Terminal products continue to sell well, upstream material prices have soared, this year, the pace of new energy vehicles has accelerated again. As an important part of the industrial chain, the power lithium battery recycling industry is also ushering in the dawn. According to incomplete statistics, in the first three quarters of 2024, the cumulative operating income of lithium battery recycling enterprises reached 982.446 billion yuan, and the overall performance was excellent in the quarter, and more than half of the enterprises achieved year-on-year growth in operating income.

Recently, PUHLER for Jiangxi Jiuchuan Environmental Protection Technology Co., LTD. (hereinafter referred to as "Jiuchuan Environmental Protection") to create ten thousand tons of waste lithium battery recycling production line is running at full speed to catch up with production, the project workshop machine roar constantly, the production site shows a flourishing scene!

According to the person in charge of the relevant projects of Jiuchuan Environmental protection, since the completion and production of the production line, with the cutting-edge lithium battery recycling technology and advanced intelligent production equipment, it has caused a strong response in the market, and the company's order volume has continued to rise, an increase of 180%. At present, the company has carried out strategic cooperation with a number of retired battery recycling listed enterprises, and the products flow to the downstream Ningde Times, BYD, Jiangxi Ganfeng and other new energy battery head enterprises.

Smart device enablement

Achieve full component, high quality, high value recovery

At present, the mainstream recycling method of lithium batteries is to disassemble and break the battery, obtain lithium, cobalt, nickel and other metal materials and compounds, and then put into the production line to achieve recycling. Before the battery decomposes, it is generally necessary to discharge and then disassemble, which has a certain risk. In addition, the recycling process also faces bottleneck problems such as poor economy, low added value of products, and serious secondary pollution.

In view of the pain points of lithium iron phosphate recycling industry, the production line created by PUHLER cycle for Jiuhuan Environmental protection adopts the process of "flexible charging - charged crushing - medium and low temperature heat treatment - full component physical separation", which not only effectively solves the technical problems of long load discharge cycle, high cost, water pollution caused by brine discharge, and explosion in the crushing process. The decommissioned lithium iron phosphate battery has also achieved full component, high quality, high value recovery cycle production.

The pile head, shell, copper foil, aluminum foil, positive and negative powder of waste lithium-ion batteries are safe, environmentally friendly, efficient (production capacity 1.5-1.8 tons/hour), and high-quality recovery (copper and aluminum content in black powder <0.5~1.0%) to achieve resource recycling from waste batteries to high-end power battery materials.
