Benefits of recycling lithium-ion batteries in mobile phones

Abstract

Recycling of lithium-ion batteries for mobile phones, which is dominant in the phone battery industry in
general, recovery of precious metals such as cobalt and lithium, and disposal of material flows containing
hazardous pollutants requires a comprehensive approach that takes into account all these pollutants, releases
/ emissions and associated risks . Depending on what the components of these batteries contain, the research
in them is similar to the research and study in the annual Guinness Book of Records due to the presence of a
large and diverse amount of minerals and plastics. Therefore, this study was addressed to the types of
common phone batteries and their physical and metal components, principles of recycling, and methods of
physical and chemical treatment, in addition to To the methods of recovering cobalt and lithium, and we ask
that this study will be useful, especially since its increase and neglect of its recycling represents a huge
economic loss due to the precious metals it contains, as well as its neglect and dumping in public waste
streams represents an environmental threat that has great dangers to the earth and humans.
