LITHIUM BATTERY
With the rapid growth of EVs, energy storage, and consumer electronics, the volume of waste lithium batteries continues to rise. Policy support for resource recycling, stricter environmental requirements, and growing demand for critical materials are making lithium battery recycling an increasingly important market with both environmental and commercial value.
However, their charged state, flammable components, and complex composition create challenges in process safety, dust and off-gas control, and the efficient recovery of valuable materials such as copper, aluminum, and black mass.
A safe, closed, and efficient recycling system can therefore help reduce processing risks while recovering valuable resources from waste batteries.
For dismantled cells, modules, prismatic cells, pouch cells, and other lithium battery materials, GEP ECOTECH integrates multiple processing stages to achieve safe shredding and efficient recovery of valuable fractions. For example, Black mass recycling rate ≥98%, Copper purity ≥96%, Aluminum purity ≥95%.
Cells are shredded to approximately 20-40 mm in a low-oxygen closed shredding system, with continuous nitrogen protection, safety monitoring, and fire suppression.
Controlled low-oxygen pyrolysis volatilizes electrolytes and decomposes separators and binders, with continuous oxygen monitoring to minimize combustion and explosion risks.
Multi-stage depowdering, air separation, dry stripping, and copper-aluminum separation efficiently recover black mass, copper, aluminum, and other valuable fractions.
Pyrolysis off-gas is treated through high-temperature combustion, followed by deacidification, defluorination, and adsorption before compliant discharge.
Nitrogen protection, safety monitoring, and fire suppression help reduce risks during charged battery shredding.
Controlled low-oxygen pyrolysis processes electrolytes, separators, and binders while minimizing combustion and explosion risks.
Closed multi-stage separation helps reduce dust emissions and workshop contamination.
Efficient separation of black mass, copper, aluminum, and other valuable fractions enhances resource recovery.
Integrated pyrolysis, combustion, and off-gas purification provide comprehensive emission control.
Integrating high-efficiency shredding, nitrogen protection, safety monitoring, and fire suppression, the system provides a safe and closed environment for charged battery processing.
Controlled low-oxygen pyrolysis volatilizes electrolytes and decomposes separators and binders, preparing stable materials for downstream separation.
Multi-stage depowdering, air separation, dry stripping, and copper-aluminum separation efficiently separate black mass, copper, aluminum, and other fractions.
