Process Data set: recycling LFP battery by hydrometallurgy (en) en zh

Key Data Set Information
Location CN
Reference year 2022
Name
recycling LFP battery by hydrometallurgy
Use advice for data set Users of this LCA data must take into account the specific conditions of the hydrometallurgical recycling process, including temperature, pressure, and chemical reagent concentrations. Additionally, it's critical to consider the purity level of the recovered materials and the efficiency of the recovery process when applying this data to environmental impact assessments. The exclusion of the energy consumption and emissions associated with the pre-treatment and transportation of retired batteries should also be noted.
Technical purpose of product or process The recovered materials from the LFP battery recycling process, including lithium carbonate and iron phosphate, are used for the manufacturing of new batteries and other related products where high purity of materials is essential.
Classification
Class name : Hierarchy level
  • ILCD: End-of-life treatment / Material recycling
General comment on data set The mainstream recovery process of LFP batteries is to recover lithium carbonate and iron phosphate through a hydrometallurgical process (hydrochloric acid leaching-hydrogen peroxide oxidation-soda ash adjustment of pH)
