Spent Lithium Battery Recycling: Traditional and Innovative
This review summarizes the main approaches studied and applied for battery recycling. It provides a comprehensive description of traditional approaches such as pyrometallurgy and
Recycling lithium-ion batteries addresses environmental concerns related to battery waste, such as the leakage of toxic chemicals and heavy metals, and facilitates the recovery of critical materials like lithium, cobalt, nickel, and manganese.
An effective recycling approach for spent LTO batteries would reduce reliance on primary lithium and titanium sources. Kumar et al. discussed the recycling of spent LTO batteries through leaching lithium and titanium using H₂SO₄ and H₂O₂.
Fig. 1: LIB remanufacturing and recycling routes. Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) can be recycled through four routes (yellow labels): spent battery regeneration, component (or electrode) regeneration, material regeneration and element extraction.
Figure 2. Typical direct, pyrometallurgical, and hydrometallurgical recycling methods for recovery of Li-ion battery active materials. From top to bottom, these techniques are used by OnTo, (15) Umicore, (20) and Recupyl (21) in their recycling processes (some steps have been omitted for brevity).
