling systems to ensure that used batteries can be effectively recycled and reused.3. *Growth in market demand*: With the development of electric vehicles and renewable energy, the demand for lithium-ion batteries will continue to grow. It is expected that by 2030, the global lithium-ion battery market will reach hundreds of billions of dollars. This will further promote the development of the battery recycling industry, drive the advancement of recycling technology and improve the recycling system.4. *Enhanced environmental awareness*: With the improvement of public environmental awareness, more and more consumers are willing to choose environmentally friendly products and support battery recycling. This provides a good social foundation for the development of the battery recycling industry.

In general, lithium-ion battery recycling technology is constantly improving, and the recycling industry is also developing rapidly. Policy promotion, technological innovation, extension of the industrial chain, growth in market demand, and enhanced environmental awareness are all important factors driving the development of this field. In the future, with the further maturity of technology and the improvement of the recycling system, lithium-ion battery recycling will become an important environmental and economic field, contributing to sustainable development. Among the main recycling technologies at present, mechanical processing recycling (lithium ion battery recycling machine) is still the choice of more than 90% of recyclers.

Battery recycling and environmental protection technology, lead ingot smelting cup furnace waste car battery regeneration.

In recent years, with the increasing impact of battery waste treatment on the environment, the recycling technology of waste lead-acid batteries has developed rapidly. The final disposal methods of batteries are mainly landfill, incineration and recycling. In order to reduce the harm of waste batteries to the environment, the lead ingot smelting cup furnace waste car battery recycling technology came into being and became an important breakthrough in the environmental protection industry.

According to 500 questionnaire surveys conducted in Zhengzhou, Jiaozuo and Dengcheng, Henan Province, 39.24% of the public discarded batteries at will, 17.72% of people did not know how to deal with them because there were no waste battery recycling stations, 38.38% of people put batteries in ordinary trash cans, and only 12.66% of people put waste batteries in special recycling stations. These data show that even at the source, the recycling rate of used batteries is very low, not to mention a higher reuse rate. Therefore, research on the recycling and reuse of used batteries has become increasingly necessary.The lead ingot smelting cup furnace is a melting device used to melt metals such as cast iron, copper, and lead. Its structure is cylindrical, the equipment is arranged vertically, and it is usually supported by four legs. It looks like a large chimney. The bottom of the cup furnace is equipped with a door that swings down and outward for dumping waste. The top can be open or a cover can be installed to prevent rainwater from entering. In order to control emissions, the cup furnace may be equipped with a cover for introducing gas into the equipment to cool and remove particulate matter.

The entire production line of the lead ingot smelting cup furnace for recycling used automotive batteries focuses on environmental protection. First, the used lead-acid batteries will be separated by a “battery separator”, and the separated final products include plastics, lead, and acid. The crude lead can be refined through the smelting section, and if deep recycling is required, a cup furnace can be selected to obtain refined lead ingots. The smelting section is also equipped with an air pollution purification system to meet the requirements of environmental protection policies.

Lead ingot smelting cup furnace for recycling used automobile batteries not only has significant advantages in environmental protection, but also has significant economic benefits. Through efficient automated production processes, labor costs are reduced and production efficiency is improved.

New breakthrough in 2024, from lead-acid batteries to lead ingots, a process-based recycling solution.

The effective recycling of used batteries has always been a powerful obstacle that confuses major recyclers in efficient recycling. Among various recyclable batteries, lead-acid batteries are one of the most difficult to efficiently recycle due to their hard shell and corrosive electrolyte solution, which makes recycling more difficult. Lead-acid batteries are currently the largest and most widely used battery type in the world. Of the world’s annual lead production, lead-acid batteries in automobiles, industrial facilities and portable tools often account for 75% of the world’s total lead consumption. Developed countries in the world attach great importance to the recycling of secondary lead. Understanding the current challenges faced by lead-acid battery recycling, our professional technicians stepped up to the challenge, overcame various technical difficulties, and finally achieved innovative upgrades in recycling technology. Please follow this article to explore new solutions for lead-acid battery recycling.

The picture above is a schematic structural diagram of most lead-acid batteries, allowing you to understand the various components of lead-acid batteries. During the recycling process, we need to obtain plastic casings, electrolyte solutions, lead (lead plates and lead grids), and some copper, iron and other metals from used lead-acid batteries. To obtain these usable and valuable materials, the old technical solution was to rely on manual labor. Usually mechanical cutting or manual disassembly is used. Care is required during disassembly to prevent electrolyte leakage. After disassembly, the different components in the battery are separated, including the lead plate, lead grid, plastic casing, and electrolyte. Manual dismantling and recycling solutions are too inefficient, costly and dangerous. Our technicians, through technological research and development, have designed and manufactured automated machines to recycle lead-acid batteries. Please see the YouTube video below for the specific process.

In order to improve the purity of lead (lead plates and lead grids), this part of the material will be melted by the Lead Smelting Cupola Furnace, and the impurities will be removed to obtain pure lead, which will then be made into lead ingots and shipped to the manufacturer for reuse and manufacturing. New batteries or items containing lead.

The launch of the lead-acid battery separation and recycling machine and the Lead Smelting Cupola Furnace marks a new milestone in the lead-acid battery recycling industry. I believe that with the continuous advancement of science and technology and the improvement of environmental awareness, this technology will play an increasingly important role in the future. If you are interested in our products and services, or have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact our team today. We will wholeheartedly provide you with professional solutions and provide you with the best quality service.
