Abstract Scope |
The digitalisation of the world and electrification of transportation have been driving the increased usage of rechargeable batteries in the past decade. Recycling and recovering valuable metals from Li-ion batteries (LIB) waste is critical for securing the resources to meet the future demand and production of batteries. In this study, recycling of a battery waste, a black mass containing multiple metals from the cathode and carbon anode, was evaluated using a pyrometallurgical route. Reduction of battery cathode material using carbon from the anode combined with hydrogen as reductant was systematically investigated. The study included thermodynamic assessment using the FactSage™ thermochemical package combined with selected experimental results. The overall reduction mechanism was found to be uniquely characterized by the reduction temperature. The data and information obtained can be employed to develop and optimize the recycling process of Li-ion batteries. |
