Use advice for data set When using the data, it is essential to consider the efficiency and environmental impact of the pyrometallurgical recycling process. Users should note that the materials input and emitted pollutants during each stage must be accounted for in the LCA. Due to the high energy consumption, especially at the smelting and roasting stages, the impact on climate change and resource depletion should be carefully assessed. The functional unit for impact assessment based on this data is 1 kWh of battery capacity.

Data set use approval

General comment Fully discharged EoL NCM batteries are first disassembled and crushed. The battery material is then processed through a 1400℃ smelting (or sintering) process. This is followed by acid leaching and solvent extraction. Finally, oxidation and roasting at 900℃ to obtain LiCoO2.
