Benefits of TIC Analysis in Lithium Battery Recycling for Lithium Recovery

Challenge: A fast and automated method for the determination of Li2CO3 in recycling waters of the lithium ion battery (LIB) recycling

Solution: The TIC measurement by multi N/C series offers a fully automated possibility to quickly and accurately determine the carbonate content of the lithium brought into solution

Intended audience: Battery recycling companies, process developers for lithium recovery in lithium ion battery accumulator recycling

The recovery of lithium from lithium ion batteries (LIB) is gaining more and more importance due to the expansion of electrification, especially in the mobility sector. The classification as a critical raw material by the EU, rising raw material prices and demand as well as legally defined recycling quotas are currently leading to a high level of research activities and the construction of industrial recycling plants. These projects, besides other valuable components of a battery, focus on the recovery of lithium. A possible target product that could be used as a raw material in battery production is lithium carbonate.
