Low-temperature water vapor deactivates metallic lithium in secondary batteries, cutting energy use and preserving valuable material recovery.
Calcium-based flux control in dry smelting removes phosphorus during waste Li-ion battery melting while preserving copper, nickel, and cobalt recovery.
Immersing charged electrochemical generators in ionic liquid enables discharge and insulated opening while avoiding explosions and toxic fumes.
An ionic liquid with conductive powder enables controlled battery discharge, avoiding explosions and toxic fumes during recycling.
Automated FPD characterization and guided cutting separate screens and hazardous parts for safer, higher-throughput recycling.
A two-step atmosphere heat treatment limits electrolyte combustion and suppresses acid-leaching foam to improve cobalt, nickel, and lithium recovery.
By integrating the air switch module into the disposer housing, this case cuts under-sink connections and simplifies power control installation.
Forced-convection flow cells regenerate reducing agents separately from leaching, cutting energy use, reagent demand, and recycling cost.
Airflow through concentric cylinders charges dust by friction, replacing high-voltage particle charging with a simpler, lower-cost structure.
