Battery recycling is one of the areas of this sector that is getting the most attention, both professionals and individuals and even institutions, due to the importance it represents for the industry and for the environment.
Specific, las baterías de litio presentan un doble dilema. On the one hand, its waste is highly polluting, Therefore, recycling is the main destination to which they should be directed in any of their formats., from batteries used in mobile phones as in cars.
On the other hand, la tecnología y el proceso de reciclaje de litio actual, as well as the characteristics of the components of these batteries, it is quite expensive and it is not possible to recover the 100% of the material. despite this, we continue to invest in new processes with which to reduce pollution and take more advantage of recycling.
Las baterías de litio generan contaminación de varias formas. The main and most harmful is due to the emissions that the material generates when it does not receive a good recycling and/or storage treatment..
In second place, su contaminación puede llegar al agua y el daño que genera sobre el entorno marino y todo su hábitat es afectado por ello.
of all sectors, el automovilístico es el más influyente. It is estimated that for the year 2025 will represent the 90% of the entire lithium battery market.
El auge de los coches eléctricos impulsa todavía más el desarrollo de baterías de litio, but as they wear out, more and more of these components will accumulate and their recycling becomes even more necessary.
Lithium Battery Types
Es posible crear distintas combinaciones de litio. In fact, Currently there is a wide variety of these batteries, each with different characteristics.
This also makes recycling difficult as, based on the components they have, lithium batteries may require different processes.
Los tipos de batería de litio más comunes son los siguientes:
- Lithium Iron Phosphate Battery
- Lithium-silicon ion battery
- Solid State Lithium Ion Battery
- Thin Film Rechargeable Lithium Battery
- lithium titanate battery
- Lithium-air battery
- Lithium-sulfide battery
- nano-ball battery
- lithium polymer battery
The first step in the lithium battery recycling process consists of separating its materials, such as plastic, copper or aluminum.
Those chemical components are subjected to a separation process, con el que se puede clasificar el litio, cobalt, el níquel y el manganeso que forman estas baterías.
These materials are later used, solid and chemical, for the manufacture of other products, including new batteries.
Although it is not possible to take advantage of the 100% of the materials, el reciclaje de baterías de litio puede conseguir reducir considerablemente los procesos de extracción de materia prima y también reducir de manera importante la contaminación que generan.
In Recuperaciones Informáticas y Tecnológica S.L. We have all the authorizations for the removal and correct management of this type of waste and we put our fleet of vehicles at your disposal for its removal., as well as our authorizations for its correct documentation.
