Key Data Set Information
Location CN
Reference year 2022
Name
recycling NCM battery by hydrometallurgy
Use advice for data set When using this data, consider the specific composition and purity of the recovered materials, as this may vary based on the recycling process. The data set is applicable only for the recycling of 48V, 12Ah NCM batteries using hydrometallurgy. It is important to ensure that assumptions made about energy consumption and recovery efficiencies are consistent with the specific methodologies used. Users should also consider the geographic relevance of the data and its alignment with local recycling regulations and practices.
Technical purpose of product or process The hydrometallurgical recycling process is used to manage spent lithium nickel cobalt manganese oxide (NCM) batteries. It is intended for recovering valuable precursor materials for use in producing new battery cells or other related applications requiring such materials.
