Prepared Lithium-Ion Cells
Cells that have already completed the required preparation or discharge stage and are ready for controlled mechanical recycling.
Black Mass Recycling Solution
Black Mass Recycling Solution
Recover black-mass-rich active material from prepared lithium battery feedstock through controlled liberation, screening, metal separation and fine-powder collection.
02 / Feedstock
Battery materials this solution is designed to process
This solution is intended for prepared lithium battery materials where active-material recovery is the primary objective. The required process depends on how much dismantling, discharge and primary crushing have already been completed.
Electrode / Pole-Piece Scrap
Cathode or anode production scrap, trimmed electrode material and prepared pole-piece fractions containing active material bonded to current collectors.
Crushed Battery Intermediate Fractions
Material produced after primary battery crushing that still contains active material, copper, aluminum, plastics and other mixed fractions.
Black-Mass-Containing Fine Fractions
Fine material streams containing active-material-rich powder together with residual metallic or lightweight impurities.
Battery Production Scrap
Prepared manufacturing scrap suitable for controlled liberation and active-material recovery.
03 / Target Recovered Materials
Output fractions this solution is designed to recover
The final output depends on feedstock composition, liberation quality and downstream requirements. Black mass is the primary target, while metallic and lightweight fractions are separated to improve the quality and control of the recovered material stream.
Black Mass / Active Material Fraction
Fine active-material-rich fraction recovered after controlled crushing, screening, classification and fine-powder collection.
Copper-Rich Fraction
Copper-bearing material separated from current-collector fragments and other conductive components.
Aluminum-Rich Fraction
Aluminum-bearing material separated from current collectors, casings or mixed battery fractions.
Ferrous Metal Fraction
Magnetic metal fraction removed where steel casing or other ferrous material is present.
Plastic / Separator Fraction
Lightweight polymer-rich fraction separated from denser metallic and active-material streams.
04 / Recommended Recycling Process
Recommended process logic for black mass recovery
This is recommended process logic, not a fixed production line. Liberation, screening, metal separation and fine-powder collection are adjusted according to feedstock condition and target black-mass quality.
-
01
Feedstock Characterization
Confirm feedstock type, chemistry if known, particle size, moisture, metal content, liberation condition and target black-mass requirements.
-
02
Controlled Size Reduction / Liberation
Apply suitable secondary crushing or pulverizing where active material remains bonded to foil, separator or other battery components.
-
03
Screening & Particle Classification
Separate coarse material, intermediate fractions and fine active-material-rich particles so each stream can enter a more suitable separation stage.
-
04
Metal Separation
Remove magnetic and non-ferrous metallic impurities using the appropriate combination of physical separation methods.
-
05
Fine-Powder Collection
Collect black-mass-rich fines under controlled airflow and negative-pressure conditions while limiting material loss into the dust-control system.
-
06
Fraction Collection & Output Control
Collect black mass and separated copper, aluminum, ferrous and polymer-rich fractions independently for downstream handling or further treatment.
Stages can be added, skipped or reordered after feedstock characterization and project review.
05 / Safety & Environmental Control
Safety and environmental control
Fine-powder and dust control
Coordinate enclosed conveying, controlled airflow and dedicated fine-powder collection so black-mass-rich material is recovered instead of lost as uncontrolled dust.
05 / Recommended Production Lines
Complete process systems that support this solution
Recommended production lines support black-mass-oriented recovery from prepared battery feedstock, with broader lithium recycling available where a wider mechanical route is required.
