Battery Recycling

Battery Recycling

Avantor sets advanced battery science in motion to create a better world

Li-Ion batteries often contain useful and valuable high-grade metals. They also contain harmful substances, such as organic solvents and fluorine-containing lithium salts.

Therefore, recycling of Li-Ion batteries has a considerable potential economic benefit and helps to protect the natural environment.

Recycling for Li-Ion batteries usually involves both physical and chemical processes:

  • Mechanical processes (including inert crushing, sorting, and sieving processes and a special case: thermomechanical separation)
  • Hydrometallurgical processes
  • Pyrometallurgical processes

    Most lithium-ion batteries that are recycled today go through a process called “shredding”, where the battery is shredded up into very small pieces. After shredding, this so-called “black mass” is processed to extract valuable metals like cobalt and nickel.

    Avantor will support you by offering chemicals, equipment, instruments as well as a broad range of products for R&D, QA/QC, Testing, controlled environment, personal protective equipment, safety and facility management.
