Pertumbuhan tersebut memicu akumulasi limbah baterai bekas yang dihasilkan serta menciptakan tantangan dalam pengelolaan limbah. Oleh karena itu dibutuhkan daur ulang baterai bekas yang efisien dan berkelanjutan. Penelitian ini mengeksplorasi penggunaan deep eutectic solvent (DES) berdasarkan asam polikarboksilat untuk memulihkan logam-logam penting, seperti litium (Li), kobalt (Co), nikel (Ni), dan mangan (Mn) dari baterai litium-ion bekas.

The growth of the lithium-ion battery market is showing a significant trend. This growth triggers the accumulation of used battery waste generated and creates challenges in waste management. Therefore, there is a need for efficient and sustainable recycling of used batteries. This research explores the use of deep eutectic solvent (DES) based on polycarboxylic acid to recover important metals, such as lithium (Li), cobalt (Co), nickel (Ni), and manganese (Mn) from spent lithium-ion batteries. In this study, temperature variation (30oC, 55oC, 80oC), LIB/DES ratio variation (1g/50ml, 1.5g/50ml, 2g/50ml, and 2.5g/50ml) and DES variation (ChCl:Succinic acid, ChCL:Maleic acid, and ChCl:Malonic acid) were used. Optimal recovery was achieved using ChCl:Maleic acid DES, yielding 99.18% Li, 65.36% Co, 94.97% Ni, and 67.88% Mn at an S/L ratio of 1g/50ml at 80°C with constant stirring. Kinetic modeling revealed that Jander kinetics best described the leaching mechanism, suggesting a diffusion-controlled process. Activation energy calculations on DES ChCl:Maleic acid yielded Li 38.57 kJ/mol, Co 63.09 kJ/mol, Ni 64.87 kJ/mol, and Mn 52.64 kJ/mol."

"Milling and LFP synthesis section (node 400) is a mechanochemical process used to grind mainly feed from node 300 (from stream 303) and node 200 (from stream 203) into a fine powder. Subsequently, solid glucose is also added to the ball mill to carbon coated the surface of regenerated LFP crystals. The LFP crystals are made by mixing FePO4 and LiFePO4 solid mixture and LiOH and Li2CO3 solution mixture under argon atmosphere. Using electrical and thermal energy solids, the feed is being mixed for 4 h using ball milling to achieve a more uniform distribution of components within the materials. At 200o C decomposed glucose promotes the reduction conversion of Fe3+ to Fe2+. After heating, LiFePO4/C is synthesised under 200 ºC. Due to the involvement of organic matter glucose in the reaction, CO2 is inevitably generated in this process. In addition to carbon dioxide, the exhaust gas also contains water vapor and argon gas. They are all transferred to be treated in the next step instead of emitting. The output from this process is the crystals solids of the regenerated LFP that has been coated with carbon, this is where the final product of the whole process produced. The objective of the final process is to create a regenerated carbon coated LFP at a rate of 1001.59 tonnes/yr.

Bagian penggilingan dan sintesis LFP (node 400) adalah proses mekanokimia yang digunakan untuk menggiling terutama umpan dari node 300 (dari aliran 303) dan node 200 (dari aliran 203) menjadi bubuk halus. Selanjutnya, glukosa padat juga ditambahkan ke ball mill untuk melapisi permukaan kristal LFP yang diregenerasi dengan karbon. Kristal LFP dibuat dengan mencampurkan campuran padat FePO4 dan LiFePO4 serta campuran larutan LiOH dan Li2CO3 di bawah atmosfer argon. Menggunakan energi listrik dan termal, umpan dicampur selama 4 jam menggunakan ball milling untuk mencapai distribusi komponen yang lebih seragam di dalam bahan. Pada suhu 200°C, glukosa yang terdekomposisi mendorong konversi reduksi Fe3+ menjadi Fe2+. Setelah pemanasan, LiFePO4/C disintesis di bawah suhu 200°C. Karena keterlibatan bahan organik glukosa dalam reaksi, CO2 tidak dapat dihindari dihasilkan dalam proses ini. Selain karbon dioksida, gas buang juga mengandung uap air dan gas argon. Semuanya dipindahkan untuk diproses pada langkah berikutnya daripada dilepaskan. Hasil dari proses ini adalah kristal padat dari LFP yang diregenerasi yang telah dilapisi dengan karbon, di sinilah produk akhir dari seluruh proses dihasilkan. Tujuan dari proses akhir ini adalah untuk menghasilkan LFP yang dilapisi karbon dengan laju 1001.59 ton/tahun."

