Common Lithium-Ion Applications in Dublin
Recycling Process
Lithium-ion batteries are discharged, dismantled, and processed using hydrometallurgical methods. Cells are shredded in an inert atmosphere to produce black mass, which is then chemically treated to recover lithium, cobalt, nickel, manganese, and copper. The recovered materials are refined to battery-grade purity for direct reuse in new cell manufacturing.
Environmental Impact
Improperly disposed lithium-ion batteries can cause landfill fires, release toxic heavy metals into groundwater, and waste critical minerals that required energy-intensive mining to extract. Recycling one ton of Li-ion batteries prevents approximately 6.3 tons of CO2 emissions compared to mining virgin materials.
