Recycling

Lithium-ion batteries contain raw elements such as lithium, nickel and cobalt, which are extremely valuable finite resources in lithium-ion battery manufacturing. By adopting a sustainable approach, these items can be recovered and recycled.
 
Dismantling the lithium-ion battery is not an easy process and should be done by highly trained experts. At Prithvi Cleantech, our specialist workshop enables our approved dismantlers to safely extract all valuable elements for full recycling at approved manufacturing facilities.

Treatment

If you are a manufacturer, R&D facility, or scrap yard, the number of damaged or scrapped EVs you will receive will increase dramatically over the next 5-10 years, you may even receive a small number now.
 
With that in mind, it pays to plan ahead. Our service will collect and safely and securely dispose of any lithium-ion battery you find in your possession. Our expert advisors can discuss your disposal needs and help you properly store your battery or ship it to our authorized facility.

Reuse & Second Life

A good solution for used lithium-ion batteries is reuse and a second life. This is a good option because it delays the transformation of batteries into waste and reuse is higher in the waste hierarchy than recycling. It is widely reported that when batteries used in cars reach a state of health (SOH) of around or below 70%, it negatively affects range and indicates that batteries should be replaced as deterioration occurs. However, batteries in this state are well suited to other applications where the load imposed on them is much lighter, such as B power supplies. A battery in such a power supply doesn’t have to deliver power in quick bursts like you would need in a car that is climbing or overtaking. Instead, the uniform way of charging and discharging in a smoother way means that the lithium battery can serve longer and have a valid use.

We Use To Recycle Different Types Of Li-ion Batteries

Lithium Cobalt Oxide

Lithium cobalt oxide batteries are manufactured from lithium carbonate and cobalt and are also known as lithium cobaltate or lithium-ion cobalt batteries. These batteries are used in cell phones, laptops, and electronic cameras because of their high specific energy. They have a cobalt oxide cathode and a graphite carbon anode, and lithium ions migrate from the anode to the cathode during discharge, with the flow reversing when the battery is charged.

This battery has a few disadvantages, including short battery life and low specific power. We also want to let you know that these batteries are not as safe as other varieties. Despite this, they are a popular choice for cell phones and other portable electronic devices because of their properties.

Lithium Manganese Oxide

Lithium manganese oxide batteries are sometimes known as lithium manganate or lithium-ion manganese batteries, or li-manganese or manganese spinel batteries. The technology for this sort of battery was initially discovered in the 1980s, with the first publication in the Materials Research Bulletin in 1983.

High-temperature stability distinguishes lithium manganese oxide batteries from others, which are also safer than other lithium-ion battery types. As a result, they’re frequently found in medical equipment and devices, but they can also be used in power tools, electric motorcycles, and other applications. Lithium manganese oxide batteries can also be used to power laptop computers and electric vehicles.

Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP)

Phosphate is used as a cathode in lithium iron phosphate batteries, often known as li-phosphate batteries. They have low resistance qualities, which improve their thermal stability and safety.

Durability and a long lifecycle are other advantages – fully charged batteries can be kept with no effect on the battery’s overall charge life. When the lengthy battery life of Li-phosphate batteries is considered, they are frequently the most cost-effective option. The lower voltage of the lithium-phosphate battery, on the other hand, means that it has less energy than other lithium batteries.

As a result, these batteries are frequently used in electric bikes and other applications requiring a long lifecycle and high levels of safety. These batteries are also commonly used in electric vehicles.

Lithium Nickel Manganese (NMC)

Lithium Nickel Manganese Cobalt Oxide batteries, often known as NMC batteries, are constructed of a variety of materials that are universal in lithium-ion batteries. A cathode constructed of a mix of nickel, manganese, and cobalt is included.

NMC batteries, like other lithium-ion battery types, can have a high specific energy density or a high specific power. They can’t have both features, though. This battery is most commonly seen in power tools and automobile powertrains.

Some battery manufacturers plan to convert their battery chemistry to a larger percentage of nickel to utilize less cobalt, the price of these batteries may drop even more in the future. Because of its low self-heating rate, this battery type is often used in electric vehicles.

Contract Manufacturing

First, we pick up the li-ion batteries from the customer through our logistic services and we dismantle the li-ion battery into powder. Then the product is delivered to the customer. The handling charges will be borne by the customer.

Repurposing the Battery

First, we pick up the li-ion batteries from the customer through our logistic services. The sorting & checking of the Li-ion battery is done by our experts, after the inspection, the good batteries will be handed over to the refurbishers.

Recycling

Dismantling the lithium-ion battery is not an easy process and should be done by highly trained experts. At Prithvi Cleantech, our specialist workshop enables our approved dismantlers to safely extract all valuable elements for full recycling at approved manufacturing facilities.
