- Summary:
- Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) have consolidated their place in the technology market for the energetic transition, with global manufacturing capacity exceeding 1 TWh in recent years and costs falling in this competitive environment. At the same time, the number of end-of-life LIBs is increasing, stimulating the recycling industry to process battery streams, thus promoting the circular economy to meet the increased demand for strategic raw materials and decarbonization. Vehicle electrification is the main driver of battery production, but their end-of-life will take some time to be significant in volume in the next years. Consumer electronics such as smartphones, laptops and power tools are now available at an appropriate volume enabling the preparation of recycling industry for the moment. In this scenario, recyclers are looking for sustainable routes to absorb all these streams and the different LIBs chemistries (LFP, NCA, NMC, LCO, LMO) to recover the critical metals (Ni, Co, Cu, Mn and Li). Faced with these problems, Tupy in an Embrapii project with Tecnogreen LAREX at USP has developed a recycling route for EV batteries that extends its feed to electronic batteries in a flexible hydrometallurgical process. This work presents the results of this process, which includes the semi-pilot scale of 20kg LIBs obtained from electronics. Critical metals recovery efficiency was 71% of cell weight, leading for 83% of Co, 93% of Cu, 86% of Ni and 89% of Li. Such initial results exceed the Cu, Ni and Li efficiencies required by the European Union at the end of 2027
