| Use advice for data set | Users employing this data for life cycle assessment should ensure that the functional unit of 12.717g used lithium battery is consistently applied across all comparisons. It is essential to consider the system boundaries of this process, including the pre-treatment and post-treatment stages. When evaluating technological applicability, the efficiency and recovery rate of lithium during acid leaching, extraction, and purification must be accounted for, as well as any potential environmental impacts from emissions or waste generated. |
| Technical purpose of product or process | The hydrometallurgy technology outlined is designed for the recycling of used lithium batteries. Its specific application includes the recovery of valuable materials such as lithium to produce battery cathode materials. Hence, this process is primarily meant for battery recycling facilities that aim to extract and synthesize high-value elements from waste lithium-based batteries. |
