Is the recycling value lithium-ion batteries great? And how to recycle them?

The recycling value of lithium-ion batteries can be considered huge due to the recovery of valuable materials such as lithium, cobalt, nickel and copper, which are key ingredients in the manufacture of new batteries and other electronic devices. These metals have enormous economic value, and recycling them can reduce reliance on expensive and environmentally damaging mining activities.

Regarding lithium battery recycling, some methods, like hydrometallurgical and pyrometallurgical processes, have been used traditionally but may not recover all materials efficiently or may produce harmful byproducts. However, using DOING lithium-ion battery recycling machine to recycle waste lithium-ion batteries not only performs better in terms of efficiency, safety, environmental protection, and resource recovery rate, but also meets the requirements of modern industrialization and large-scale processing. It is an important step in promoting the lithium battery recycling industry to develop in an efficient, green and sustainable direction, and it is also the key to sustainable development.

The working process of DOING lithium-ion battery recycling machine typically involves the following steps:

1.Discharge: Lithium-ion batteries are collected from various sources, including electronic waste recycling centers, battery manufacturers, and collection points at retail stores. Lithium-ion batteries are firstly discharged to ensure safe handling during the recycling process.

2.Shredding: The waste lithium-ion batteries enter double-shaft shredder through feeding conveyor, and the battery shell and internal materials are initially separated through efficient shredding. This step lays the foundation for subsequent processing.

3.Carbonization(Pyrolysis): Next, the waste lithium-ion batteries enter the high-temperature pyrolysis link. By controlling the temperature and time, the organic matter inside the battery can be decomposed and further release valuable components. The key to this link is to control the pyrolysis conditions to ensure the efficiency and safety of the decomposition process.

4.Multiple crushing and screening: The pyrolyzed material enters the multiple crushing and screening system. Through screening technology, materials of different particle sizes and densities are effectively separated. This step helps to initially separate metal and non-metal components.

5.Fine sorting system: In the fine sorting system, advanced physical methods such as magnetic separator, airflow separator and electrostatic separator are used to accurately separate the metal and non-metal components in the lithium-ion batteries. This step is the core link in the recycling and treatment of waste lithium-ion batteries, which is directly related to the recovery rate and purity of metals.

6.Environmental protection treatment system: Throughout the entire treatment process, environmental protection has always been our focus. Through a strict environmental protection treatment system, we ensure that the waste gas and wastewater generated during the treatment process meet the national emission standards and achieve green and environmentally friendly production.
