This is due to the potential environmental and health risks associated with battery waste, which can impact society’s sustainable development. At the same time, spent LIBs represent a valuable resource for future battery materials.
Production of battery manufacturing scraps in a closed loop from production to recycling of LIBs. As the main source of battery scraps, efforts are being made to improve and optimize the manufacturing processes.
Recycling batteries is a complex process that involves several stages, each critical for efficient material recovery and environmental sustainability. The primary methods include mechanical, pyrometallurgical, and hydrometallurgical processes, each suited to different components and types of batteries, as follows.
Battery manufacturers can also integrate their on-site recycling facilities tailored to their battery scraps since direct recycling is efficient and easy to operate. Such in-house recycling sites can also avoid the challenges and problems caused by transportation, further streamlining the recovery process.
Advancement in battery manufacturing technologies is crucial for decreasing the production rate of battery manufacturing scraps. Firstly, every step in the battery cell production process should be optimized to minimize the rejection rate.
Traditional recycling methods may not be directly applicable, necessitating new technologies capable of efficiently recovering valuable materials. These efforts are crucial for minimizing waste, reducing the demand for virgin materials, and lessening the environmental impact of battery production .
