SEOUL — South Korean power generation equipment maker Doosan Energy is working with domestic cathode active material maker L&F to extract lithium from the waste powder generated during the production of cathode materials, turning it into waste batteries. entered the recycling market.
Doosan Efficiency uses L&F’s waste electricity to selectively separate lithium using distilled water and extract lithium with its own patented technology that extracts lithium carbonate through electroabsorption crystallization technology. The process is easy and environmentally friendly as no chemicals are used.
Lithium carbonate is an important industrial chemical. Its main use is as a precursor for compounds used in lithium-ion batteries. The cathode consists of a thin aluminum substrate and a compound containing active materials, conductive additives, and binders. The positive electrode active material is composed of lithium and metal.
“Demand for lithium is steadily increasing as the battery market expands rapidly along with the electric vehicle market,” said Son Yong-jin, head of strategic innovation at Doosan Energy, in a statement on November 1. there is,” he said. In cooperation with L&F, we will establish a system for the battery recycling business and actively enter the rapidly growing lithium market. ”
Secondary batteries, also called secondary batteries, including lithium-ion batteries, have become a key industry shaping the future of renewable energy. The battery recycling market will grow as the use of recycled materials will become mandatory from 2030, mainly in Europe. Battery manufacturers are developing technologies to recycle electric vehicle battery packs as vehicles with lithium-ion batteries have just entered the mass market around the world.
