An overview on the processes and technologies for recycling cathodic active materials from spent lithium-ion batteries

Novel approach to recover cobalt and lithium from spent lithium-ion battery using oxalic acid

“…Meanwhile, the relevant previous studies and this work were compared to discuss here [16,18,29]. Based on the acid concentration and leaching efficiency, the profile of leaching performance is illustrated for various acids in Fig.…”

“…However, the most previous studies related to cobalt and lithium recovery were concentrated on (1) the relatively pure cathode materials from spent LIBs, and (2) single source of application like laptop computer [14][15][16][17]. Regarding small e-waste such as spent LIBs, mechanical crushing and screening are thought to be easier in industrial application than manual dismantling [18].…”

Recycling of lithium-ion batteries: a novel method to separate coating and foil of electrodes

“…More information about the state of the art of recycling of lithium-ion batteries is summarized in review publications Espinosa et al, 2004;Georgi-Maschler et al, 2012;Granata et al, 2012b;Hanisch et al, 2015a;Nan et al, 2006;Swain et al, 2007;Vezzini, 2014b;Wen et al, 2012;Xu et al, 2008;Zhang et al, 2013b). An exemplary process chain to recycle lithium-ion battery cells is illustrated in Fig.…”

“…More comprehensive reviews on hydro-metallurgical processes in the field of recycling of lithium-ion batteries are reviewed in literature (Chagnes and Pospiech, 2013;Hanisch et al, 2015a;Jouli e et al, 2014) and included in general reviews about lithium-ion battery recycling (Xu et al, 2008;Zhang et al, 2013b). The first step of a hydro-metallurgical treatment is the leaching of the regained powder fractions including the active material fraction.…”

Separation of cobalt(II) from manganese(II) using a polymer inclusion membrane withN-[N,N-di(2-ethylhexyl)aminocarbonylmethyl]glycine (D2EHAG) as the extractant/carrier

“…Therefore, a stable supply of this metal is of considerable importance to these industries. The recovery of cobalt from electronic products such as lithium ion batteries has emerged as a possible secondary source of the metal in addition to cobalt mining . Consequently the interest in developing efficient separation techniques for recovery of cobalt has grown significantly in recent years …”
