Overview

Exploration of electroslag refining improves cobalt, nickel, and copper recovery in lithium-ion batteries, suggesting a new hybrid model for efficiency.

Key Points

Electroslag refining achieves 99.98% purity of cobalt, nickel, and copper from spent lithium-ion batteries, improving economic viability.
Experimental data indicates a 92% reduction in impurities for cobalt compared to traditional smelting methods.
The proposed hybrid 'Pyro-ESR-Hydro' model combines pyrometallurgy and hydrometallurgy for optimal recovery efficiency.
Techno-economic analysis shows a 15-20% cost increase over hydrometallurgy alone, indicating its suitability for premium applications.
