摘要

The new European Battery Regulation introduces both advantages and challenges for the recycling of lithium-ion batteries (LIB). Through the positive changes affected by this regulation, the circular economy of certain critical raw materials is to be promoted, thereby conserving natural resources. This is to be achieved by ensuring that at least 70% of the average weight of LIB is recycled by the end of 2030. Specific recovery targets are set at 95% for cobalt, nickel, copper, and lead and at 80% for lithium. Additionally, a stricter requirement for comprehensive data collection and verification from recycling companies is needed. The first step in achieving these requirements is a general assessment of end-of-life LIB designated for recycling. This includes a detailed overview of different battery designs, a general knowledge of the composition of exterior components as well as a characterisation on module level. Since current LIB recycling processes lack a characterisation at element level, a suitable method is required that provides repeatable and reliable results. This contribution presents preliminary findings of the pre-treatment and discusses upcoming challenges regarding the European Battery Regulation.
