Key Data Set Information
Location CN
Reference year 2022
Name
recycling NCM battery by pyrometallurgy
Use advice for data set The data set associated with this industrial process should be utilized with considerations of the specific recovery efficiency and purity of the recovered materials. Users are advised to ensure that the recycling data align with the technological capabilities of the pyrometallurgical facility. Factors such as the age of the NCM battery, the state of discharge, and pre-treatment processes may affect the quality and quantitativeness of the recovered materials. It is recommended that users integrate this data with their own inventory to reflect actual practices accurately.
Technical purpose of product or process This pyrometallurgical recycling process is designed to recover precursor materials from retired NCM lithium batteries. Typically, this applies to batteries used in various applications such as electric vehicles, portable electronics, and energy storage systems.
