Magnetic Separation of Lithium-Ion Battery Black Mass for Hydrometallurgical Processing
摘要
With the rise of electric vehiclesElectric Vehicles (EVs), lithiumLithium-ion batteryBattery (LIBLithium Ion Batteries (LIB)) recyclingRecycling needs to increase to meet the economic demandsDemand of LIBsLithium Ion Batteries (LIB) and the environmentalEnvironmental concerns of “black massBlack mass” (BM). Research focused on using magnetic processingProcessing to separate the lithiumLithium metal oxideMetal oxides (LMO) cathode materials from the BM to determine viability and benefits for downstream hydrometallurgical processesHydrometallurgical processes. Magnetic separation was successful in the enrichment of LMOs, with a lithiumLithium concentrate forming in the process water that can be processed separately.
