The first steps of battery recycling, known as pre-treatment, take place mainly in the spokes. Here the used batteries are collected, discharged, dismantled and mechanically or by pyrolysis processed into the so-called black mass (a mixture of cathode and anode active materials) with the valuable metals such as Li, Ni and Co.
The future direction of battery recycling is technologically efficient and environmentally friendly. The use of lithium-ion batteries in portable electronic devices and electric vehicles has become well-established, and battery demand is rapidly increasing annually.
Safety in metallurgical processes requires the rational design of process units and operating parameters. From an environmental perspective, the significance of battery recycling lies in the circular economy and reduction in the ecological damage caused by industrial products.
It covers current practices in material collection, sorting, transportation, handling, and recycling. Future generations of batteries will further increase the diversity of cell chemistry and components.
The FZEB is involved in numerous national and international projects and is one of the key players in Europe in the field of direct battery recycling. Direct battery recycling is an emerging approach that is in particularly - but not exclusively - interesting for low-cost battery chemistries.
Recycling facilities can be divided into »spokes« and »hubs« according to the depth of recycling, i.e. the input and output materials of the recycling process. The first steps of battery recycling, known as pre-treatment, take place mainly in the spokes.
