The paper focuses on the improved process of metal recovery from lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) lithium nickel manganese cobalt oxide (NMC) cathode waste materials by using hydrometallurgical methods. In the acid leaching step, the essential effects of acidity concentration, H2O2 concentration, leaching time, liquid-solid mass ratio, and reaction temperature with the leaching percentage were investigated in detail. The cathode material was leached with 2M H2SO4 and 10 vol. % H2O2 at 70 °C and 300

Carbon capture and utilization (CCU) has attracted increased attention as a means to mitigate and adapt to climate change. CCU technology regards CO2 as a raw material and reduces CO2 emissions. However, purity and pressurization requirements in most CCU technologies are high. Flue gas that is emitted from industries and transportation requires advanced purification and pressurization, which limits the development and decreases the feasibility of CCU application. Hence, a new approach to CCU tec

Mineral carbonation using alkaline wastes is an attractive approach to CO₂ utilization. Owing to the difference between waste CO₂ and feedstock CO₂, developing CO₂ utilization technologies without CO₂ purification and pressurization is a promising concept. This study investigated a potential method for CO₂ utilization via direct aqueous carbonation of synthesized concrete fines under atmospheric pressure and low CO₂ con

Mineral carbonation of alkaline wastes is a promising route for carbon dioxide (CO2) capture and utilization. An exploration of the carbonation potential of relatively inert alkaline wastes is important to develop mineral carbonation. Large amounts of coal fly ash are generated from coal-fired power plants and must be treated. A fundamental study of the circular indirect carbonation of coal fly ash was proposed and fly-ash leaching, calcium carbonate (CaCO3) precipitation, and solution regenerat

Tantalum is a critical metal that is widely used in electronic products. The demand for tantalum is increasing, but the supply is limited. As tantalum waste products have increased in Taiwan in recent years, the treatment of spent tantalum capacitors has become necessary and important. The recycling of tantalum from tantalum capacitors will not only decrease pollution from waste, but will also conserve tantalum resources. The tantalum content in epoxy-coated solid electrolyte tantalum capacitors

Abstract Desalination brine is a concentrated stream that is generated during the desalination process. Brine commonly has high salinity and TDS (total dissolved ions), which contains ions such as Na + , K + , Ca 2+ , Mg 2+ , Cl − , SO 4 2− , HCO 3 − , PO 4 3− , and some critical elements. Currently, the brine treatment mainly applies direct disposal, like surface water discharge, sewer discharge, deep‐well injection, and evaporation ponds. However, these methods can cause harm to marine ecosyst

Purification of lithium carbonate, in the battery industry, is an important step in the future. In this experiment, the waste lithium-ion batteries were crushed, sieved, leached with sulfuric acid, eluted with an extractant, and finally sulphate solutions were extracted, through selective precipitation. Next, sodium carbonate was first added to the sulphate solutions, to precipitate lithium carbonate (Li2CO3). After that, lithium carbonate was put into the water to create lithium carbonate slurr

Dephosphorization slag is not effectively utilized owing to its characteristics of having high phosphorus (P) content and being rich in free CaO. In this study, direct aqueous carbonation of dephosphorization slag under mild conditions (i.e., atmospheric pressure, unconcentrated CO2, and room temperature) was investigated to explore the potential for CO2 sequestration and utilization, as well as to improve its properties for further utilization. The maximum CO2 uptake capacity of 0.06 g-CO2/g-sl

The concomitant generation of concrete fines as a byproduct during aggregate recycling is problematic in entire concrete recycling system. The properties of concrete fines mostly composed of hydrated cement limits the availability in construction use. Effective utilization of concrete fines must be explored to improve the negative environmental impact from the cement and concrete industries. Developing concrete fines as alternative material is one of promising options. This study investigated th
