Recycling of High-Grade Cobalt Li-Ion Batteries
Most Li-ion batteries such as the ones used in mobile phones and laptops contain a notable amount of cobalt and other important metals such as copper. AkkuSer recycles these batteries using its own Dry-Technology method, which is a mechanical process based on two-stage crushing line followed by magnetic and mechanical separation unit. The outputs of the process are metal concentrates which are delivered as raw material to metal refineries. This process developed by AkkuSer enables efficient and safe recycling of these fire and explosion sensitive battery types. Efficient dust and gas treatment minimizes the environmental impact and maximizes the recovery of valuable metals. Process uses no water, chemicals or heating so it doesn’t produce any related emissions. Unlike other recycling processes our Dry-Technology method does not require any preprocessing steps for discharging the Li-Ion batteries so they can be recycled safely as such.
Recycling of Low-Grade Cobalt Li-Ion Batteries
Low-grade cobalt Lithium-Ion batteries is the fastest growing battery type. These can be found on devices such as power tools, electric bicycles and other electric mobility. Also the batteries from (H)EVs belong to this group. AkkuSer is currently developing its own recycling process for these type of batteries. This process will be a modified version of the current Dry-Technology method. The new processing line is expected to be ready and running in the first half of 2019.
Recycling of Other Battery Types
Recycling of Lead-Acid Batteries
The sorted pure Lead-acid batteries are packed according to transport regulation and delivered to appropriate recycling facilities. Materials such as lead are recovered for reuse.
