Use advice for data set
Users should apply this data set considering the specific end-of-life scenario for ternary lithium batteries, taking into account the energy consumption expressed in GEB2016 (12.0 × 1024 sej) per 1 kWh of battery output. The data should be used to model the environmental impacts of the hydrometallurgy process accurately. It is important to consider the completeness of the data from various papers and ensure methodological alignment with the functional unit of 1 kWh during the life cycle assessment.

General comment
Before adopting the wet process for material recovery, the EoL ternary lithium batteries are safely discharged, disassembled, pyrolyzed, mechanically crushed, and sorted to get powdered lithium-containing waste. Lithium-containing material is added to leaching solvent for leaching, filtered and separated to get lithium-containing solution, added to the purification agent for reaction, filtered, concentrated, and under certain reaction conditions, added to the precipitation agent fully reacted to crystallization and precipitation, filtered, washed and dried to get battery-grade lithium carbonate.Translated with DeepL

Technical purpose
The advanced hydrometallurgy process for ternary lithium batteries described is utilized in the recycling of end-of-life (EoL) battery materials. Specifically, it is used to recover high-purity lithium carbonate, which is a critical component in the manufacture of new battery cells for consumer electronics, electric vehicles, and energy storage systems.
