A complete recycling production line usually includes stages such as discharge, crushing, sorting, and extraction. The equipment first discharges the waste batteries to ensure the safety of subsequent operations. Subsequently, the battery casing, separator, positive and negative electrode materials, etc. are separated through physical fragmentation. Efficient sorting systems such as airflow sorting, magnetic separation, and screening can accurately recover metal fragments such as copper and aluminum. For the most valuable metals such as cobalt, lithium, nickel, etc., advanced hydrometallurgical techniques are usually used for extraction and purification, ultimately converting them into high-quality raw materials that can be reused for the production of new batteries.
These automated and intelligent recycling equipment not only greatly improve processing efficiency and metal recovery rate, but also effectively avoid environmental pollution caused by improper disposal, promote the formation of a green and low-carbon closed-loop cycle in the lithium battery industry, and have important significance for ensuring strategic resource security and sustainable development.
