| Abstract Scope |
Following the global trend towards electric transportation, automakers are transitioning from internal combustion engine to electric vehicles. To overcome the expected increase in spent batteries, recycling li-ion battery is vital in securing the raw materials. While the pyrometallurgical route offers an effective metallurgical separation, its drawback lies in the high energy consumption from the high temperature requirement. A high-temperature process by cleaner energy source like concentrated solar energy is an alternative to address this issue. Solar energy proves promising due to its renewable nature. In this study, the battery waste containing various cathode metals were extracted through carbothermic reduction using anode carbon by solar simulator furnace. A thermodynamic assessment was conducted using the FactSage™ thermochemical package in conjunction with selected experimental data within the temperature range of 400-800 ēC. The development of a concentrated-solar-thermal-driven recycling route is a necessary step towards a sustainable process for recycling spent lithium-ion batteries. |
