Separation and Efficient Recovery of Lithium from Spent Lithium-Ion Batteries

The consumption of lithium has increased dramatically in recent years. This can be primarily attributed to its use lithium-ion batteries for the operation hybrid and electric vehicles. Due specific properties, will also continue an indispensable key component rechargeable next decades. An average battery contains 5–7% lithium. These values indicate that used are a high-quality raw material recovery. Currently, feasibility reasonability hydrometallurgical recycling from spent is still field research. work intended compare classic method precipitation synthetic real pregnant leaching liquors gained with sodium carbonate (state art) alternative agents such as phosphate potassium phosphate. Furthermore, correlation obtained product type comprised. In addition, influence process temperature (room boiling point), well stoichiometric factor precipitant, investigated order finally enable statement about efficient process, parameter main dependencies.
