Recycling Cycle of Lithium-Ion Batteries:

These batteries are commonly used in portable electronic devices and electric vehicles. The recycling process of lithium-ion batteries includes the following steps:

Step 1

Collection and Sorting:

Used batteries are collected and sorted based on size and chemical composition. This step helps prevent the risks of explosion and fire.

Step 2

Discharge and Physical Separation:

Batteries are safely discharged to avoid potential hazards. Then, they are shredded into smaller pieces. In this stage, primary metals like aluminum, copper, and plastics are separated.

Step 3

Chemical Separation:

The shredded materials are processed using chemical methods like hydrometallurgy (using acids and solvents) or pyrometallurgy (high-temperature heating). These processes help extract valuable metals like lithium, cobalt, nickel, and other valuable elements.

Step 4

Purification and Recovery:

The extracted metals are purified and used as raw materials for the production of new batteries or other industries.

Recycling of Lead-Acid Batteries:

These batteries are widely used in vehicles and energy storage systems. The recycling process of lead-acid batteries includes:

Step 1

Collection and Preparation:

Used batteries are collected and sorted based on size and chemical composition. This step helps prevent the risks of explosion and fire.

Step 2

Crushing and Separation:

The batteries are crushed and divided into different components. The separation process isolates plastics, lead, and other materials. Due to its high density, lead can be easily separated.

Step 3

Melting and Refining Lead:

The recovered lead is melted in specialized furnaces and refined to obtain pure lead. This pure lead can be reused in the production of new batteries.

Step 4

Plastic Recycling:

Separated plastics are washed and turned into plastic pellets for manufacturing new components.

Step 4

Plastic Recycling:

Sulfuric acid from the batteries can be purified and reused as an electrolyte in new batteries or converted into substances like sodium sulfate, which have applications in other industries.
