What happens if we don't recycle lithium batteries?

End-of-life lithium-ion batteries are different from general waste, in terms of battery construction, common lithium-ion batteries contain common lithium cobaltate in the positive and negative materials, copper, aluminum, nickel strips and iron shells and other valuable resources. These are not only resources, if these used batteries are not reasonably recycled, such as direct landfill or incineration, the electrolyte in the battery will be directly deep into the land, through the soil on our water resources and air will cause harm. The more serious will also cause harm to our human body, such as lithium salt in the electrolyte has a strong irritation to the human body. Therefore, recycling used lithium batteries is really not possible, we can use the current very popular equipment - lithium battery recycling equipment to start recycling.

                                                                                                                         
After years of exploration and development, the recycling-related industry chain has been developed very well, especially the lithium battery recycling equipment, after the continuous improvement of the process and the continuous updating of equipment, lithium battery recycling equipment is currently a very mature technology. The equipment can not only recover the battery in the copper and aluminum, black mass and other valuable resources, but also the recycling process of waste dust, exhaust gas and other purification treatment and then discharged, such as spray towers, UV light oxygen and activated carbon can be adsorbed waste dust and exhaust gas.
A large number of used lithium batteries, if not timely recycling treatment, not only back to the pollution of the environment, the planet we live in harm, and the battery can be recycled resources are wasted, you need to mine new resources into production. At the same time a large number of waste batteries pile up a great security risks, can cause fire or explosion and other accidents. These problems can be solved by using lithium battery recycling equipment to recycle used batteries.
Therefore, in order to protect the environment, reduce the occurrence of safety accidents, but also to avoid wasting resources, the recovery and disposal of lithium batteries is very important. Various countries and regions can formulate relevant policies and measures to encourage enterprises to enter the recycling industry, and at the same time can also have certain policy support or subsidies for lithium battery recycling equipment factories to promote the development of the recycling industry chain.
