The battery recycling industry has gradually emerged under the influence of government implementation and ecological protection trends. However, the annual recycling volume is still insufficient compared to the output volume of used batteries. Therefore, more recycling plants and advanced technologies are imperative to improve recycling efficiency.
Pretreatment is the initial and vital step in the battery recycling process, which converts batteries from compact, solid units into fractured parts and fine particles for subsequent refinement. Primary pretreatment processes include sorting, discharging, disassembly, and crushing. 2.1. Battery sorting
Battery recycling is a downstream process that deals with end-of-life batteries of different types and health conditions. Many established battery-recycling plants require a standardized presorting process to distinguish spent LIBs, as direct recycling reduces the efficiency of recovering valuable metals.
As shown in Table 3, hydrometallurgy is the most widely used recovery process. This depends on the original intention of battery recycling process design, which is to utilize and resynthesize waste LIB materials to achieve a circular economy.
Research status of comprehensive utilization Currently, two mainstream methods for recycling power batteries are gradient utilization and dismantling and recycling. When the battery's capacity decreases to 80%, LFP batteries still have many cycles left, and their decline rate is slower than ternary lithium batteries.
The recycling of spent lithium-ion battery (LIB) cathodes is crucial to ensuring the sustainability of natural resources and environmental protection. The current pyrometallurgical and hydrometallurgical recycling strategies involve high energy processing and expensive reagent consumption, raising both environmental and economic concerns.
