Recycling spent lithium ion batteries by flash joule heating: preferential lithium recovery and Li-phase conversion mechanism under ultra-temperature
The recovery of spent lithium-ion batteries is crucial for sustainable renewable resources and environmental protection. Low lithium recovery efficiency and high energy consumption are the main problems in current recycling technologies for black mass of spent NCM batteries. This study innovatively applies flash joule heating (FJH) to preferentially recover lithium from industrial raw materials. We firstly revealed the Li-phase conversion behavior under nonequilibrium high temperature state. At the optimal FJH condition (1400 °C, 90 s), main Li-phases convert into Li2O and Li5AlO4, while the transition metals reduce to elemental forms and low-valence oxides. The Li-phase conversion behavior and FJH characteristics matched excellently, enabling 91.8 % selectively lithium extraction by water. Ni, Co, and Mn are recovered via sulfuric acid leaching with over 98 % efficiencies. This innovative method offers a new pathway for recycling spent LIBs in both theory and technology, and extremely appealing for its energy conservation and high recovery efficiency.
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.
