Today Li-ion battery recycling processes allow the recovery of heavy metal elements such as copper, cobalt, nickel and manganese. On the other hand, lithium is generally lost in slag or released to the environment and therefore is not recovered. Lithium is an element non-substitutable of Li-ion batteries which technology is indispensable in electromobility and energy transition. Moreover, since 2020 the EU has classified lithium as a “critical metal”.

气液沉淀从锂离子电池浸出液中回收锂

如今，锂离子电池回收工艺可以回收铜、钴、镍和锰等重金属元素。另一方面，锂通常会损失在炉渣中或释放到环境中，因此无法回收。锂是锂离子电池不可替代的元素，其技术在电动汽车和能源转型中不可或缺。此外，自2020年起欧盟将锂列为“关键金属”。
