Lithium ion Battery Recycling Plant

The Lithium ion Battery Recycling Plant(Lithium Battery Recycling Machine) is used for the dismantling and recycling of soft pack batteries, mobile phone batteries, case batteries, cylindrical batteries, etc. The plant’s end products are graphite powder, lithium aluminum cobalt oxide and copper.

Product Description

Play Video about Recycle Lithium Batteries

Lithium ion batteries/lithium secondary batteries are rechargeable batteries that typically use lithium metal oxides as the positive electrode material, graphite as the negative electrode material, and non-aqueous liquid organic electrolytes.
At present, research on the recycling of used lithium batteries mainly focuses on the recovery of high-value anode precious metals cobalt and lithium. The copper (content up to 35%) in the negative electrode of waste lithium batteries is an important production raw material and has a wide range of uses. The carbon powder attached to it can be used as additives for plastics, rubber, etc. Based on the structural characteristics of lithium batteries, our company adopts environmentally friendly physical separation processes to achieve efficient separation and recycling of used lithium batteries. The Lithium ion Battery Recycling Plant is used for the dismantling and recycling of soft pack batteries, mobile phone batteries, case batteries, cylindrical batteries, etc. The plant’s end products are graphite powder, lithium aluminum cobalt oxide and copper.

Positive Electrode Material

Lithium ion batteries are usually named after positive electrode materials:
Common positive electrode materials include: lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4), lithium manganese oxide (LiMn2O4), lithium cobalt oxide (LiCoO2) and ternary materials, such as nickel cobalt manganese oxide lithium NCM (LiNi ₓ CoMnO2) and nickel cobalt aluminum oxide lithium NCA (LiNi ₓ CoAlO2); Most of the ternary materials are NCM. The use of ternary materials for the positive electrode is called a ternary lithium battery.

Copper Granules — get from the Battery Anode copper foil or Leftovers.
Aluminum Granules — get from the Battery Cathode aluminum foil, leftovers, and battery case.
Separator: — PP/PE Film, set between battery Anode and cathode.
Black mass: — get from the cathode and anode coating materials, include: Co, Ni, Li, Mn, Graphite, Carbon, PVDF, SBR etc.
Steel: — get from batteries case
Recovery Rate
(1)Copper, aluminum, metal ≥98%
(2)Black mass ≥98%
(3)Separator(PP/PE Film) ≥98%
(4)Copper aluminum contain in black mass ≤1%

Flow Chart

Separation: At first, separation all kind of lithium battery according to different raw material you have. It is better to process one kind of lithium battery one time, the we can make more profit.
Discharge: Put the lithium battery into discharge box to do discharge.
Pre-process: After discharging, we put the lithium battery into shredder to do preprocess.
Drying(This is alternation): After preprocess, it is better to put the raw material to drying furnace to remove water and electrolyte to make sure lithium batter dryer, so that can increase the separation rate. Note: drying furnace need environment protect machine.
Crushing and separation process line:
Crusher mainly use hammer crusher, it use high speed hammer blades to crush lithium batter, then let metal and black mass out, after roller separator to do separation. Repeat the above process, at last to make sure black mass, copper, aluminum, and iron separated.
