Use advice for data set
Users leveraging this data set should note that recycling or treatment of plastic and metal shells is excluded from this analysis, as are labor costs, factory construction costs, and their environmental impact. This data is specific to conditions in China and may not represent the process in other countries. Users should consider time relevance as data represents an average from 2013-2017, and adjust for changes in technology or processes that have occurred since then. Stakeholders should integrate this data with information from LIB manufacturers, recyclers, and official Chinese agencies to ensure a comprehensive assessment. When applying this data, it is important to adhere to the methodological advice that encapsulates 'cradle to grave' processes.

General comment
The ammonia/ammonium salt system can leach Li, Ni and Co from the ternary cathode materials without leaching Mn and Al. The selectivity is good and the system is alkaline, so the amount of alkali can be saved in the recovery of the products by precipitation method.

Technical purpose
The alkaline leaching process (Process F) in Hydrometallurgy is specialized for selective extraction of lithium (Li), nickel (Ni), and cobalt (Co) from ternary cathode materials without leaching manganese (Mn) and aluminum (Al). This process is mainly utilized in the recovery and recycling of critical metals from spent lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). Given its alkaline nature, the process enables conservation of alkali usage during the precipitation recovery of products.
