Use advice for data set
Users of this data set should take into consideration the specific recycling techniques used by Brunp (a subsidiary of CATL) when applying this data to life cycle assessments of power batteries. Methodological aspects such as the inclusion or exclusion of recycling processes, and end-of-life treatment should align with the CML2001 model and the GaBi6 software, version 6.0, which were used in this study. It is recommended to model the use phase behavior considering the functional unit as the vehicle traveling distance of a single power system during its life cycle (250,000 km). Users should ensure that methodological consistency is maintained throughout the LCA study.

General comment
The waste LFP battery is pyrolyzed, crushed, sieved and magnetically separated to obtain the waste LFP battery cathode material, which is alkaline dissolved; the residues containing iron and lithium are obtained, and then iron, lithium, and phosphorus sources are added, and roasted to obtain the new LFP cathode material.

Technical purpose
The process described is intended for the recycling of waste lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries by combining pyrometallurgical and hydrometallurgical methods. The resulting material is suitable for the production of new LFP cathode materials, which can be used in the manufacturing of power batteries for electric vehicles and energy storage systems. This process is critical in creating a sustainable lifecycle for LFP batteries by recovering valuable components such as lithium, iron, and phosphorous, and it supports the circular economy within the battery industry.
