First, we need to know who is recycling power batteries now. When an industry is in the run-up stage, the producer naturally becomes the person in charge. According to the relevant requirements of the state, production enterprises must bear the main responsibility of battery recycling. Under the call of the government, Volkswagen, BYD, Contemporary Ampere Technology Co., Ltd. and other car companies began to establish a battery recycling system very early, and with the development of the times, this system began to make great strides to the formal industry.
So, what will the power battery do after recycling? Power batteries, whether ternary lithium batteries or lithium iron phosphate batteries, have only two fates after recycling. 1 is ladder utilization, and the second is material regeneration.
The "ladder utilization" here refers to the second utilization, for example, after the power battery is used up, it is put on the toy car and then reused. When the power battery capacity drops to about 80%, the battery life can no longer meet the normal demand. After recycling, the company will remove the battery and continue to shine in other fields. When the production capacity drops further, the final recovery becomes the final destination, and after disassembly, separation and purification, it enters the production line for the next cycle.
So in the production process, what about underground channel recycling? In fact, this is because many car companies have not established an orderly recycling system for automobile power batteries, which has led many third-party organizations to play the role of recycling.
Most of these institutions are small workshops and informal. Therefore, after disassembly and simple testing, it will directly flow into the secondary circulation market, such as charging treasure, and it is possible to assemble these batteries.
Although there is a complete recycling system in the market now, the recycling of materials is also not optimistic. Due to the abnormal activity of lithium, the recovery is not ideal, and "cobalt" is too toxic and easy to explode and pollute.
