Leybold vacuum technology ensures efficient recycling of lithium-ion batteries

Leybold vacuum technology ensures efficient recycling of lithium-ion batteries

Vacuum processing guarantees recycling rates of up to 95 percent for rare raw materials

Vacuum technology is used in numerous process steps in the manufacture of lithium-ion batteries: in mixing and degassing the battery slurries, in drying the coils, in filling, and in the subsequent leak test. But vacuum technology is also indispensable in mechanical recycling, so that the cell modules can be dried in the process.

Three recycling processes:

1. Pyrometallurgy

There are three processes for
