Eco-friendly approach for the effective leaching of valuable metals (Ni, Co, Mn) from spent lithium-ion batteries employing natural reductants
Key Points
The aim is to explore eco-friendly methods for leaching valuable metals from spent lithium-ion batteries.
Applied citric and tartaric acids as lixiviants for metal extraction.
Used sugarcane bagasse as a natural reductant.
Conducted leaching experiments to evaluate effectiveness.
Successful leaching of nickel, cobalt, and manganese from spent lithium-ion batteries using natural reductants.
Abstract
Citric and tartaric acids as lixiviant and sugarcane bagasse as green reductant, have been successfully applied to leach valuable metals from spent lithium-ion batteries.
