In the future, large quantities of end-of-life lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) will be sent for recycling. Currently, recycling processes focus on high recovery of the black mass and its valuable components such as nickel and cobalt. However, this results in high losses of other materials contained in the batteries, such as aluminum.

Battery Lifecycle – Decentralised Hub Concepts to offer centralised solutions for challenges along the Supply Chain

The recycling of lithium-ion batteries is currently a very present topic in the field of research but also in the industry. New developments for the recovery of valuable metals from spent LIBs indicate a clear trend towards hydrometallurgical concepts. In this context, especially the pre-treatment plays an essential role.

Oxide-based lithium solid-state batteries from a recycling perspective

Access to cheap and clean energy is key to our society's prosperity (Smalley, 2005). Therefore, electrochemical energy conversion and storage technologies are paramount for the energy transition to combat climate change. Ever since the commercialization of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) by Sony in the 1990s (Nagaura 1990), LIBs have proven to be reliable and efficient in terms of lifetime and energy as well as power density (Janek & Zeier 2016). LIBs with intercalation cathode active material (CAM), liquid electrolyte, and graphite anode have dominated the battery market since their introduction.

FuLIBatteR – Future Lithium-Ion Battery Recycling for Recovery of Critical Raw Materials

Global crises, like the Sars-CoV-2 pandemic, and dependency on the economic situation on raw material markets, as well as unexpected issues in global supply chains, such as the Suez Canal obstruction by a large container ship, intensify the efforts of local production and consequently, of sufficient raw material supply as well as regional solutions for recycling. Unfortunately, the raw materials for producing our daily life goods and things for saving the living standard are not evenly distributed worldwide (European Commission, 2022; Olivetti, Gaustad, & Fu, 2017).

Assessing the Raw Material Availability in the Circular Economy of Lithium-Ion Traction Batteries

Political efforts at the federal and European level are directed against climate change. Industries with high pollutant emissions are coming under increasing regulatory pressure due to stricter provisions in legislation. These regulations are a major driver for the increasing degree of electrification in the vehicle market (Pischinger & Seiffert 2016, Korthauer 2013). By using renewable energy sources to generate electricity, road transport can not only be locally emission free, but also without the consumption of fossil raw materials.

Storage facility private households: Utilizing unexploited potential

Electrical and electronic equipment that contains private data, such as mobile phones or notebooks, is often stored in private households. Owners hesitate to recycle these devices, as they fear for the safety of their data.

Plastics Recycling and Energy Recovery Activities in Poland – Current Status and Development Prospects –
© ThomĂ©-Kozmiensky Verlag GmbH (9/2016)
The waste disposal system in Poland is one of the least advanced in Europe. Despite great efforts over the last 20 years municipal waste landfilling has only reduced from 95 percent in 1991 to 73 percent in 2010. This still means that millions of tonnes of post-consumer waste continue to be landfilled.
