1. The metal recovery process of DOING lithium battery recycling equipment

DOING lithium battery recycling equipment uses advanced physical sorting technology to ensure efficient and environmentally friendly recovery of valuable metal materials. The following is a detailed process of physical sorting:

a. Crushing

Waste lithium batteries first enter the coarse crusher through the feeding device for preliminary crushing. The purpose of crushing is to break the battery into smaller particles for subsequent sorting and processing.

b. Screening

The crushed material enters the screening device and is classified according to the size of the particles. Screening usually uses sieves with different apertures to separate the material into components of different particle sizes. Larger particles are further crushed and processed, while smaller particles enter the subsequent sorting steps.

c. Magnetic separation

Magnetic separation is a method of separation using the magnetic difference of materials. In lithium battery recycling, magnetic separation can effectively separate ferromagnetic materials (such as steel shells) from other non-magnetic materials (such as copper, aluminum, and positive and negative electrode materials).

d. Eddy current sorting

Eddy current sorting is a method of separating non-ferrous metals and non-metals using the eddy current effect. In lithium battery recycling, eddy current sorting can effectively separate non-ferrous metals such as copper and aluminum from other materials.

e. Airflow sorting

Airflow sorting uses airflow to separate light materials (such as diaphragms and plastics) from heavy materials (such as metals and active materials). By adjusting the speed and direction of the airflow, the sorting effect can be precisely controlled to ensure that materials of different densities are effectively separated.

Through the above physical sorting process, DOING lithium battery recycling equipment can efficiently separate metal materials (such as lithium, cobalt, nickel, copper and aluminum) from other components in waste lithium batteries, which is an ideal choice for efficient recycling of lithium battery resources.
