batteries recycling processes and technologies

With the rapid development of new energy vehicles, the recycling of power batteries has become an important part of the development of the global new energy industry. With the rapid expansion of electric vehicles, waste batteries are growing rapidly. It is estimated that by 2035, the global waste and retired batteries will exceed 10 million tons. This will be a huge number. If these batteries are not properly handled, they will cause serious environmental pollution, and the rare metals in the batteries are also a huge waste.

At present, battery recycling is mainly divided into two categories: physical method and chemical method. The physical method is to break the battery and then screen it for precise separation. This method is low in cost. There is little pollution, but the purity is not high. The chemical method uses hydrometallurgy or pyrometallurgy. This method can efficiently extract valuable metals from batteries, and the recovery rate can reach more than 95%. However, this method consumes a lot of energy and has heavy pollution. However, in recent years, physical recycling technology has developed rapidly, and the recovery rate has been greatly improved, providing a more environmentally friendly solution for battery recycling.

With the increase in waste batteries by orders of magnitude, the battery recycling industry is moving towards scale and intelligence. At present, our company's automated disassembly production line is very complete, and accurate separation and efficient recycling have been achieved. In the future, the entire industry will form a closed-loop system of "production-use-recycling-regeneration".

The healthy development of the battery recycling industry requires the coordinated promotion of technological innovation, policy support and market mechanisms. By establishing a sound recycling system, formulating unified technical standards and strengthening environmental supervision, battery recycling will become an important support for the sustainable development of the new energy industry and contribute to the construction of a resource-saving society.
