Economic evaluation and prediction on typical lithium-ion battery recycling processes: A multi-objective assessment
With the increasing demand for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), the recycling processes of LIBs have aroused more attention. However, benefits remain limited due to inadequate advanced recycling technologies and low volumes of spent LIBs. In this research, an muti-objective evaluation and prediction system is established for six typical LIBs recycling processes. The direct recycling process of LiNixCoyMn1-x-yO2 (NMC) obtains the highest benefits of 10.07 USD/kg. Recycling NMC can achieve benefits from 10 to 28 USD/kg which is higher than that of LiFePO4 (LFP) because it contains critical metals. The cathode remanufacturing processes generate revenue between 0.64 and 11.9 USD/kg. The contribution of Co and Ni in spent LIBs with the market sizes expected to 3.8-8 × 109 USD and 7.5-9.5 × 109 USD by 2040.The high benefit scenario forecasts total recycling LIBs return to 14.15 × 106 USD by 2040 in China. This research provides guidance for selecting profitable recycling methods, improves sustainable development of metal resources.
期刊介绍:
The journal Resources, Conservation & Recycling welcomes contributions from research, which consider sustainable management and conservation of resources. The journal prioritizes understanding the transformation processes crucial for transitioning toward more sustainable production and consumption systems. It highlights technological, economic, institutional, and policy aspects related to specific resource management practices such as conservation, recycling, and resource substitution, as well as broader strategies like improving resource productivity and restructuring production and consumption patterns.
Contributions may address regional, national, or international scales and can range from individual resources or technologies to entire sectors or systems. Authors are encouraged to explore scientific and methodological issues alongside practical, environmental, and economic implications. However, manuscripts focusing solely on laboratory experiments without discussing their broader implications will not be considered for publication in the journal.
