Solvent Extraction For Spent Lithium-Ion Batteries

SOLVENT EXTRACTION FOR SPENT LITHIUM-ION BATTERIES

Solvent extraction for spent lithium-ion batteries is a widely accepted and effective method for extracting valuable metals from leaching solutions. The process involves using a specific immiscible solvent to selectively extract a particular metal, such as lithium, cobalt, nickel, manganese, copper, and aluminum. The extraction reaction occurs at the interface of two immiscible phases, where the target components interact with the organic agent to form complexes and transfer from the aqueous phase to the organic phase.

HIGH PRODUCT PURITY

High product purity is achieved by solvent extraction, which increases the efficiency and selectivity of material recovery from lithium-ion batteries. Solvent extraction has been proven to be highly effective in the recovery of high-purity lithium, cobalt, nickel, and other valuable materials, contributing to a closed-loop and sustainable battery supply chain. It offers excellent element separation, mild experimental conditions, and simple operation. Solvent extraction is also highly adjustable, allowing for precise control over the composition of target products and the obtainment of pure materials.

THE ECONOMIC ASPECT OF THE RECYCLING OF LITHIUM-ION BATTERIES

The economic aspect of the recycling of lithium-ion batteries is directly related to the ability to adapt the metal extraction to the varying production requirements of battery manufacturing. The selective isolation of metal ions from other elements contributes to a streamlined and cost-effective recycling process. Solvent extraction processes have been successfully scaled up, greatly enhancing the economic feasibility of large-scale metal production, particularly for the rapidly expanding electric vehicle market and energy storage applications.

GREEN AND SAFE PROCESS

The green and safe process can be improved by the integration of unit operations by using selective solvents. Fewer mixer-settler units and lower chemical volumes can be achieved by designing the process in countercurrent. The best process can be found by optimization of various extraction parameters such as reaction temperature, phase ratio, extractant concentration, time, pH values, and O/A phase ratios. The result will be a reduction in the volume of liquid waste and energy consumption.
