LEACHING FOR LITHIUM-ION BATTERIES
Leaching for lithium-ion batteries is main economic factor in terms of energy consumption during the recycling process. Recycling of lithium-ion batteries have high economic value due to valuable metals in spent cathode materials. Leaching of black mass is first step of hydrometallurgy for dissolution of metals by leaching agent. The process is followed by precipitation and solvent extraction which are used to obtain the metals particularly in desired form or shape.
LEACHING IS THE BEST OPTION TO START THE CHEMICAL PROCESS
Leaching is the best option to start the chemical process in many ways when battery recycling plant is planned to establish as an economically viable business. Leaching is the most beneficial way to recover valuable materials in the lithium-ion batteries since it requires lower energy consumption, easier in operation and recovery of high-purity metal than other the traditional technique.The metal extraction efficiency can be maximized by making adjustments to the process conditions such as acid concentration, solid/liquid (S/L) ratio temperature or leaching time. Leaching is classified according to the type of agents such as acid, alkaline and bioleaching. Extensively investigated methods of them is acid leaching because the high efficiencies have been obtained for targeted metals, especially cobalt, nickel and manganese, in the result of studies.
LEACHING IS NOT A ENVIRONMENTAL RISK
Leaching is not a environmental risk since the toxic gas output which causes air pollution and water pollution with waste acid during the process can be eliminated with treatment systems. Although acid leaching may seem like a challenging and toxic operation, with the necessary treatments integrated into the battery recycling plant, it is actually an environmentally friendly and realistic process. In order to transform leaching operation as a part of battery recycling into a green system that is sustainable beyond commercial concerns, it is essential to minimize any physical waste.
