Will we run out of lithium?

The content of lithium in the earth's crust is 0.002%, the world's proven lithium ore stockpile is about 14-17 million tons or so, (lithium ore resources of 80 million tons). Lithium is an indispensable element of lithium-ion batteries, currently in our view, lithium is synonymous with battery. Lithium batteries can be found everywhere in our lives, small electronic products, mobile communication equipment, and now we use to the new energy vehicles, are inseparable from the lithium element. But as more and more lithium resources are consumed, lithium resources will become less and less. What should we do to avoid consuming more lithium? The current common method is to use lithium battery recycling equipment to recover old batteries and extract valuable resources for recycling.

The biggest problem of lithium recycling is how can we recycle lithium in a safe, efficient and environmentally friendly way? Recycling methods include mechanical crushing recycling - lithium battery recycling equipment, fire recovery - high temperature extraction, wet recycling - chemical reaction. Among them, fire recovery has a certain degree of risk, such as explosion, etc., wet recovery is to use chemical reaction, which will produce a lot of environmental pollution. Finally the use of lithium battery recycling equipment recycling can avoid these problems.

Lithium battery recycling equipment is a dry crushing and separation, first use lithium battery discharge equipment to fully discharge the old lithium batteries, discharge lithium batteries are safer for later processing.

The discharged battery directly into the lithium battery recycling equipment recycling, the equipment is through the battery's multiple crushing and multiple sorting, and finally get the material. The whole process does not use any chemical reagents, and there is no high temperature extraction. And lithium battery recycling equipment throughout the recycling process are negative pressure collection, all sealed processing, for any possible waste gas, dust and other pollutants, will be through the activated carbon, spray tower and pulse dust removal equipment purification and treatment before discharge.

Recycling of old batteries we can get the end product of copper and aluminum, plastic diaphragm, iron shells and nickel strips and the most important black mass, black mass contains important lithium resources. Therefore, we can recover lithium through lithium battery recycling equipment.
