6 FAQs about [Smelting battery technology]

What is smelting a battery?

In the smelting process, the battery material is heated above its melting point to facilitate the separation of the metals in the liquid phase by reduction and subsequent formation of immiscible molten layers . The process allows the recycling of various end-of-life (EOL) LIBs based on different chemistries.

What are pyrometallurgical options for recycling spent lithium-ion batteries?

The main pyrometallurgical options for recycling spent lithium-ion batteries are pyrolysis, incineration, roasting, and smelting. Continuous research and development (R & D) in pyrometallurgical recycling will enable battery recycling companies to cope with the inevitable increase in spent LIBs.

What is a direct smelting process?

In the direct smelting process, energy storage systems are first disassembled to battery module level or battery cell level ( Abdelbaky et al., 2021; Tytgat, 2013 ). Afterwards, mechanically untreated battery modules or cells, reducing agents, and slag additives are fed into a shaft furnace.

What is the difference between pyrometallurgical recycling and smelting?

In the two pyrometallurgical recycling processes presented, the difference lies in the optional upstream connection of a pre-processing stage before the actual smelting process.

How can pyrometallurgical recycling help a battery recycling company?

Continuous research and development (R & D) in pyrometallurgical recycling will enable battery recycling companies to cope with the inevitable increase in spent LIBs. Ongoing R & D will foster the effective implementation of an economically more feasible circular economy value chain for the batteries.
