Overview
Recycled lithium carbonate is made from end-of-life battery black mass through leaching, purification, lithium precipitation and refining, reaching battery-grade main content and impurity levels. Compared with primary ore routes it significantly reduces energy consumption and carbon footprint, but fluorine, copper and aluminum carryover must be monitored.
- Li₂CO₃ ≥ 99.5%
- Lithium recovery ≥ 90%
- Carbon footprint accounting available
