Methods and systems for continuous operation of direct recycling of lithium ion battery waste

Abstract

The present disclosure provides methods and systems for the direct recycling of lithium-ion battery waste, facilitating a continuous process to reclaim and reuse battery materials, particularly targeting lithium iron phosphate (LFP) and its derivative-based lithium-ion batteries. The disclosed techniques can enable efficient recycling of batteries across various lifecycle stages, including waste generated from manufacturing, usage, and end-of-life disposal. The resulting recycled materials can maintain quality and integrity suitable for reuse, providing a sustainable solution to meet the growing demand for lithium-ion batteries while reducing environmental footprint. The proposed system is adaptable for large-scale, continuous operations.
