metal extraction;Leaching battery panels with nitric acid
Use advice for data set When using this data set, users should account for the environmental impact of strong solvent use and pollutant discharge that occurs during the leaching process. It is important to include these impacts in the Life Cycle Assessment to ensure a comprehensive evaluation of the process. Additionally, users should consider the technological applicability based on the intended recovery of certain metals and the purity levels achieved. The data should not be applied to processes that do not employ hydrometallurgical methods or for materials that do not react with nitric acid. Consideration should also be given to the geographic and technological relevance of the data to the specific context in which it is applied.
Technical purpose of product or process This industrial process involves the metal extraction from battery panels through a hydrometallurgical recovery method using nitric acid leaching. The process is typically applied for the recovery of valuable metals from spent battery materials, where the use of strong solvents assists in separating metals for further processing and recycling. This method is utilized in industries that require high-purity metal inputs, such as the electronics and automotive sectors, particularly for producing components that demand specific metal properties.
