In recent years, with the rapid popularity of new energy vehicles, energy storage systems, and smart devices, the demand for lithium batteries has experienced explosive growth. Mentres tanto, a large number of retired batteries are entering the recycling process. The decade from 2020 a 2030 will be a key period for lithium battery recycling technology from the beginning to maturity.
What role will recycled materials play in the global supply chain by 2030?
By 2030, the cumulative volume of retired lithium batteries worldwide will exceed 12 million tons, several times the amount in 2020.

How Will Lithium Battery Recycling Technology Evolve from 2020 a 2030?
Lithium battery recycling technology primarily follows three approaches: mechanical recycling, pyrolytic treatment, and hydrometallurgy.
Prior to 2020, mechanical recycling primarily relied on manual dismantling and basic crushing. Traditional manual disassembly is not only inefficient but also carries risks of short circuits and leakage.
Since entering 2020, YUSHUNXIN has launched electronic waste shredder. YUSHUNXIN introduced an intelligent disassembly system that completes automatic shell removal, electrolyte extraction, and graded crushing processes. Electronic waste shredder incorporates a low-temperature crushing system and inert gas protection system to prevent thermal runaway and the volatilization of organic gases.
Manufacturers began widely adopting pyrolysis technology around 2020 to remove electrolyte and organic binders, but it requires high energy and complex emissions treatment.
Porén, our low-temperature pyrolysis furnace employs an inert gas circulation system that enables efficient decomposition of organic matter below 500°C, with a 30% reduction in energy consumption from traditional equipment. Máis importante aínda, this lithium battery recycling technology is equipped with exhaust gas purification and recovery modules, which provides assurance for enterprises to reduce carbon emissions and environmental risks.
Hydrometallurgy represents the most efficient technological approach for metal recovery, and the key lies in precisely controlling the leaching, separación, and purification processes.
YUSHUNXIN hydrometallurgical equipment employs a multi-stage reactor design. Ademais, it combines acid addition with temperature control systems to automatically adjust leaching parameters according to different battery materials. Through selective extraction and electrowinning technologies, the recovery rates for lithium, nickel, and cobalt can reach over 95%, 98%, and 96%, respectively.
Can different types of batteries have the same recycling process?
There are numerous types of lithium batteries, such as ternary (NCM/NCA), fosfato de ferro de litio (LFP), lithium manganese oxide, and lithium titanate. Different battery systems have distinct requirements for recycling processes.
