With the advent of the first vehicle, batteries became a supplementary power source. Battery electric cars on the market are propelled by an electric vehicle battery, often known as a traction battery.
A secondary (rechargeable) battery is used in electric vehicles. It doesn’t need a combustion engine to move since it uses chemical energy that is stored in rechargeable battery packs. When a battery reaches its “end of life,” a new one is installed in its place.
To make the most use of limited metal resources, the precious components contained inside each of these batteries may be collected and recycled as they reach the end of their useful lives. When these batteries approach the end of their useful lives, several metals like aluminum, cobalt, nickel, lithium, and others can be recovered.
EV battery recycling is the process of reclaiming the minerals from the batteries of electric vehicles, which are mainly lithium-ion batteries. Recycling can be done by breaking apart the battery packs and separating the metals and plastics, or by using chemistry methods that combine hydrometallurgy and thermal pretreatment.
Recycling is an area of concern due to the expansion of EV production and the need for recycling infrastructure, centers and practices.
Recycling can help reduce the environmental impact of EV batteries, which are made from scarce and critical materials such as lithium, cobalt, and nickel. Recycling can also provide a valuable secondary source of these materials for new battery production, reducing the dependence on mining and improving the security of supply.
Recycling faces some challenges, such as the variety and complexity of EV battery chemistries and designs, the high cost and energy consumption of recycling processes, the low recovery rates of some materials, and the lack of regulations and incentives for recycling
The UAE EV Battery Recycling Market accounted for $XX Billion in 2021 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2026, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2024 to 2030.
As part of the company’s vertical integration and expansion goals to produce “Made in UAE” batteries, plans also call for the establishment of a lead-acid battery manufacturing facility in announced by Dubatt.
The firm was founded in Dubai Industrial City as a joint venture between Regency Group for Corporate Management and Seashore Group.
A ten-ton/hour battery breaker, a 4-cubic-meter smelter, and four refinery kettles will be the first equipment at the Dubatt factory. FIB SPA, a subsidiary of SERI Group Italy, provided the equipment and technology for the factory. The factory is expected to start operating completely very soon.
By obtaining batteries from the market, and working with significant battery merchants, scrap traders, vehicle dealerships, garages, and government agencies, the goal is to improve the effectiveness of battery recycling.
Umicore is a global materials technology and recycling group that offers end-to-end recycling services for lithium-ion batteries. They use a combination of pyrometallurgy and hydrometallurgy to recover cobalt, nickel, copper, lithium and other metals from battery waste.
Tesla is a leading electric vehicle manufacturer that also recycles its own batteries at its Gigafactory in Nevada. They use a closed-loop process that involves crushing the batteries and separating the metals using water and chemical treatment.
Li-Cycle is a Canadian company that uses a patented process called Spoke & Hub to recycle lithium-ion batteries. The Spoke process involves mechanical shredding and size reduction of the batteries, while the Hub process involves hydrometallurgical refining of the battery materials into high-purity metals and chemicals.
Redwood Materials is a US company founded by former Tesla CTO JB Straubel that aims to create a circular supply chain for battery materials. They use advanced technology and processes to recover and reuse metals such as cobalt, nickel, lithium, copper and graphite from battery waste.
Accurec Recycling is a German company that specializes in recycling various types of batteries, including lithium-ion batteries. They use a vacuum thermal treatment process to deactivate the batteries and separate the metals and plastics. They also use hydrometallurgical processes to recover high-purity metals such as cobalt and nickel.
Battery Solutions is a US company that provides comprehensive solutions for battery recycling, including collection, sorting, testing, processing and reporting. They recycle various types of batteries, including lithium-ion batteries, using mechanical and chemical methods to recover metals and plastics
