| Use advice for data set | Users of this data set should note that the provided input-output information is an average derived from literature reviews specific to the period from 2013 to 2017. As this process is a representation from 'tomb' to 'cradle,' it does not account for the recycling or treatment of non-metallic elements such as plastics or metallic casings. Additionally, labor and construction costs, as well as environmental impacts from such, are excluded. The adaptability for China has been enhanced by integrating data from Chinese official sources and industry associations, but EU data might not be fully transferrable due to differing market and regulatory conditions. The Functional Unit (FU) referenced is 100 kg of a typical LIB electrode material. |
| Technical purpose of product or process | Process A of Pyrometallurgy, or traditional roasting, is intended for the direct calcination of dismantled electrode materials in the recycling of Lithium-ion batteries (LIB). The process involves heating the materials at temperatures above 1200 °C to remove organic constituents such as graphite and diaphragms, producing manganese-iron alloys from metals like Fe, Mn, Ni, and Co. |

| General comment on data set | The dismantled electrode materials are directly calcined at a temperature of more than 1200 oC, which removes the graphite in the electrodes and organic materials such as diaphragms, and the metals such as Fe, Mn, Ni and Co are melted into manganese-iron alloys. |
