What is the process of recycling lithium batteries?

With the development of new energy vehicles, the power battery at the core of new energy vehicles is also increasing rapidly. Now lithium battery recycling equipmenthas attracted more and more people’s interest accordingly.At present, how to safely recover, environmentally friendly treatment, and strengthen the standardized recycling of waste power batteriey has become the focus of attention of the industry. In the processing of waste batteries, according to the treatment method there are mainly gradient utilization and dismantling and recycling; according to the different processes can be divided into: commonly used recycling processes generally include chemical recycling, physical recycling, biological recycling and the joint method of four categories. Research on recycling technology of used lithium batteries will focus on the safety issues in the pre-treatment step in the future, pollution prevention and control in the secondary treatment step, complete recycling in the in-depth treatment step, and comprehensive recycling and utilization of components in used lithium-ion power batteries in four directions .Lithium battery recycling machine is crushing recycling reuse again.

The  rapid increase in the ownership of new energy vehicles means that the core of new energy vehicles that are about to be scrapped - power batteries are also growing rapidly, a large number of used power batteries how to be properly handled? At present, how to safely recover, environmentally friendly treatment, and strengthen the standardized recycling of waste power batteries has become a topic of general concern in the industry. Power batteries in new energy vehicles on the service life is generally about 8 years, in the new energy vehicle industry's strong growth, the first batch of domestic power batteries into the market is about to usher in the "scrapping tide". Through the research, it is expected that by 2020, the amount of power battery scrapped that year is about 200,000 tons, by 2025 the amount of scrapped will reach 1 million tons, and by 2030 this figure will reach a staggering 3 million tons. So the lithium battery machine is necessary nowdays.

At present, China's power batteries are mainly lithium phosphorus ferrate, ternary lithium-based, as well as a small number of lithium titanate, lithium cobaltate, lithium manganate batteries. Waste power battery contains a large number of manganese, cobalt, nickel and other heavy metal elements, while its electrolyte also contains lithium hexafluorophosphate and other highly toxic substances and volatiles, improper disposal will cause serious damage to the environment. Many domestic scarce raw materials within the battery can be further applied to energy storage, power generation and other fields after selection and testing. From the perspective of environmental governance and resource utilization, the recovery and recycling of used power batteries is crucial to the development of new energy vehicles. Through the dismantling of used new energy vehicles and battery recycling and reuse, we can avoid polluting the environment while improving the efficiency of battery utilization, creating new profit margins, and reducing the cost of new energy vehicles.
