Abstract:The decommissioned power lithium battery has been attracted much attention because it contains a lot of valuable metals such as cobalt, nickel, lithium and manganese. Its recycling and reusing are helpful to reduce the pressure of resource shortage and environmental pollution pressure in China. In this paper, the recovery technologies and new processes of power lithium battery at home and abroad are comprehensively reviewed, mainly including dry recovery process, wet recovery process and biological leaching recovery process, and the research status of each process is introduced. At the same time, with the continuous deepening of research on recycling technology, a more complete market recycling mechanism is really needed to match it. Therefore, we hope that the new processes will be more widely and maturely applied in the recycling industrial system in the future, and will be used in the field of power battery recycling and reuse, which is also prospected.
