Jakarta recycling energy storage batteries

Can a battery be recycled?

If the battery's capacity reaches below 50 percent, then the battery can be recycled to extract valuable materials in order to produce new batteries. Recycle can also be conducted by utilizing used battery as raw materials to create different products from the battery, such as ceramic pigments or metal alloy.

Can battery recycling reduce environmental problems?

(ANTARA/Rina Nur Anggraini) Jakarta (ANTARA) - The National Research and Innovation Agency (BRIN) developed a low-energy method of recycling used batteries to reduce environmental problems due to battery waste containing heavy metals that can endanger the environment and health.

Are libs recycling facilities necessary for EV battery recycling?

As the quantity of LIBs becomes significant, LIBs recycling facilities are absolutely needed to tackle the upcoming threats. According to Frost and Sullivan Outlook, the global EV battery recycling market generated a revenue of $10.3 million in 2018 and would reach $6,524.2 million by 2025, expanding at a CAGR of 151.5%.

What is the potential recycling process of lithium-ion batteries?

The potential recycling process of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) Figure 1 points out that the recycling process of spent LIB mainly includes deactivation, pre-treatment, and recovery. These entire processes aim to reduce the scrap volume, separate battery components, enrich valuable metals, and eliminate hazardous waste released to the environment.

Can recycled lithium-ion batteries prolong the end-of-life?

Addressing these threats, recycling spent LIBs could be considered as the ultimate solution to prolong the End-of-Life (EOL) of lithium-ion batteries. This solution allows us to return valuable materials back into the value chain and close the loop of LIB life-cycle, realising circular economy. Figure 1.
