These battery recycling methods are based on directly recycling active materials from spent batteries or production waste.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe active materials are no longer dissolved completely. Instead, they are decomposed into their constituents and separated mechanically so that highly pure fractions can be recovered,\u201d explained Dr Marco Glei\u00df from KIT\u2019s Institute for Mechanical Process Engineering and Mechanics<\/a>.<\/p>\n The project has received around \u20ac3m in funding from the Federal Research Ministry.<\/p>\n By means of current battery recycling methods, cells are crushed and active materials are dissolved down to the molecular level for later extraction from the liquid in the form of metal salts.<\/p>\nWhy material recovery is more efficient than decomposition<\/h3>\n
