Water as a Sustainable Leaching Agent for the Selective Leaching of Lithium from Spent Lithium-Ion Batteries.

ABSTRACT: The development of a sustainable recycling process for lithium from spent lithium-ion batteries is an essential step to reduce the environmental impact of batteries. So far, the industrial implementation of a recycling process for lithium has been hindered by low recycling efficiencies and impurities in the recycled material. The aim of this study is thus to develop an easy-to-implement recycling concept for the selective leaching of lithium from spent lithium-ion batteries with water as a sustainable leaching reagent. With this highly selective process, the quantity of chemicals used can be substantially decreased. The influence of the leaching temperature, the solid/liquid-ratio, the mixing rate, and the number of stages in multistage operation were investigated utilizing NCM-material. H
