What is the Best Way to Process Lithium Battery?

With the develpment of the use of lithium battery, here are many scrap lithium battery came out, also come with a question that what is the best way to process lithium battery?

As we all know, here are many kinds of lithium battery in our daily life, generally we separate with chemical raw material, we can separate as lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery and ternary lithium battery(Such as NCM, LCO, etc).

The Best Way to Process Lithium Battery

For the all kinds of lithium battery, the best way to process is use physical way to process them. In Guanma Machinery, we have lithium battery recycling machine, aslo called lithium ion battery recycling machine.
For this machine, we have preprocessing and drying part, and then will go through 3 stage crushing lines, and 5 stage separation, will get black mass, copper, aluminum and separator.
The separation rate of aluminum, copper is higher than 99%. Black mass separation rate is about 99%. Copper, aluminum in black mass is less than 1%.

We can sale the copper, aluminum and black mass to the metal market directly. Also we can choose the further hydrometallurgy part to process black mass, then get Li2CO3, with NiSO4, CoSO4, MnSO4, FePO4. Only this part inverstments is a lttile higher.

Therefore, choosing the best way to process lithium battery is according to the lithium battery type, and the market requirement, and the inverstment of the whole project. If you have any doubt about this project or if you want to start this new business.
Don’t hesitate to contact with us, our sales manager and engineer can give you more suggestion about machine.
