How to set a 1TPH lithium battery recycling plant in the Netherlands?

Dutch Lithium Battery Recycling Policy You Must Know

The Netherlands, a leader in circular economy practices, enforces stringent regulations to ensure sustainable lithium battery recycling. Key policies include:

Manufacturers/importers must fund recycling. Non-compliance penalties reach €900,000 or 10% of annual turnover.

Mandatory recovery of 50% lithium and 95% cobalt from recycled batteries by 2025.

Exporting untreated batteries is banned; all processing must occur domestically.

Recycling processes must emit ≤50% CO₂compared to virgin mining (per Dutch Climate Act).

VLAREM Environmental Permit (waste treatment category).
ISO 14001 Certification for environmental management.

How YSX Recycling Equipment Helps Construct a 1tph Lithium Battery Recycling Plant

YSX team design modular, EU-compliant systems tailored to Dutch standards. Here’s how our equipment streamlines your 1tph plant:

Discharging Lithium Batteries

Fully Automated Discharge Chamber

Before processing waste lithium-ion batteries, we suggest you use saltwater baths (5% NaCl) to drain residual power (0-2V) in 24 hours. Explosion-proof design meets ATEX Zone 1 safety standards. If you have any questions, welcome to consult our engineers for details related to lithium battery discharge.

Shredding Scrap Batteries

The role of circuit board crusher in circuit board recycling

YSX Dual-Shaft Shredder

Shredding machine reduces batteries to 10cm×4cm pieces (Stage 1) and further to 3-4cm×2cm (Stage 2). Nitrogen-inerted to prevent thermal runaway.
Throughput: 1.2 tons/hour (10% buffer capacity).

Low temperature drying of spent lithium-ion batteries

Low temperature drying of spent lithium-ion batteries

YSX Rotary Volatilization Furnace: Heats shredded battery material to 120-150°C for 3–5 minutes.

Evaporates electrolytes (DMC, EC) and moisture, leaving:Metal shells
Copper/aluminum foils
Black mass (Li, Co, Ni, Mn oxides)
Plastic diaphragms

Vapor recovery: Condensed electrolytes are stored in 316L stainless steel tanks.

High-Temperature Pyrolysis lithium batteries

Pyrolysis Technology: An Overview

High-Temperature Pyrolysis

YSX Oxygen-Free Pyrolysis Reactor:
Operates at 600–700°C to decompose binders (PVDF) and carbonize residues. Boosts batteries’ black mass purity by 4–5% (critical for hydrometallurgical refining).
Energy-saving: Self-powered by syngas (CH₄, H₂) from the process.

Water-Cooled Screw Conveyor

Water-Cooled Screw Conveyor

Cools materials from 700°C to <60°C in 15 minutes. Prevents oxidation of lithium compounds.

Screening Process

Electrostatic-sorting

Screening Process

YSX Vibrating Sieve + Eddy Current Separator:
Sieve: Separates black mass powder (<2mm) from larger metal/plastic fragments.
Eddy Current: Recovers 98% aluminum foil (purity >99%).
Budget-Friendly Option: Replace pulse dust collectors with YSX Cyclone Dust Removal (captures 85% particles >10μm).

What You Will Get from Recycled Li Batteries

 

Output Yield (1tph) Applications
Liquid Electrolyte 50–70 kg Re – refined for new batteries
Black Mass 400–450 kg Extracts Li₂CO₃, CoSO₄, NiSO₄
Aluminum Foil 120–150 kg Sold to smelters (€1,500/ton)
Copper Foil 80–100 kg Electronics industry (€6,000/ton)
Plastic Diaphragms 50–70 kg Incineration for energy recovery
Lithium Compounds 25–30 kg Cathode material production
