The invention relates to a method for recycling accumulator (72) components (12) containing an active material, in particular black
mass (62), having the steps of: (a) leaching the accumulator components (12), in particular the black
mass (62), using a leach solution (16) which contains (i)
ammonia (30) and (ii) at least one
ammonium compound (NH4X), in particular an
ammonium salt, such that at least one
metal component (M) is transferred at least partly from the accumulator components (12), in particular the black
mass (62), into the leach solution (16), thus forming a
pregnant leach solution (20) which contains at least one
metal hexammine complex (M(NH3)6, M:
metal), and (b) regenerating the
pregnant leach solution by removing at least one metal component (M) from the
pregnant leach solution (20), in particular from the metal hexammine complex (M(NH3)6), such that a regenerated leach solution (54) is produced. The invention also relates to a corresponding recycling
system.
