PROCESS FOR THE RECOVERY OF CATHODE MATERIALS IN THE RECYCLING OF BATTERIES
A process for removal of aluminium and iron in the recycling of rechargeable batteries comprising providing a leachate from black mass, adding phosphoric acid (H3PO4) to said leachate and adjusting the pH to form iron phosphate (FePO4) and aluminium phosphate (AIP04), precipitating and removing the formed FePO4 and A1PO4, and forming a filtrate for further recovery of cathode metals, mainly NMC-metals and lithium.
A process for generating a metal sulfate that involves crystallizing a metal sulfate from an aqueous solution to form a crystallized metal sulfate in a mother liquor with uncrystallized metal sulfate remaining in the mother liquor; separating the crystallized metal sulfate from the mother liquor; basifying a portion of the mother liquor to convert the uncrystallized metal sulfate to a basic metal salt; and using the basic metal salt upstream of crystallizing the metal sulfate. So crystallized, the generated metal sulfate may be battery-grade or electroplating-grade.
This disclosure presents a terminal (30) for a secondary cell (40). The terminal (30) comprises a terminal plate (20) comprising a through-hole (21) and an inner surface (23) adapted to face the interior of the secondary cell (40). The terminal (30) further comprises a terminal rivet (1) that extends through the through-hole (21) of the terminal plate (20). The terminal rivet (1) comprises a first flange (6) that comprises a protruding portion (7), and the protruding portion (7) extends into the inner surface (23) of the terminal plate (20) in a riveted state (1b). The disclosure also presents a terminal rivet (1).
The present invention relates to a process for producing a cathode active material precursor having a desired active material target ratio for use in a lithium-ion secondary cell or in the production of a lithium-ion secondary cell.
