Electrochemical Recycling of Lithium Batteries
Supervisor: Dr Rohit Bhagat
Project Overview:
Lithium batteries consist of various valuable compounds embedded in different layers with structural materials surrounding them. Lithium is a strategic material and will become increasingly important as electrification of vehicles continues. Currently only a small percentage of these batteries are recycled as it is difficult to recover value in a cost effective way. The aim of this project is to develop a molten salt method of recovering value from batteries.
WMG has invested £13 million creating an Energy Innovation Centre that will support this work.
Objectives:
- Investigate molten salts as a method to recover lithium from batteries.
- Construct a lab scale molten process and recover lithium from batteries supplied by Jaguar Land Rover.
- Understand the recovery efficiency of the process and the energy requirements for the process.
- Establish the process at WMG to recycle batteries at the Energy Innovation Centre.
