| Use advice for data set | When utilizing this dataset for life cycle assessment (LCA) purposes, it is critical to ensure that the scope of the LCA includes the specific end-of-life recovery stages. Users must account for the efficiency of acid leaching and purification steps within the hydrometallurgical process. Environmental impacts associated with the use of chemicals for leaching and further processing should also be included in the analysis. Due consideration must be given to the potential inclusion of a portion of the recycled material based on the final purity and recovery rates. |
| Technical purpose of product or process | The technical application of the described process concerns the recycling of end-of-life (EOL) nickel-cobalt-manganese (NCM) lithium-ion batteries through hydrometallurgical recovery. The obtained ternary precursor cathode materials are primarily utilized for the manufacturing of new lithium-ion batteries, catering to various sectors including consumer electronics, electric vehicles, and energy storage systems. |
