Research progress on bioleaching recovery technology of spent lithium-ion batteries
Environ Res. 2023 Sep 14:117145. doi: 10.1016/j.envres.2023.117145. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTBioleaching of lithium-ion batteries is a microbially catalyzed process. Under the action of redox, acid leaching and complexation in the presence of microorganisms, the valuable metals in the cathode material enter the liquid phase as ions and are subsequently recovered from the succeeding process. This technique has the advantages of being inexpensive, environmentally friendly and having simple needs. However, it is still in development and has not yet commercialized. In this paper, the technology is fully discussed based on...

Recycle graphite from spent lithium-ion batteries for H < sub > 2 < /sub > O < sub > 2 < /sub > electrosynthesis
Environ Sci Pollut Res Int. 2023 Aug 22. doi: 10.1007/s11356-023-29354-3. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTOn-site H2O2 synthesis via the two-electron route oxygen reduction reaction for environmental remediation is attractive. This work offers a novel strategy for both spent graphite recovery and H2O2 electrosynthesis catalyst preparation. The graphite is directly recycled from spent lithium-ion batteries to an H2O2 electrosynthesis catalyst. From the view of sustainable development and environmental protection, the H2O2 electrosynthesis catalyst prepared using spent graphite is eco-friendly and cost-efficient. The surface f...

Sustainability and affordability of Chinese-funded renewable energy project in sub-Saharan Africa: a hybridized solid oxide fuel cell, temperature sensors, and lithium-based solar system approach
This study has included a lithium-ion storage system as a key component in a hybridized renewable energy generation system for the first time that has proven to be efficient and investment worthy. The study also examines the operational parameters of Chinese-funded power plant projects in sub-Saharan Africa and their effectiveness in achieving SDG-7. The novelty of this study is evident in the proposed integrated multi-level hybrid technology model of solid oxide fuel cells, temperature point sensors, and lithium batteries powered by a solar system and embedded in thermal power plants as an alternative electrical energy sy...

A novel green deep eutectic solvent for one-step selective separation of valuable metals from spent lithium batteries: Bifunctional effect and mechanism
This study used a novel green bifunctional deep eutectic solvent (DES) containing ethylene glycol (EG) and tartaric acid (TA) for the efficient and selective recovery of cathode active materials (LiCoO2 and Li3.2Ni2.4Co1.0Mn1.4O8.3) used in lithium-ion batteries through one-step in-situ separation of Li and Co/Ni/Mn. The effects of leaching parameters on the recovery of Li and Co (ηLi and ηCo) from LiCoO2 are discussed, and the optimal reaction conditions are verified, for the first time, using a response surface method. The results demonstrate that under optimal conditions (120 °C, 12 h, EG to TA mole ratio (MEG:TA) of...

New insight into the toxic effects of lithium in the ragworm Perinereis cultrifera as revealed by lipidomic biomarkers, redox status, and histopathological features
Environ Sci Pollut Res Int. 2023 May 2. doi: 10.1007/s11356-023-27223-7. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTLithium (Li) is a toxic monovalent alkaline metal used in household items common to industrial applications. The present work was aimed at investigating the potential toxic effects of LiCl on the redox status, fatty acid composition, and histological aspects of the marine ragworm Perinereis cultrifera. Sea worms were exposed to LiCl graded doses (20, 40, and 80 mg/L) for 48 h. Compared with the control group, the saturated fatty acids (SFA) decreased while monounsaturated (MUFA) and polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) incr...

High concentration from resources to market heightens risk for power lithium-ion battery supply chains globally
This study adopts qualitative and quantitative research methods to comprehensively evaluate the power lithium-ion battery supply and demand risks by analyzing the global material flow of these batteries. The results show that the processes from resources to market of the power lithium-ion battery industry are highly concentrated with growing trends. The proportion of the top three power lithium-ion battery-producing countries grew from 71.79% in 2016 to 92.22% in 2020, increasing by 28%. The top three power lithium-ion battery-demand countries accounted for 83.07% of the demand in 2016 and 88.16% in 2020. The increasing co...

Efficient removal and recovery of phosphorus from industrial wastewater in the form of vivianite
In this study, chemical precipitation thermodynamic modeling was applied to evaluate the effect of solution factors on vivianite crystallization with actual phosphorus containing industrial wastewater. The modeling results showed that the solution pH influences the concentration of diverse ions, and the initial Fe2+ concentration affects the formation area of vivianite. The saturation index (SI) of vivianite increased with the initial Fe2+ concentration and Fe:P molar ratio. pH 7.0, initial Fe2+ concentration 500 mg/L and Fe:P molar ratio 1.50 were the optimal conditions for phosphorus recovery. Mineral Liberation Analyzer...
