| Use advice for data set | When using data from the pyrometallurgical recycling process of NCM lithium batteries, it's important to account for the quality and composition of the reclaimed materials. Data users should adjust their models to reflect efficiencies and potential losses due to the process temperature and handling. The end-of-life batteries should be considered fully discharged before recycling, and any deviations or additional preprocessing steps taken must be clearly documented and factored into the assessment. |
| Technical purpose of product or process | The pyrometallurgical recycling process is utilized for the recovery of precious metals from end-of-life NCM lithium batteries. It is commonly applied in recycling facilities that specialize in battery recycling, offering a less complex method for processing discharged and partially disassembled batteries through direct melting. This process mainly serves the purpose of reclaiming valuable materials for use in the manufacturing of new batteries. |
