The battery recycling industry has gradually emerged under the influence of government implementation and ecological protection trends. However, the annual recycling volume is still insufficient compared to the output volume of used batteries. Therefore, more recycling plants and advanced technologies are imperative to improve recycling efficiency.
The future direction of battery recycling is technologically efficient and environmentally friendly. The use of lithium-ion batteries in portable electronic devices and electric vehicles has become well-established, and battery demand is rapidly increasing annually.
Various recycling technologies are depicted, i.e., physical recycling, direct recycling, pyrometallurgical, and hydrometallurgy recycling methods, which promote the green transformation. Hence, the waste battery recycling industry holds significant potential for application and development.
Battery recycling is a downstream process that deals with end-of-life batteries of different types and health conditions. Many established battery-recycling plants require a standardized presorting process to distinguish spent LIBs, as direct recycling reduces the efficiency of recovering valuable metals.
Pretreatment is the initial and vital step in the battery recycling process, which converts batteries from compact, solid units into fractured parts and fine particles for subsequent refinement. Primary pretreatment processes include sorting, discharging, disassembly, and crushing. 2.1. Battery sorting
