lithium-ion batteries from industrial

Purchase and disposal of lithium-ion
batteries

We purchase your lithium-ion batteries from industrial use and electromobility in an environmentally friendly and sustainable manner.

Lithium-ion batteries power smartphones, power electric cars and e-bikes/scooters, and provide the cordless screwdriver with the power it needs.

Lithium recycling

Can lithium be recycled?

a, Lithium can be recycled. In times of ever-increasing demand for lithium, returning the substance into the circulation is essential. The battery collection rate was around 48 percent in 2018. This means that over 50 percent of the batteries are not returned to the cycle and important raw materials are lost.

Battery recycling: A complex process

The EU stipulates that at least 50 percent of the material in lithium-ion batteries must be reused. An infrastructure for recycling batteries from electric cars already exists, but transporting them is very complex and is also considered dangerous goods transport. It is completely independent of whether the batteries are damaged or not.

The customer, such as the responsible car dealer, is responsible for proper disposal. In order for the old battery to be transported and stored safely, a risk analysis must be carried out in advance.

There are countless different types of batteries on the market. Depending on the potential danger, a battery may even have to be packaged in an explosion-proof manner for transport.

Lithium-ion batteries contain many scarce raw materials, such as nickel, copper, cobalt and lithium.

There is still no standardized design for lithium-ion batteries, which in turn complicates the recycling of car batteries .

The batteries therefore still have to be dismantled and dismantled by hand. Depending on the type, this process takes about an hour and is therefore very time-consuming and costly.

We purchase the following lithium-ion batteries for proper disposal and professional reuse:

Lithium-containing batteries and accumulators are available in many different designs and sizes. Li batteries are available, for example, in cylindrical shape, size AA, as 9-volt block batteries and button cells. Li-Ion batteries, on the other hand, are regularly designed very individually – depending on the device in which they are installed. With the increasing digitalization and electrification of everyday life, new battery- and accumulator-operated applications are constantly being added.

For batteries containing lithium, tape off the poles before hand to avoid an external short circuit. When disposing of old electrical devices that contain batteries or accumulators, they should – if possible – be removed beforehand.

Things to know about the disposal

The main components Recycling cobalt, copper, nickel and lithium is very complicated:

The materials mentioned above are combined into modules inside the battery and can only be separated in the blast furnace.

The recovery of the valuable materials nickel, copper and cobalt is relatively easy to carry out. When melted in a blast furnace, the components separate from each other due to their different melting points. This makes it possible to extract significantly more than 90 percent of the cobalt and nickel contained.

What remains is a slag consisting of lithium and aluminum, as well as iron residues. Finally, the light metal lithium is recovered using a hydrometallurgical process. Here, previously unknown reactants are added at low temperatures and the lithium is thus extracted.

The remaining materials can be recycled relatively easily. Copper cables, circuit boards, plastic and steel housings are introduced into the corresponding material streams and further processed there.
