Does anybody know a functioning recycling system for Li-ion batteries? do you have any papers, descriptions, case studies? Apparently as of now, they are collected and stored, but what about actual recycling?
I would like to suggest the reading of the following papers:
1- www.egvi.eu/uploads/2_4 Jan Tytgat_Umicore.pdf .
2- https://elibama.files.wordpress.com/.../v-d-batteries-recycling1.pdf.

Li-ion batteries are currently being recycled in industrial facilities. An example is UMICORE company. Since 2006, Umicore is providing recycling services for Lithium-Ion (Li-ion), Lithium Polymer and Nickel Metal Hydride batteries (NiMH) from all possible applications across the globe. With an installed capacity of 7.000 metric tons per year, the UHT furnace in Hoboken is one of the largest dedicated recycling installations for Li-ion and NiMH batteries in the world. http://pmr.umicore.com/en/batteries/our-recycling-process See also refferences: http://www.metallurgie.rwth-aachen.de/old/images/pages/publikationen/li_ion_baetteri_id_1071.pdf http://pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1021/es903729a http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0378775312002984 http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S030438940901810X http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0378775308019964 http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/10643389.2013.763578
Yes, I would be curious also for actual recycling rates (not collection rates), I am a bit puzzled by a few articles, e. g. in Die Zeit, were they claim, that actual recycling is very little....
A year ago, same question: Do you know about actual recycling rates: what I heard recently is: Copper, Zink, Iron are recycled from batteries, but not the Lithium (at least 95% not). Does anybody have better actual data on this? Who can help?
