Abstract
The recycling of spent lithium-ion batteries (Li-ion Batteries) has drawn a lot of interest in
recent years in response to the rising demand for the corresponding high-value metals and materials
and the mounting concern emanating from the detrimental environmental effects imposed by the
conventional disposal of solid battery waste. Numerous studies have been conducted on the topic
of recycling used Li-ion batteries to produce either battery materials or specific chemical, metal
or metal-based compounds. Physical pre-treatment is typically used to separate waste materials
into various streams, facilitating the effective recovery of components in subsequent processing.
In order to further prepare the recovered materials or compounds by applying the principles of
materials chemistry and engineering, a metallurgical process is then utilized to extract and isolate
pure metals or separate contaminants from a particular waste stream.
