Abstract [en]

In this report, we conducted a comprehensive life cycle assessment (LCA) study to compare the environmental impacts of two promising hydrometallurgical lithium-ion battery (LIB) recycling technologies. Initially proposed were nine current and two novel methods were proposed, from which a screening LCA in an earlier phase of the project narrowed down the technologies to two.Our comparative analysis focused on the European Union and South African contexts, updating life cycle inventory data for the current technology to match the waste material composition used in the novel technology experiments. We assessed impacts across five categories: Abiotic depletion, Acidification potential, Eutrophication Potential, Global warming potential (excluding biogenic carbon), and Ozone layer depletion potential.Based on our full LCA studies, we found that the difference in environmental performance between the current and novel technologies is negligible, with the current one performing slightly better. Furthermore, the geographical analysis reveals that the EU is favourable for hydrometallurgical LIB battery recycling technologies due to its lower electricity-related impacts.

Abstract [sv]

I den här rapporten genomförde vi en fullständig livscykelanalys (LCA) för att jämföra miljöpåverkan från två lovande hydrometallurgiska Li-Ion-batterirecycling teknik. Initialt var nio nuvarande och två nya tekniker föreslagna, vilka sedan blev två efter en screening-LCA i ett tidigare skede av projektet.Analysen jämförde Europeiska unionens och Sydafrikas kontexter och den gjordes genom att uppdatera livscykelinventariet för den nuvarande teknologin för att matcha avfallsmaterialets sammansättning som användes i de nya teknikerna. Sedan granskades inverkan på miljön inom fem kategorier: Abiotisk utarmning, försurningspotential, övergödningspotential, global uppvärmningspotential (exklusive biogent kol) och ozonlagrets utarmningspotential.Våra fullständiga LCA-studier visade att skillnaden i miljöprestanda mellan den nuvarande och den nya teknologin är liten, med den nuvarande som har en något bättre prestanda. Vidare ansågs EU vara mer fördelaktigt miljömässigt för hydrometallurgisk Li-Ion-batterirecycling teknik på grund av dess lägre elektricitetsrelaterade inverkan.
