In Morocco, the lithium battery recycling business is gradually playing an important role, especially more and more lithium companies stationed in Morocco these days. When disposing of lithium batteries, following environmental principles is the vital thing, then adopting appropriate methods to extract valuable metals such as lithium and cobalt. So how to dispose lithum battery? On 11 March 2024, a customer from Morocco inquired about it. We suggested an integrated recycling line that efficiently recovers valuable materials from the batteries through mechanical separation.
How to Discharge Lithium Batteries Quickly?
It’s the first question from the Moroccan customer. He worried about the electrical energy still stored in waste lithium batteries, leading to chemical reactions or accidents. So discharging the batteries is the first step in the recycling and disposal of lithium batteries. Here we provide the different discharge ways according to your needs.
Generally, if what you want to start are small test lines, then use water discharge (4-6 days), brine discharge (1-2 days), or discharge cabinets and dividing cabinets to discharge lithium batteries. If your processing capacity is relatively large, at the same time, your batteries categories are soft pack, plastic hard shell and other 3C product batteries, then pinning discharge is a proper measure; if your batteries are cylindrical lithium-ion batteries, we advice you use rolling cut discharge.
After discharging, batteries are dropped directly into the discharge cooling box, where they are cooled by water. But if your budget is limited, we suggest that you put the battery in the sun to dry, but don’t leave it for too long. You must control the drying time according to the temperature of the day, otherwise it will explode.
Reminder: During the drying period, please regularly check the battery for swelling, deformation or leakage.
What is the Proper Way to Dispose Lithium Batteries after Discharge?
Then this Moroccan customer also wants to know the process of lithium battery recycling after discharge, according to his requirements of low cost and simple process, we provide him a small lithium battery production line as follows:
The process begins with shredding the batteries into smaller pieces using a solar panel shredder. This is followed by heating the shredded material in a pyrolysis furnace, where high temperatures facilitate the decomposition of the battery’s internal components, enhancing the purity of the black powder by 4-5%. This step optimally conserves valuable metals like cobalt, nickel, and lithium within the batteries.
Subsequent stages involve the use of mechanical separation techniques to segregate plastics from metals, including those rich in essential elements such as lithium, cobalt, nickel, and manganese. Integrating advanced systems like cyclone collectors and pulse dust collectors ensures efficient separation and minimizes environmental pollutants during the process.
As mentioned above, shredding, pyrolysis and separation are processes used in the recycling of lithium batteries. In this way, you can separate valuable metal powders such as steel case, aluminium case, copper powder and aluminium powder, which brings economic benefits. Data shows that applying a high-value output lithium battery recycling production line can improve your ROI. Here, it is necessary to buy the right lithium battery recycling equipment, which can help you complete lithium battery recycling efficiently.
What’s the price of lithium battery recycling line?
Finally, the Moroccan customer wanted to get a quote for the lithium battery recycling line. The guarantee of production capacity is crucial. During the communication, the Moroccan customer told us that he will process about 6,000 battery cells per day. Therefore, if we let the lithium battery recycling system work 6 hours per day, then need to buy a 500 kg/h lithium battery recycling line for this project. The price of this recycling line is about 150,000~500,000 US dollars.
The above is the specific content of our communication with the Moroccan customer. In addition to the proposal of lithium battery recycling line, we can also provide you with business plans for circuit board recycling, solar panel recycling and tire recycling. If you need it, please contact us at any time.
