Get PriceLithium Li is the most valuable metal in spent lithium iron phosphate LiFePO 4 batteries but its recovery has become a challenge in electronic waste recovery because of its relatively low content and inconsistent study proposes an acid free and selective Li extraction process to successfully achieve the isomorphic substitution of Li in LiFePO 4 crystals with sodium Na
Get PriceBut firstly the minerals are required to be converted into lithium chloride by any one of the two methods as follows 1 The Acid treatment method In this method the ore is finely powdered and boiled with sulfuric acid solution The insoluble waste formed in the process is removed by simple filtration
Get PriceTherefore the resistance of lithium ion transport was increased and the insertion and extraction process of lithium ion became difficult which led to the increase of the internal resistance of the battery and the attenuation of its capacity Fig 11f was the rate performance of charge and discharge after 20 cycles at 1 C
