The relentless demand for lithium-ion batteries necessitates an in-depth exploration of lithium extraction methods. This literature review delves into the historical evolution, contemporary practices, and emerging technologies of lithium extraction.
Lithium can be extracted from a lithium-ion battery via two major processes. Owing to the difficulty of separating lithium from the packed battery, the disposed battery is subjected to a pre-treatment process to separate the lithium-containing active material (cathode, anode) from the peripheral parts (plastic, polymer).
Active lithium is directed extracted from retired lithium-ion batteries with optimized conditions utilizing polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and nonpolar ether solvent. Using the recovered lithium solution, LiFePO 4 with performance on par with commercial materials are synthesized.
Three methods to produce lithium compounds from a pre-treated lithium-ion battery have been discussed: pyrometallurgy, hydrometallurgy, and electrochemical extraction. These techniques are still under research, and the methods can be combined to overcome their respective drawbacks.
The current research on lithium extraction focuses on improving efficiency, reducing environmental impacts, and utilizing all potential sources from which lithium can be extracted. Key advancements include the development of DLE technologies, which use selective adsorption or electrochemical methods.
Subsequently, active lithium extraction is achieved through a one-step chemical leaching process, facilitated by a PAHs solution at ambient temperature. The lithiated graphite is immersed in the lithium extraction solution, a mixture of PAHs and ether solvents, while ultrasound helps to accelerate the kinetics of lithium extraction.
