Can pyrolyzed lithium-ion battery Black Mass be smelted?
This paper explores the options of smelting pyrolyzed lithium-ion battery black mass in a laboratory-scale electric arc furnace. Due to the high graphite content in the black mass, a smelting would result in a slag-graphite mixture, which is unsuitable for a smelting process.
How to recover valuable metals from spent lithium ion batteries?
The most common industrial processes for the recovery of valuable metals from spent LIBs are hydrometallurgical and pyrometallurgical methods . Hydrometallurgical methods like Recupyl and Toxco processes are widely designed for specific type of batteries, which makes them difficult to be applied to many varieties of real spent LIBs .
Can a pyrometallurgical method recover valuable metals from lithium-ion batteries?
We have previously demonstrated a new pyrometallurgical-based method to recover valuable metals from spent lithium-ion batteries. However, there was no in-depth work on the extraction of valuable metals from polymetallic alloy and manganese-rich slag obtained after smelting reduction.
Does early-stage lithium separation affect the smelting process with black mass?
Alternatively, this study investigates the influence and benefits of an early-stage lithium separation before entering the smelting process with black mass. Therefore, shredded battery material was thermally conditioned under an inert atmosphere at 630 °C.
Why is recycling of spent lithium-ion batteries important?
Recycling of spent lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) is of high importance against the background of ongoing electrification of society, especially in the transport sector. NMC battery raw material demands and prices for the critical elements Ni, Co, graphite, and Li are increasing accordingly [1, 2].
What is the recovery rate of Li after smelting?
In the present study, a Li recovery of 55.4% is reached before entering the smelting process, and previous studies showed recovery rates of 60–70% [22, 27, 28, 33] to be possible. In thermal pre-treatment, it is important to generate process conditions as reducing as possible .