"Mengikuti studi literatur, ekstraksi mangan dan litium dari larutan asam dapat dicapai dengan menggunakan natrium karbonat, menghasilkan presipitat karbonat mangan dan litium. Setelah reaksi, padatan disaring menggunakan filter pelat dari larutan asam. Subsistem filter reaktor kedua kemudian dipasang sebagai sejumlah besar litium yang tidak bereaksi dan litium karbonat terlarut yang tersisa. Dengan cara ini, produk padat mangan dan litium karbonat diperoleh pada 99,5% berat. Aliran daur ulang awalnya direncanakan. Namun, setelah pertimbangan dan penyelidikan lebih dalam dalam neraca massa dan spesifikasi peralatan, hal itu dipertimbangkan. Dengan demikian, aliran daur ulang dapat dianggap dilewati. Area pabrik ini mahal, memiliki total biaya tetap berdasarkan lokasi US$164.864.820 di Jakarta, Indonesia. Artinya, rencana proses ini masih memerlukan optimasi dan pertimbangan ulang. Pabrik ini juga mengeluarkan emisi karbon sebesar 80.910,20 kg CO2 per tahun. Dengan optimasi peralatan lebih lanjut, hal ini dapat dikurangi. Analisis bahaya awal menunjukkan bahwa bahaya yang ditimbulkan dalam proses ini agak minimal dan terkait dengan aliran dan bahan peralatan. Tumpahan, korosi, dan erosi adalah bahaya utama yang dapat dicegah dan dikurangi dengan perawatan dan pemeriksaan rutin.

Following a literature study, the extraction of manganese and lithium from an acidic solution can be achieved using sodium carbonate, producing carbonate precipitates of manganese and lithium. Following reaction, solids are filtered out using a plate filter from the acidic solution. A second reactor-filter subsystem is then set in place as a sizeable amount of unreacted lithium and dissolved lithium carbonate remain. In this way, a solid product of manganese and lithium carbonates are obtained at 99.5% by weight. A recycle stream was initially planned. However, after deeper consideration and investigation in mass balances and equipment specifications, it was considered. Thus, the recycle stream can be considered by-passed. This plant area is costly, having a locationfactored total fixed cost US$164,864,820 in Jakarta, Indonesia. This means that this process plan still requires optimisation and reconsiderations. This plant also gives off a carbon emission of 80,910.20 kg CO2 annually. With further equipment optimisation, this can be reduced. Preliminary hazard analysis shows that the hazards posed in this process are rather minimal and are related with flowrates and equipment materials. Spillage, corrosion, and erosion are the major hazards which can be prevented and mitigated by routine maintenance and check-up."

The consumption of lithium-ion batteries worldwide increased in 2015, from 4.6 billion to 7 billion. Of course, this increase is accompanied by an increase in the amount of waste. In each used li-ion battery unit contains several toxic electrolytes that are flammable which are harmful to the environment. The waste also contains cobalt metal which reaches 5–20%, as the largest metal composition in used lithium-ion batteries. The recycling of used lithium-ion batteries is necessary to reduce the depletion of metal resources while reducing the impact of environmental contamination. The recycling process that is often used is the hydrometallurgical leaching process. The solvent used is usually a strong acid, such as sulfuric acid and the reducing agent used is ascorbic acid.
