Use advice for data set When utilizing this dataset for Life Cycle Assessment, users should ensure that the scope of their assessment includes the full recycling process outlined: hydrochloric acid leaching, hydrogen peroxide oxidation, and soda ash pH adjustment. It is recommended to account for the environmental impacts of reagents and energy used in these processing steps. Inclusion of the recovery rates of materials and potential environmental releases during the process should also be considered. The functional unit is '1 tonne of retired lithium iron phosphate batteries and similar waste,' and any comparisons or extrapolations should adhere to this baseline.

Data set use approval

General comment The mainstream recovery process of litium batteries is to recover lithium carbonate 、iron phosphate and the ternary precursor cathode material through a hydrometallurgical process (hydrochloric acid leaching-hydrogen peroxide oxidation-soda ash adjustment of pH)

Technical purpose The described industrial process is used for the recovery of valuable materials from retired lithium-ion batteries, such as lithium carbonate, iron phosphate, and ternary precursor cathode materials. The hydrometallurgical recycling process includes operations such as coarse extraction of battery powder, wet precipitation of salts, and synthesis of battery materials. This process is integral for the sustainable management of battery waste and supports the circular economy by providing inputs for new battery production.
