Descripción del proyecto
Mejor reciclaje de baterías para un futuro limpio
Las baterías desempeñan un papel esencial en las innovaciones energéticas del futuro, muy demandadas tanto por el sector de las energías renovables como por el de las fuentes de energía móviles. A medida que crece el mercado europeo de baterías, es necesario innovar para lograr poner en práctica una economía circular. El proyecto BATRAW, financiado con fondos europeos, tiene por objeto aportar esta innovación a través de la investigación y el desarrollo de diferentes tecnologías y metodologías dirigidas a mejorar el reciclaje de baterías. Su equipo se propone lograr un reciclaje de hasta el 98 % de las piezas de las baterías, procesos de reciclaje más seguros y eficientes y una mejor gestión de los materiales reciclados y las cadenas de valor. La consecución de estos objetivos contribuirá a un mercado sostenible de baterías y reducirá el impacto ambiental de su producción y eliminación.
Objetivo
BATRAW main objective is to develop and demonstrate two innovative pilot systems for sustainable recycling and end of life management of EV batteries, domestic batteries, and battery scraps contributing to the generation of secondary streams of strategically important CRMs and battery RMs. The first pilot will deliver innovative technologies and processes for dismantling of battery packs achieving recovery of 95% of battery pack components and separating waste streams including cells and modules by semi-automated processes for recycling. BATRAW's second pilot will scale and demonstrate efficient pre-treatment and continuous hydrometallurgical recycling of battery cells and modules including innovative steps for C-graphite, Al and Cu separation from black mass and Mn extraction, achieving a recovery of the full range of battery RMs (Co, Ni, Mn, Li, C-graphite, Al and Cu) at selectivity of 90-98%. Innovations wil be scaled and demonstrated in a pilot systems with recycling capacity of 1 ton lithium-ion battery (LIB) packs dismantled per shift (8 hours) and treat 300 kg BM per day. BATRAW outcomes are of strategic importance within the prospects of the exponentially growing EU battery market and reducing EU import dependency of CRMs. The project will further promote the overall sustainability and circularity of battery products and raw materials by developing new procedures for battery repair and reuse, enabling faster diagnostics and conversion of EV packs into second life batteries, delivering eco-design guidelines for battery manufacturing, demonstrating blockchain platform for raw material tracking and supply chain transparency (Battery Passport) and delivering guidelines for safe transports and handling of battery waste. The project aims to maximize market uptake and impact through ambitious C&D&E plan including circular business models, innovations workshops, dissemination in EU platforms, policy briefs and other strategies to reach markets and stakeholders.
