Use advice for data set When using this LFP battery hydrometallurgy dataset, users should account for the variation in metal recovery rates due to different conditions and technologies cited in multiple papers. The dataset's functional unit is 1 kWh, which requires users to adjust their calculations based on the capacity of the batteries studied. Users must consider the technological applicability of the data, specifically related to the efficiency and purity of the recovered materials, to ensure its relevance for their specific recycling processes or life cycle assessments.

Data set use approval

General comment First, the EoL LFP batteries were disassembled and crushed. The processed battery material was then dissolved in an acid-base solution to extract some of the valuable metal elements. Finally, decontamination and purification were performed to obtain LiFePO4.

Technical purpose The hydrometallurgical process described is utilized for the recovery and recycling of valuable metals from end-of-life (EoL) lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries. It involves disassembly, crushing of spent batteries, extraction of metals via leaching in an acid-base solution, followed by purification processes to obtain high-purity lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4). This recycled LiFePO4 can be used as a cathode material for the manufacturing of new lithium-ion batteries.
